The car as we know it is on the way out. To a large extent, I deplore its passing, for as a basically old-fashioned machine, it enshrines a basically old-fashioned idea: freedom. In terms of pollution, noise and human life, the price of that freedom may be high, but perhaps the car, by the very muddle and confusion it causes, may be holding back the remorseless spread of the regimented, electronic society. (Baker Buck)
What our children have to fear is not the cars on the highways of tomorrow but our own pleasure in calculating the most elegant parameters of their deaths. (Baker Buck)
I think that cars today are almost the exact equivalent of the great Gothic cathedrals: I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object. (Baker Buck)
Driving is a spectacular form of amnesia. Everything is to be discovered, everything to be obliterated. (Baker Buck)

The car has become an article of dress without which we feel uncertain, unclad, and incomplete. (Baker Buck)
The car has become the carapace, the protective and aggressive shell, of urban and suburban man. (Baker Buck)
We are the first nation in the history of the world to go to the poorhouse in an automobile. (Baker Buck)

What I like, or one of the things I like, about motoring is the sense it gives one of lighting accidentally, like a voyager who touches another planet with the tip of his toe, upon scenes which would have gone on, have always gone on, will go on, unrecorded, save for this chance glimpse. Then it seems to me I am allowed to see the heart of the world uncovered for a moment. (Baker Buck)

Cabin and flight attendants no longer have to worry about second-hand smoke, and our technicians no longer have to clean out the tar that builds up in air vents. (Baker Buck)
I am only young once, who cares if I'm a goofball. (Baker Buck)
Oh, man, Phil thought I was in deep s**t after I smashed the windshield driving through a soccer goal, but the next day when it was time to take the rental car back, Rake Yohn thought it would be funny to set the AM radio on fire. Well, the whole car blew the f**k up forty seconds from my house, and the only thing I had to pay was the nine bucks for the extra insurance. (Baker Buck)
Pay nine bucks a day, and you can do whatever the hell you want with a rental car. (Baker Buck)

I had a major motorcycle accident on CHIPs that gave me a 50-50 chance to live. I broke a lot of bones and fractured ribs and broken wrists. (Baker Buck)
I do like the sports cars. (Baker Buck)
My first day was on the Champs-Elysees roundabout, which is about five lanes. That was my first day behind the wheel of a French car. (Baker Buck)
I got out of the car and I said thank you. And he was gone. (Baker Buck)
Once, I took a taxi. I hate those limousines. They stink and their drivers have been driving dead people to the cemeteries. (Baker Buck)
Those assholes! Do you ask a car crash for another take? Do you ask a volcano for another take? Do you ask the storm for another take? (Baker Buck)
I love going out on the track and just flying around, they give you a car and tell you to go-you couldn't ask for more fun. (Baker Buck)
“Hey it's Dan Marino! If I were Dan Marino I'd definitely buy this car. Well, not this car. I'm going to (mess) this car up. But something like it.” (Baker Buck)
