Words That Drive UsCars have a way of bringing out strong opinions, quick wit, and a whole lot of personality. Some people see them as freedom on four wheels, others as rolling headaches, but no one seems short of something clever to say.

His dedication even produced the legendary 911 in 1964.2. “Straight Roads Are For Fast Cars, Turns Are For Fast Drivers.” (Colin McRae)Colin McRae's wisdom about skill on turns versus straight roads resonates with racing fans worldwide.

Anything Before Or After Is Just Waiting.” (Steve McQueen)While playing his role in the 1971 film Le Mans, Steve McQueen delivered this memorable quote about racing's pure essence.
