"Does anybody know the origin of the claim that "America is engaged in a love affair with the car"?

more like a shotgun wedding...little if any choice of lovers , except for color-style variations, which are based on bankroll...most of us are in cars for the same reason we used to be on horses, or walk, or take public transit...that's what's available, no more no less...though some certainly like to clean the car, paint it, or soup it up, but that is no more love than showering before going to work implies a love affair with markets...
