Not having a car used to mean you couldn't see your friends, and couldn't do the things you wanted to when you wanted to. Finally getting a car basically opened up life.*
Now with the internet in your pocket, you can socialize and experience new things at your convenience from wherever.
(* = USA-centric. The country is huge and tends not to have good public transport except a few of the densest urban pockets. Even our big cities are massively inconvenient without a vehicle of your own.)
