The first thing that needs to be known about this car is that it is not my car it is my dad's car that he lets me use. If I ever refer to it as my car he looks at me and asks whose car is it. Since I can not call this car my car I figured I would give it a name. My dad's name is Christopher, he goes by Chris. Since he always reminds me that it is his car not mine my sisters and I named the car Topher, the last part of my dads name. Topher is a 2005 Honda Accord with about one hundred thousand miles on it, although it is not a super old car it has been through a lot. One of Topher's many quirks is that his fabric roof lining sags, so as any innovative thinker would do we stapled it back up. Another lovely feature is that the drivers side keyhole

    The car is in good shape just in need of a wash, wax, and a detail. Most of all though it needs a motor tune up and a new set of tires that don 't go flat in two days. That day they were working on the motor installing some new pumps and a new transmission that he had been given for christmas. My brother is helping him learning how to do things because he wants to be a mechanic someday. The boys are covered in gas and oil from head to toe but they are at least getting stuff done so we can drive the car to take my senior pictures in a few weeks.

My favorite is when he was telling me about the old days when he would race his car against his buddies. The guys had the gas pump pulled off of the

  • My First Car - Original Writing

    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 cost you $200 - $300. Yes it is cheap because when your car gets scratched the paint gets peeled it will cost at least $900 for a cheap repair and it will still not be as good as the stock paint. Vinyl wrapping is not too hard to install or remove the install process will take you from 4 – 6 hours, and you can do it yourself....
