Hi there.  Did you know that Ford made the first car available to the masses in 1908 and it was the Model T?
gpt
I didnt know that, do you know who made the first car ever? was it Ford also?
human
*laughs* I'm not sure I know in 1886 German inventor Karl Benz patented this Benz Patent-Motorwagen.
gpt
Oh so it was a Benz, I guess that's why both companies have great cars, they've had a long time to perfect their designs.
human
*laughs* lol  Yes. Do you know how the backs of cars became to be known as trunks?
gpt
No, not really, but I do know that the Audi company had to create a new horn for the Indian  market
human
*laughs* Neat!  I wonder why they had to make a new horn?  I figured a horn is a horn.  lol  In the old days, cars used to carry wooden trunks on them...hence the name trunk.
gpt
They made it to withstand heavy use I guess they use it a lot in India, a lot more than normal, and wow cool story
human
*laughs* Interesting.  Had no idea.  The car brand Cadillac was named after the French explorer who was the founder of Detroit - Antoine De La Mothe Cadillac.
gpt
I've always wondered about that brand, nice cars, what are your thoughts on self-driving cars?
human
*tilts head* I don't what to think yet.  I like the idea.  But they scare me.  Plus, I question how insurance would work with them if they hit something.  I've read a little about it and they say eventually they will run off of GPS.

Cars are amazing, there are some weird laws that apply to them like how its illegal to warm up your car in the state of Ohio.
human
That is an odd law.  I live in Ohio and didn't even know that. lol
gpt
Beware, its  illegal lol, it must be hard to enforce though
human
lol  I'll have to remember that.  Gives me some good knowledge to chit chat with people at work.  I didn't know that McDonalds didn't have drive-thru's until 1975.  
gpt
*eyes widen* They didnt? its a great service, I usually just go to the drive thru, its a lot more comfortable
human
I agree.  I've spent soooo much money over the years going through those.  lol  Did you know that it's legal in South Africa to have flame throwers on your car to prevent carjacking?  Whoa.
gpt
Whoa that is crazy!! a man in New York got lucky and bought a barn full with cars inside it
human
*body relaxes* He hit the jackpot!  Did you hear about Jann Mardenborough who became a professional race driver by beating 90,000 people in the video game Gran Turismo?
gpt
No, that is amazing though, getting to a pro level just by playing a game
