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. If you have never taught a little girl how to drive, then be prepared for the ride of your life. To some people, dealing with little kids is easy, but this day will make them change their minds. It all started out on one hot, summer day in August. Me and my little cousin were sitting inside, and we decided to go outside to swim. Well, we swam for about an hour, so we got …show more content…
She went so fast that she lost control and hit a tree! I got out, and pulled her out of the ranger. Luckily, she wasn’t hurt or injured, but the side-by-side wasn’t coming off that tree very easy. So after she and I had realized what we had done, and how much trouble we would be in, we made the call to my grandpa. We didn’t tell him how bad it was, we just told him that we had a wreck and to come very quickly. When he got there, he was worried, then he got mad. He was very angry. Me and my little cousin got in the truck with him, and we went back to his house to get the supplies needed to get it off the tree. My little cousin stayed at the house, while me and my grandpa loaded it up and brought it back home. The whole thing happened in silence. He didn’t talk to us until we got home. He sat down with my little cousin and I and gave us a talk. It was about how he was disappointed in us, that we aren’t allowed to drive it anymore, and how we had to help him fix the front of the side-by-side. In conclusion, this day was by far the most interesting I’ve had. My little cousin and I fixed it, and we are allowed to drive it now. I have taught her how to properly drive, and she is great at it now. This was about the time I taught my little cousin how to drive a side-by-side, I hope you have learned from my
take a ride, okay?” and with her patience I’ve learned that although there are moments you feel
Stepping into a minivan for the first time was like looking over the edge of the Grand Canyon. Unlike sports cars that sit only inches off the ground, here I was sitting so high I felt as if I would get a bloody nose. Since I had brought the baby with me on this excursion, I had to move the car seat to the van. I was amazed with the easy access to the back seats made possible by the rear sliding doors. It was a sharp contrast to the bending, stooping and twisting it took to get the baby, and the car seat, into and out of the back seat of my sports car. Score one for the minivan. ...
Nothing feels better than being able to have your own car to take you to places, instead of always depending on someone to take you around in theirs. But when it comes to driving a long distance, my mom gets frightened . I remember I was in my room with my ear to the door trying to decipher what my mom and her boyfriend were discussing about in the living room. There were murmurs, something about “don’t go to work”, “take us”, and “few days.” Then a deep voice came into distance “no”, “no”, “I can’t” then I heard heavy footsteps and a door slam hard. I figured out that meant her boyfriend wasn’t going to take us to Tennessee. I contemplated a bit and finally, it came to mind that the woman who lives two houses down always knows somebody, who knows somebody, that can help with
While we were going down, he slammed on the brakes and we staying almost upside down for almost a minute. When he finally let off the brakes we slammed into giant pothole that racked the whole entire car. We were all really jostled up but the car took it in stride. After we experienced all of these really enjoyable adventures we went to go see old cars from the start of automobile history. We saw extremely old and unique cars that you couldn’t see anywhere else.
I got my first car on June 7th of this year from a private car dealer after searching for months. I had my fair share of cars that I saw that where piles of crap said to be in great condition, thanks to desperate car owners. Though in the end I got a car that I wanted and in great condition. Would I ever go through the craigslist hunt again? Maybe if the need for another car presented itself.
The reason we picked the month of October to go on our road trip was because Annie’s parents were in Germany visiting her sister. If her parents were home then they would not of allowed us to go to North Carolina. Annie called her parents and told them that we were going camping for the weekend. They said Annie could go and to call them when we got to the camp site. Annie’s parents did not trust her, so of course we had to lie a little bit. My mom, on the other hand, was a pretty understanding person so we told her where we were really going. She said that it was okay for us to go, but she did not want me to take my car. I told her that we were taking Annie’s parents Cadillac, but we really did not because they would notice the mileage. Our first choice of a car was Annie’s Volkswage...
I was then given a limit on what hours I am allowed to drive and was told I would not have a vehicle for a while since I was not yet 18 years old yet which meant I could not legally drive a rental car while the Camaro got put in the shop. My father explained to me how lucky I was that my car did not flip due to the short, stubby posts that I collided with. As we both expressed our thankfulness, Hannah pulled up to the scene. Dad was relieved to see her there to comfort me and allowed me to stay with Hannah overnight and encouraged me to try my best to get a decent amount of sleep. My dad exchanged my destroyed tire with my spare and somehow managed to force the car to be drivable enough to make it to my house about three miles away.
It was a gorgeous day out today all the birds were chirping and the kids were running and screaming. I was ready to go home and ride the mini bike, we only had a hour and a half left of school. I just had one more recess and I also had one more class to go to. I talked to my dad about it last night, he said I could ride It all by myself today. I was so ready to ride by myself, I was gonna go really fast and hit that huge dirt mount!
The Beginning Although I am still young, and my driving experience could be considered limited, I have still had experiences with a number of cars. The first car I ever had was my grandmother’s. The second was a Saturn Vue, the third was a Mazda 3, and my most recent was another Saturn Vue. It may seem like a lot, but there’s quite a timeline detailing when and why I changed cars. My grandmother’s car was a 1992 Dodge Dynasty.
Eleven years ago, during a cold fall in October, something that would be special to me was purchased. A gray, Honda Odyssey was bought. This car was like another brother to me and my younger brother and another son for my parents. We’ve been driving this car ever since I was still a young child. It felt very important to me and I had no intention of ever letting it go.
I took a deep breath and turned on the car my hands were shaking on the wheel it was my first time driving so I was just panicking in my head. My words just came out of my mouth and told my driving instructor in a scared voice “ I don't know know how to drive” he just replied in a calm voice “ Its okay we have a emergency brake I can control”. He pointed at it
I got out of the car and told my dad that he could drive
Driving is a very important thing you should take serious at all times when behind the wheel. Learning to drive is the least hardest part about “driving”. When going through the process of getting your permit/driver’s license you might get frustrated only because there’s so much things you have to learn before even getting to drive an actual car with a professional instructor in the passenger seat grading your every move. When behind a wheel you take the responsibility of managing your life, others in the car, outside the car, and other moving vehicles around you. So yeah it’s a hard task to accomplish but only the strong survives. Driving is both fun and serious so don’t take it as a joke. Nothing positive will come out of the situation. Driving should stay age-based because aren’t mature enough , immature people leads to trauma, it just wouldn’t be a safe environment , and we all need transportation.
We had a rotation of who was going to drive and who rides in the back. Makenize showed us the track that she rides on the golf cart, but it was pretty much irrelevant to Abi and I. Who rides in the same pattern every time on a golf cart? Abi in my opinion is the wildest driver then me and then Makenzie. Abi was driving at full speed pretty much the whole time and ran over a fence post, but she will deny that she did every time you ask her. Abi also could not back up the hill and we spent ten minutes trying to get back up the road desperately. We were driving down the road and Abi was at the wheel and got stuck at the neighbor's house and they were just sitting there watching us inexperienced drivers trying to maneuver Daisy
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.
