Do you remember how you came across your first vehicle? How was your experience? Having a vehicle comes with many responsibilities and expenses. I will never forget how I meet my first car. One fine morning, I wake up to a rapture blue sky. It is high and bright, a continuum of delight that salves both spirit and soul. The glory of regrowth, renewal and rejuvenation of new life being born. The grass becomes wonderland green and the flowers wave at the delightful blue sky. If I could only stay and stare at the beauty of life coming to my eyes. Truth is, my dad impatiently honks his vehicle and pressures me to hurry up because it was time for school. I enter the car; I got no choice. I have to listen to the hard rock melodies in the background, and his awkwardly one on one conversations with the radio. On my way to school every day. How I wish a day will come and I had my vehicle. A vehicle where I can have my mobility and independence. Everything feels right a senior in high school, a driver license owner, an outstanding student, and a beloved daughter. Having a first car is a surprise for anyone in general, although it could be glamorous at times yet costly. …show more content…
Heading out the door, I look up and there it was a vehicle. A 2000 Toyota Camry positioned like a statue, as if turned to stone. Confused, I was and have stared profoundly at its glory. At that time, many questions came into my head. What is a vehicle doing outside my house? Whom is it for? When did it arrive? I was not thinking straight, so I start screaming and shouting from the top of my lungs. Considering this beauty was mine. What a surprise? My father standing next to the vehicle hands me the keys and says you deserve it for your hard work and dedication. I am amazed finally the time has arrived, my own
I love riding four wheelers. I also love to adventure so I guess you could say my character trait is being adventurous. I’ve been riding my whole life, you think I’m kidding but my mom even rode four wheelers when she was pregnant with me so yeah. I got my very first four wheeler when I was three and I rode it till I was nine, but then I wanted to ride with the big boys or girls or whatever. When I was ten I got Yamaha blaster two hundred. It was my first manual transmission four wheeler. It was also a fixer upper, so I restored it to original condition and learned valuable knowledge along the way. So now I know a lot about four wheelers. When I got done fixing it it was a lot better than before. So I figured I was ready to learn how ride a
A gust of air audibly exited my lungs as I opened the creaky door of my mother’s beat up four door car. Charley didn’t have the same spring in his step that was present in his youth, but he did his best to run over and hop in. I wish he didn’t try so hard. My heart sank as he made vain attempts at pulling himself into the vehicle. I bent down and gave him a little assistance. He was quick to turn around and look at me anxiously. He never felt comfortable if I wasn’t sitting with him. I took my place in the back seat and slowly closed the door.
If you have never taught a little girl how to drive, then be prepared for the ride of your life. I love my little cousin, but she made this day the most interesting, hard, and annoying ever. Teaching her involved one wreck, and one long lecture from our grandparents. Even though driving a side-by-side is very exciting, my little cousin made it the worst thing in the world.
This is it, the day it all comes to fruition. Saturday night, right around dinner time, my dad and I set out to meet a man to look at what could potentially become my first truck. We had been interested in the truck for quite some time, and today was the day we decided to make an offer. It was quite a lengthy drive in my dad’s old beat up Chevy, but I knew that it would be worth it. Finally, we arrive at our destination, and things couldn’t have worked out any better.
About a year and a half ago I found myself in the market for a car. I had moved from Baltimore to Austin car less. In Texas, I found it to be extremely difficult to get around without a car. This brought me to the purchase of a 2005 Toyota Corolla.
Every parent believes giving their teenagers a small, cheap, fuel-efficient, long-lasting vehicle is the best way to start their driving path. However, everyone is different and should be treated differently when giving them their first car on their sixteenth birthday. Some teenagers prefer dashing and speedy vehicles, among these, include the Lamborghini Aventador, and the Porsche 911 Turbo S. However, the Tesla Model S P100DL, is the perfect first car for a teenager. Its variety of features and advanced technology allows it to be a perfect car.
Being able to drive and purchase a car should already make you feel like a lucky person. There are several people who don't have the chance or the money to even get a driver's license. So, once you have a car, make sure you take care of it properly. One way you can take care of your vehicle appropriately is by getting coverage for it. Getting insurance may be expensive, but the good thing is that there are many companies that offer various car insurance quotes to choose from.
It was finally time. We pulled up to the building and it was huge. As my parents and I stepped out of the car, I could hear the country music from there. A smile lit up my face as we began walking toward the famous opry house. As we headed towards the gift shop, a security officer stopped us.
June 13, 2011 was a surprising change that none of us expected As a 9 year old girl, I didn’t know whether I would have the chance to own and grow up with an animal that I could care for and spend time with, besides a fish. Me, my siblings, and my mom had always wanted one, however, specifically a dog. It was oftenly discussed at the dinner table while all of us would try to convince my dad, but it seemed as if it always went right through him. By getting the same few negative responses over and over again, we thought the days wouldnt’t come with us walking in the door after school, seeing a fluffy, lovable dog running up to us to greet us. We didn’t think we would have those moments at night where we would feel our dog laying next to us and even get annoyed by hearing loud barks during the day.
I have been in my car since 10 a.m. It is currently 12 p.m. and I have endured the chilly morning and now the blazing sun. I hang a long, blue blanket from the windows with the intent to block the bright sunlight out. I get frustrated with the heat
When I was younger I always wonder, when was I going to get my first car? I remember my friends from high school having there on car and I was the only one without a car. I ask my friends to take me to school because I didn’t wanted to ride the bus. The bus was kind of a long ride and I thought it wasn’t cool enough.
We all dream in the day we get to purchase our first vehicle. The day we stop asking our parents to take us here and there. Some may say buying a vehicle is a pain in the you know what. It can seem like a stressful situation if you're not familiar with the process. However, working in the car industry has taught me valuable tips and tricks that will help me teach you to save money when car buying.
I lived with my father for my entire life, but due to his work I did not spend much time with him. My father worked at a different city; and thus he comes home only a few times a month. My father is a mechanic. He works at a company that is distant from our home. This was due to the company being the only one and the first where cars were being assembled in Ethiopia. Sometimes on the weekends I used to go to his work place. He would give me a trip of the place; the station was filled with vehicles, trucks, and motorcycles. It was separated by sections. In each section there were only one type of vehicle and the assembly process was shown step by step. From a fuse to large engine of the car, components were getting attached.
Finally it passed through the other side followed by an eerie screeching sound. The dreadful sound was emanating from the dry rotted tires that were rubbing against the rails. After the car emerged from the exit of the car wash, it was then wiped dry by the co-workers of the car wash. Watching the employee’s wipe the car I could hear the boy my age say, “I feel bad for who ever owns that car”. The car was fully washed and ready to go as one of the staff members approached the benched and asked which one of us the owner of the vehicle. Again the muttered another comment, “sure isn’t mine”. The comment from the boy made me hesitant, but for a moment I realized the only person I was fooling was myself. So I picked myself up and as I was about to leave, the man in his mid forties stated to me “it could have been worse, my first car barely ran”. With that comment I was a little more encouraged to get into the car and leave with some dignity.
With convenience comes cost. There are many costs associated with owning a car. Firstly learning to drive can be prohibitive, with lessons often out of a lot of peoples budgets. Once you have passed your test buying a car can also prove expensive. It is often the case we have to buy cheap second hand cars as new cars are very expensive. Sometimes this is fine and you can have a reliable car, but other times you pick one up that’s not been well maintained and can cost you a fortune in repairs and keeping it on the road.
