use of P/C/A/S and driving

when i am about to get in my car and go for a drive i usually don't think of the technical aspects that go along with driving. so i guess when breaking down driving its mostly going to go towards the science idea of this class. when you are driving if you think about how the car is put together, how it goes from point a to b, how the gas you put in the tank makes the car go when you push the gas pedal, that all goes along with science.

there are some parts of driving that can be considered art or craft, i suppose. when i am driving home from lancaster to harrisburg there are moments when i am doing three or four things at one time. if i am sending a text message, smoking a cigarette, changing the cd all at the same time, i am most definately steering the car with my knee. some people could consider this an art, where as some people could just think it is completely stupid. i'm comfortable with doing it because i know i can, due to practice. this is where craft comes into the picture.

although i feel that art, craft and science can fit into this somehow, i am having trouble finding a way for philosophy to come into the picture.
