What kind of car do you want, ideally, once you leave school? Why? What realities do you attribute to what is, in effect, little more than a sophisticated piece of steel, plastic, and glass? Where did these realities originate? How free are you to develop your own personally meaningful reality of the car you drive? And does it matter that you might not be as independent or idiosyncratic as you think? If you think cars are important primarily to men, why would this be the case?

Does it suggest that the “reality” of cars is indeed constructed? If not, wouldn’t men and women share the same reality? If the question asked you to consider style and fashion instead of cars, would your answers be the same?
