Culture
The bench seat--as well as some other older car features--are celebrated in the song Stickshifts and Safety Belts by Cake. The bench seat, steering column mounted shifter, and lack of seat belts are praised, as this allows a loved one to sit in contact with the driver. However, most modern bench seats do provide seat belts for all occupants.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“Our culture still holds mothers almost exclusively responsible when things go wrong with the kids. Sensing this ultimate accountability, women are understandably reluctant to give up control or veto power. If the finger of blame was eventually going to point in your direction, wouldnt you be?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“The purpose of education is to keep a culture from being drowned in senseless repetitions, each of which claims to offer a new insight.”
—Harold Rosenberg (19061978)
“Without metaphor the handling of general concepts such as culture and civilization becomes impossible, and that of disease and disorder is the obvious one for the case in point. Is not crisis itself a concept we owe to Hippocrates? In the social and cultural domain no metaphor is more apt than the pathological one.”
—Johan Huizinga (18721945)
