核心畫面

Picture yourself driving into a wide open lot and then simply not getting out. Whatever you came for is brought to the car, or put up in front of it: food at the window, a huge screen beyond the . The car stops being transport and becomes the seat, the table and the little room you sit in. Every use of drive-in points back to that one move — in with the car, and stay in it.

From the word’s history

The source records drive-in as deverbal from drive in: the place is named after the way you arrive at it.

來源資料寫 drive-in 是由 drive in 直接變成的名詞。也就是說,這個場所的名字就是「你怎麼抵達它」——把車開進去。
