It's not a case of 'look at me in my car' it's more, 'look at the car'. I like the idea of other people enjoying them, because everything has become a bit faceless and nobody likes the motor car any more.

Summary

This quote emphasizes a shift in societal values towards material possessions. The speaker suggests that instead of seeking attention or validation for themselves, they find satisfaction in others appreciating their car. They perceive cars as an opportunity to break away from the anonymity and indifference present in modern society. In a world where everything seems impersonal, the speaker longs for a time when people genuinely admired and enjoyed motor cars, as opposed to the current lack of enthusiasm towards them.
