Details:

Cars and Trucks play a major role in American society. Not only do they serve as a means to get people from one location to another, they often come to represent an extension of one's personality. In fact, car manufacturers rely upon this emotional connection in order to sell more vehicles with more options. But, it is not just the car manufacturers. Cars and trucks feature in a wide range of advertising of products. Many times these products have nothing to do with selling a vehicle.
