$0.80
Looks at the interconnectedness of the car to the great political, environmental and economic questions of our time as a testament to the automobile’s continuing centrality in both our daily lives and in the great historical shifts that the car itself ushered in at the dawn of the twentieth century.

Looks at environmental impact, the importance of oil etc
