In order for YOU to be able to drive a car cross-country, someone in
YOUR civilization must know how to build it, or even if you suppose
that somebody from somewhere brought it to you, you still have to
learn its mechanics if you don't want to take that generous creature with
you in your voyage. In either case, you have to be much more
intelligent then what came across from those extra-terrestrials...
