An automobile, motor car or car is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor. Most definitions of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods. However, the term automobile is far from precise, because there are many types of vehicles that do similar tasks.

There are approximately 600 million passenger cars worldwide (roughly one car per eleven people). Around the world, there were about 806 million cars and light trucks on the road in 2007; they burn over 1 billion m³ (260 billion US gallons) of petrol/gasoline and diesel fuel yearly. The numbers are increasing rapidly, especially in China and India.

A. ALL are. Energy is a major cost component of everything produced. If you are asking which are MORE sensitive than others, you might include chemicals, transportation (especially air and sea) and electric utilities.

A. hum...i think i would love it:) if it wasn't just me, if everyone was in the same boat as me, i think it would be great. we would cut down on unnecessary gases in the air, roads might return to a more natural state, habitats might grow back. Of course, i would hate not having immediate transportation but we could all ride bikes, flying or sailing for long distances. we might become more relaxed, and actually work together to get things done and new ideas started. i really wouldn't mind.

How do two private parties trade two automobiles of equal value for eachother?
Q. What is the easiest way to trade two equally valued automobiles, both paid off completely, for each other. The two parties live 6 hours away in two different states.
Asked by renns944 - Mon Aug 4 13:25:26 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You treat them like two seperate transactions. You are selling your car by signing off the title,giving a bill of sale and send in a release of liability. As for the sale price, it will depend on the state that the vehicle is going to be registered in. Some states just use low blue book value while others want the actual selling price. You both need to agree how you want it done. The other party would do the same with their title as you have.

  • I think cars today are almost the exact equivalent of the great Gothic cathedrals. I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object.
  • Driving is a spectacular form of amnesia. Everything is to be discovered, everything to be obliterated. Admittedly, there is the primal shock of the deserts and the dazzle of California, but when this is gone, the secondary brilliance of the journey begins, that of the excessive, pitiless distance, the infinity of anonymous faces and distances, or of certain miraculous geological formations, which ultimately testify to no human will, while keeping intact an image of upheaval. This form of travel admits of no exceptions: when it runs up against a known face, a familiar landscape, or some decipherable message, the spell is broken: the amnesic, ascetic, asymptotic charm of disappearance succumbs to affect and worldly semiology.
  • Ferraris are art, but they love being driven.
