Americans and their automobiles: It\u2019s been a love story since cars became a ubiquitous feature of our country\u2019s landscape. As vehicles evolved from a few test models in the early 1800s to autos only the wealthy enjoyed to a mode of transport pretty much anyone could acquire, we\u2019ve had a long and storied history with this necessary partner. Necessary also includes auto insurance<\/a> these days, since you cannot legally drive anywhere without it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Without our rides, we would still be a stationary society \u2013 and we wouldn\u2019t have this great collection of songs from all genres about the love of using our wheels to explore our country. There\u2019s nothing like rolling the windows down and belting out the words from our favorite artists as we embark on the beloved road trip. Roger Taylor from Queen probably expressed it well in his tune \u201cI\u2019m in Love with My Car,\u201d where he celebrates his Alfa Romeo and the love of automobiles in general. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s something about embarking on a road trip that fires up everybody\u2019s sense of freedom. You may have a starting point and you may have a destination, but the magic happens in between. Hitting the \u201clong and winding road\u201d as the Beatles sang in 1970 can be done solo, with a few besties or with your family. It really doesn\u2019t matter because the open-road adventure has defined Americans since roads and autos were introduced. And rockers from all generations have written and sang ballads about the beauty \u2013 and the nostalgia \u2013 of taking their jalopies and trucks and being on the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At the root of all this exhilarating exploration down America\u2019s highways and byways is the love we have for our wheels. After all, using a horse and buggy to go from Point A to Point B wasn\u2019t nearly as much fun as hopping in our \u201cLittle Red Corvette\u201d as Prince sang in 1982 or our hot rod \u201cLittle G.T.O.\u201d as Ronnie and the Daytonas rocked out in the 1960s. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCars and Road Trips Just Go Together <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
