Barbara: Are you still having trouble with your car?
Dave: Yes! It’s been in the repair shop three times this month. I should get a new car, but I can’t afford to buy one.
Barbara: New cars cost a fortune these days. My brother-in-law just paid $6,000 for his new one. That’s almost half as much as they paid for their house ten years ago.
Dave: But what can you do without a car? We can’t get along without them. We all depend too much on our cars. Some days it seems as though I spend most of my time in mine.
Barbara: I drive my husband to the train and drive the children to school. Then I drive to the store for food and drive the kids home from school. After that it’s time to drive to the railroad station again.
Dave: Remember when drive-in banks were new? Now lots of people watch movies from their cars.
Barbara: And now there are drive-in banks where you can cash a check without going into the bank. And there are mail boxes that you can put letters into without leaving your car.
Dave: And drive-in hamburger places where they hand whole meals to you through your car window.
Barbara: Pretty soon we’ll be able to do our grocery shopping without going into store.
Dave: That’s already happening. In Atlanta, Georgia, there’s a market where you can buy food from your car. You just drive in and give your order and they hand you what you ask for.
Barbara: In some places there are drive-in libraries, churches, and post offices. I’ve even read about a wedding that was performed in a car.
Dave: Where was that?
Barbara: There was an article about it in last night’s paper. There’s town in Texas where you can get married without getting out of your car. I remember the name of the town--Lovelady, Texas.
Dave: Do you mean that the minister marries the couple in their automobile?
Barbara: No, there’s no minister. They aren’t church marriages. The justice of the peace gets into the car to perform tile ceremony.
Dave: There’s a city where the police department has drive-in service. I think it’s Milwaukee, Wisconsin. If you get a parking ticket, you can pay the fine while you sit in your car beside a window of the police station.
Barbara: There are all these conveniences, and people still feel tired at the end of the day.
Dave: People don’t get any exercise. That’s why they get tat.
Barbara: So then they buy expensive machines to give them exercises at home.
Dave: It really doesn’t make sense.
