If you or me go to the gas station to fill up our car and it costs us much more than we expected it will zap our discretionary income. We won't have the extra money to buy that washing machine or new winter coat-all big ticket items that are important to economic growth.

To understand the intensity of driving an F1 car you have to be in it. When you're driving a 750hp machine at 200mph the noise and the vibrations are incredible. The G-force when you take big corners is like someone trying to rip your head off. You hit the brakes and it feels as if the skin is being pulled off your body.

I've got Asperger's syndrome and I'm not a very good people person so I've always been more comfortable around machinery. Not in a weird way - I don't want to marry my car or anything stupid like that!

I have an answering machine in my car. It says I'm home now. But leave a message and I'll call when I'm out.

We often attribute 'understanding' and other cognitive predicates by metaphor and analogy to cars adding machines and other artifacts but nothing is proved by such attributions.

Every few seconds it changes - up an eighth down an eighth - it's like playing a slot machine. I lose $20 million I gain $20 million.

I am a big popcorn fanatic. I love popcorn. In fact one year for my birthday my husband bought me one of those big popcorn machines like they have in movie theaters.
