Cars, one

 
 
 
 
 
The car has been one of the most important facets of modern life. Throughout the world, people use cars to get to work, transport goods, and for enjoyment.

Before the advent of cars people generally walked or rode horses when traveling. But this was slow and the distance covered limited. Wherever they have been introduced, cars have dramatically changed people’s way of life.
