The reason I moved to California the first time was to build the Cobra. I thought it was stupid to have a 1918 taxicab engine in what Europeans like to call a performance car when a little American V-8 could do the job better.

I like American cars. And I would do nothing to hurt the U.S. auto industry.

We lived in a farm village, and no one could afford to buy a car or to fly. We were envious. We couldn't afford any toys. I couldn't imagine making a real car.

We could live in a much better society if there was less personal car ownership.

And check this out: If every American had one meat-free day per week, it would be the same as taking eight million cars off American roads in a year.

Drive-in banks were established so most of the cars today could see their real owners.

I don't even like old cars. I'd rather have a goddam horse. A horse is at least human, for God's sake.

It would be nice to live off the land and fix cars.

We don't have milk cows. People have so many stereotypes of people from where I come from - Oklahoma. We don't ride around in covered wagons, either.

In 2010, I sold my car, a Toyota Majester, for just a lakh-and-a-half to be able to feed my horses. It continues to be like a hole, where I put all my money.
