This is a joke, of course. Or is it? There is some debate over whether Tom or Ray at Car Talk seriously credit Sartre with this quotation. Does anyone know if Sartre owned a '61 Dodge Dart? Would it be of any consequence?In my journey to the end of night, I must rely not only on dialectical paths of reason. I must have a good solid automobile, one that eschews the futile trappings of worldly ennui and asks only for basic maintenance. My Dodge Dart offers me this elemental solace, and as interior parts fall off I am struck by the realization of their pointlessness. I might not know if the window is up or down. It is of no consequence.
