Fair enough. I don't think the car was the only driver, but I (obviously) believe it was one of the primary enablers if nothing else. I also agree with your earlier comment that perhaps the US would not be in the dominant economic position it is today without the car. It enabled extremely rapid economic growth, and that should not be discounted. I simply feel what it enabled in terms of society and lifestyle will be our undoing. I also agree it's only one factor of many however, and I'm not entirely sure what importance to put on it. Talk to me in 10 years after I get through a lot more reading and thought on the subject :)
