Correct. The car industry intentionally socially engineered the US to associate the giant individual and social burden of car ownership with freedom. A great documentary called Century of the Self covers this and other related things ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ3RzGoQC4s )

Man, my parents are such fools. Driving me to school, to putt-putt, ice cream. Then, off to work in their car just to make a payment and buy gas and cover my college tuition. The doctoral thesis of my post capitalism art history professor proves they were scammed by their capitalist overlords.
