The "Automobile" magazine published a series of humorous pictures "Drivers of Different Nationalities" in 1913: a German, as stiff as a poker, drove a car carefully and assuredly; an American looked like a cowboy; a Frenchman could drive only with the beloved next to him. In "Punch" one could see a picture of a car with a great number of torches attached to it: it was a peculiar comeback to the attempt of "General Motors" to attract more customers by increasing a number of head-lights.

Caricaturists present cars in different ways: "a kind an tender animal", a wild unfriendly beast, a bull, a cow in herd, or a coffin on wheels. It has become quite obvious, the older the car is, the more people love it. An annual parade of cars-veterans is held in Odessa on April, 1. "Loren-Dietrich" ("Antilopa-Gnu" from the well-known novel "Golden Calf" by I. Ilf and E. Petrov.) heads this parade. By the way, Americans do not laugh at their automobiles, because automobiles have become one of their state symbols, an American pet.

R.Goldberg invented a special appliance to punish a tiresome passenger; the Russians give nicknames to cars ( "a can"), or "invent" an automobile with its own highway; Yakub supposes that a car can be somebody's head; D. Maistrenko turns it into a sandwich or a sofa, or a centaur with a motor; A. Podulko's character turns a car into a push-cycle; B. Antonovsky's character dreams of making lighters out of his car.

Another hobby is to colour one's pet to make people envy. S. Dali installed a big woman's statue on the radiator of his car. Nowadays this car is displayed in his museum. D. Orberg decorated his car with the sculpture of Marilyn Monroe. For his 60th birthday Mickey Mouse got a 14-metre limousine-museum specially produced by Disney studio.
