Take most people, they're crazy about cars. They worry if they get a little scratch on them, and they're always talking about how many miles they get to a gallon, and if they get a brand-new car already they start thinking about trading it in for one that's even newer.

Attributed: when used following the author's name in the citation of a quotation, it means regarded as belonging to, written or said by, etc.; to regard as characteristic of a person or thing. A quotation cited with an author's name followed by the word attributed was not necessarily said or written by that person but is commonly regarded as the author anyway because it seems to be in their style, something they would or could have said. The main point in cases of this type of attribution is that the citation of the author is either not certain or admittedly incorrect.
