To own a vehicle for transportation.
文化的背景
In Spain, 'tener coche' is often associated with the brand SEAT, which was the national car manufacturer for decades. Owning a '600' (seiscientos) was a symbol of the Spanish economic miracle in the 60s. In Mexico City, 'tener carro' comes with the 'Hoy No Circula' rule, where you cannot drive your car on certain days to reduce pollution. This makes owning a car a logistical puzzle. Argentines are very passionate about their 'autos'. The phrase 'fierrero' describes someone who loves cars and mechanics. Having a car is a major part of social life and 'asados'. In the US, 'tener carro' is almost mandatory due to the lack of public transit in many states. It is often the first major purchase for immigrants.
