Solid analysis, Undustrial. I agree that car culture is a fundamentally irrational - or arational - entity. The debate between those who decry the subsidization of public transit at the expense of the supposedly ulta-individualism private auto transport has always particularly frustrated me. Car culture is enormously subsidized, when you calculate the amount of dollars expended in servicing low-density neighborhoods, as well as the construction of the roads themselves. From Nazi Germany to post-WWII America, the extensive network of highways we take for granted - that enable us to feel as though we have penultimate control over our own destiny - were built at enormous expense using public funds.
