It was a cold December night shortly after dusk, a likely setting for an event that would prove to be life altering. As fate would have it, this would be the night that I lost the material possession that truly meant the most to me. I would lose the one thing that gave me much pride and joy and excitement. I often think back and liken us to a newlywed couple, for we had only been together for 18 months and were still very much honeymooning. It was a night, a moment, that even now scoffs and mocks me as I travel thither and yonder with her replacement. But she can never be truly replaced and to call my current fix a replacement seems like a sort of blasphemy. I called her my Blue Angel. That's right! She was a brand …show more content…
Being with her gave me a sense of pride and confidence when I needed it most. We would go places just to spend time together and just to be seen together. Oh how I long to hear her sweet voice humming at me with that low rumble from within that I came to know and love. She represented everything I had worked for, everything I wanted to keep working for, and everything I so longed to feel at that point in my life ? mainly power, independence, confidence, and even sex appeal. I was such a stud!
I am thankful for the time we spent together, although short-lived. Due to a head-on collision, we are no longer together. I was not wearing my seatbelt but thanks to her airbags and crumple zones I walked out with scrapes and bruises. She, on the other hand, was not so lucky. She was injured beyond repair and passed on to glory right there on the bank of the ramp to 1-12. She gave her life that I may live - Oh, what love! She's gone but certainly not forgotten. She will live on forever as my Blue Angel in the sky. As is the case with people in these types of situations, there came a point when it was necessary to move on. I didn't want to, but after riding with friends and walking places, I felt that she would understand and perhaps wish for me to move on rather hastily. So as soon as possible, I got back into the ?game" and settled for a metallic silver Ford F-150. We are still together. As stated
While in her arms, I realized that this experience could be life-changing for her, and that I should be supportive of this decision instead of drowning in my own sorrows. I remind myself that even though she won’t be here physically, we can still talk everyday over the phone. Interlocking her hands in mine, I say I love her, and remind her that this isn’t goodbye. We finally let go of each other, and I shuffle back to my car. As I pull out of her driveway, I feel proud of her and myself. Stood in the doorway, she smiles and waves goodbye. Through the windshield, I smile and wave back at her, feeling stronger than
Our issue is that we need a new vehicle because ours was wrecked and the rental car we were given to use after the wreck by the insurance company is about to expire, leaving us no mode of transportation. We are looking into buying a used vehicle from an advertisement in the local paper. We weren’t sure if the vehicle was still available so we have called the owner and inquired. We do not know who we are buying the car from but we are interested in purchasing the Volkswagen Jetta because of the advertisement in our local newspaper. Just from reading the car ad; we deem that the car fits all our needs and we need to get in touch with the owner fast in order to make sure they don’t sell it to someone else.
The dragster car is a race car that is for drag racing, racing that is two or more cars racing for a short distance.

Since the development of the steam engine people had been interested in creating self-powered vehicles, this manifested during the industrial revolution as the train. However, as time went on people became interested in creating a vehicle that wasn’t confined to tracks. The earliest attempts were moderately successful but served little practical purpose. Automobiles first began to truly spread with the invention of the electric motor which created cheaper, more powerful, and safer automobiles. Still the automobile still had numerous problems and were mainly in the hands of the rich. It was the development of the internal combustion engine and the assembly line that was truly able to create a practical vehicle that could be used by all and
My name is Marco Soliman. I’m 18, Egyptian citizen, and I have been in the U.S. for five years. I started liking cars and wanted to know more about them, when I started high school. I started to want to own a car to modify it. I got my first car on my 15th birthday. I was so happy suddenly, a lot of ideas popped in my head on what I want to do to the car. I’m a car fan, I started to like cars a lot that it became, “my favorite thing in life.” Which a lot of people think, that it’s stupid and just a ride. According to “car people” who I’m one of them, a car is not car if it’s stock. Racing and working on cars became my habit. I joined Antioch High School, Automotive Tech. program in 2013, 11th grade. In my Maintains/light Repair class, I mastered working on cars for three years, with the help of my teacher Muhlstadt. I mastered the car repairing, electric, and alignment. One day as I walk out of school heading to my car, and as I got closer there was a big scratch on my front bumper, didn’t feel right at all that time, but I got down to it and started to research for ways to fix the paint, I chose the vinyl wrapping because it was the cheapest. I wrapped the whole bumper and it looked good, and I thought of why I didn’t have that before it would have protected my paint from that day. I had the idea of adding a aluminum layer on the bottom of the vinyl sticker. Adding vinyl wraps to your car will
She tried her best with the hand that she was delt to take care of her children the best that she could. She had a huge heart and would help anyone she could in any way that she could. She was a fighter, in life and when facing death, and taught me to never give up. She was quirky and made me laugh every day. She was my best friend at the end. Now she is an angel watching over me, and I know that she is there. There are signs all the time that make it clear that I am never without her.
Tired of riding around all cramped up in a small car? Considering upgrading to a larger more spacious ride such as a sports utility vehicle (SUV)? If so, there are several points to consider when choosing a sports utility vehicle over a sedan (car). “A sedan car is a four-door vehicle that often seats four to five people,”(Emelda). A sports utility automobile was engineered to be similar to a station wagon but with the framework of a light truck. While similarities between a sedan and SUV are noticeable, the differences are noted in the number of compartments, size, and safety.
Buying a car can be one of the happiest times of a young adult's life, but when they find out the cost of a new car it gets scary. As a young adult, he or she may not be able to buy a brand-new car so they will need to buy a used car. I remember buying my first used car very well, it was About three weeks ago. I was very excited to be able to be my first car, but I quickly noticed that the amount of money that I had saved up was not much. I did not have many options when it came to cars. My parents wanted me to get a safe and reliable car but I went against that and bought my dream car a Ford Mustang GT. It was very hard for me to find a good condition Ford Mustang but with the right resources and help, I was able to buy my dream car.
A..In 1962 BMW introduced the 1500 series and was the start of a completely new model range - a compactly styled, sporty alternative to the spacious luxury saloons. The four-door saloon was the foundation for the "New Class" of BMW automobiles that were as convincing with their sporty driving performance as they were with their availability of space. The BMW 1500 was a medium-size car for the entire family - and a role model for the later vehicles of the 3 Series that was to be equally successful.
“Get into the car!” Shouted one of my scout leaders.It was the day where I lost something big on a big day.So it all started in a car and we were driving to a tournament and I it took long to get there so obviously we were bored all the way. Once I got there I was excited and couldn’t wait but not knowing I lost something. I went into the building where we got our wooden cars but I kept mines to myself. I looked in my backpack but wasn’t there so then went to the nearest phone booth to call home to hurry and bring the car to the tournament but my mom said that she had lost it. When I heard about my car I felt bad for losing my car because it was probably the fastest car I have ever made and now that it’s lost I feel depressed and I was hoping
I could feel the cold brisk air brushing up against my skin as I ventured through the darkness in this vacant parking lot on a dreary Sunday night in November. I could see a car in the distance and began to approach it. The car appeared to be an old rusted out vehicle with extremely tinted windows that were dark like death. As I looked inside the vehicle I noticed that the car was as clean as a crystal. Not a speck of dust could be found on the interior and the floor mats were completely spotless. It was as if the vehicle had never been driven before. I then put my hand on the door and proceeded to step inside of the vehicle. As I did so I felt a sensation through my whole body that made me tingle. It was an unwelcoming sensation as if I was entering a whole new world. As I sat down there's was a smell, a sheer clean smell similar to that of a fresh load of laundry. Goosebumps came about all over my body as adrenaline rushed through my veins. I put my hands on the steering wheel and my mind took me into another dimension. Taking a glance in the rearview mirror I could see a mysterious person approaching the vehicle. As I examined the person I came to the conclusion that this must be the owner of the vehicle. I noticed they were dressed in all black and carrying what seemed to be a grocery bag of some sort. In panic, I got out of the car and looked at what appeared to be a male figure. The man was very masculine and tall. His mere presence was enough to strike fear into
The automobile has had a tremendous impact on society and the environment since its development in the beginning of the 20th century. Today, there are over 500 million motor vehicles on the earth. The automobile's efficiency, style, and performance have changed over the years, but there is one thing that has not - the pollution the automobile generates. Because of the pollution, people find themselves asking whether this technology has helped our society or hurt it. Should the consequences of the automobile be cause to eliminate it? Or should science develop technology to eliminate the pollution caused by the car?
Since I was a child, I have always dreamed I could have a car which belongs to me. I still remembered when I was four years old, my parents gave me a remote control car as my birthday gift. After that day I started to fall in love with cars.
You have agreed to buy a new Subaru from a dealer. The down payment you will need to make on the new car is $9,400, which lets you take out a loan with manageable (but steep) monthly payments. You are low on ready cash, so if you can't come up with the down payment by selling your Volkswagen Jetta, you will have to borrow it at prime plus 5% interest. You are supposed to pick up the Subaru first thing tomorrow morning, so you want to sell the Jetta today.
