Drive-in cinemas and burger joints were all the rage in the 1950's, they're nearly extinct now though. Of course there's the drivethroughs like McDonalds everywhere but I imagine those must be in the UK as well. I think I read somewhere that the average American drives 20k miles a year, some people like my dad for example drive much more than that because of a long commute to work. Generally when you see cars with extremely high mileage they've belonged to a travelling salesman or someone who does a great deal of business travel to destinations too close for flying to be economical but far enough to really rack up the miles.
