automobile has changed the lives, culture, and economy of the people and nations that manufacture and demand them. Ever since the late 1800s when the first “modern” car was invented by Benz and Daimler in Germany, the industry has grown into a billion dollar industry affecting so many aspects of our lives. There are more than 400 million passenger cars alone on the roads today.

Cars One of the most important steps in becoming an adult is your first car. When you have a car, you don’t need to rely on other people for rides to and from where you want to go. You also learn a great deal, thus making you a more responsible person. I live in Putney, a small town in southeastern Vermont, but I worked and went to school in Brattleboro. Brattleboro is a slightly larger town about a half an hour south of Putney. Since we had to keep stopping to pick up kids, the bus ride
Muscle cars have always been a big in the United States such as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, and Chevrolet Corvette.

These two types of car lovers have a strong dislike for each other and these
“That is going to be my car one day”. Stickers are the main characters in import car shows. You can always get stickers of anything and about anything if your car is great, as any import car owner hopes it to be. To have millions of people admire your car as much as you do, your car will need to be unique by using manufacture logos. The manufacture owner then gives you their logos, turbo chargers, leather seats, exhaust systems, and so on. It is obvious that import cars are more for looks then speed
Car Statistics Coursework I am trying to work out what factor makes a car decrease in value the most. I have chosen a large sample of cars which have had a service history and erased some of the factors that I think I will not need. The factors I am not using are make and model, colour, engine size, fuel, MOT, tax, insurance, doors, style, seats, air conditioning, gearbox and airbags. I have also got rid of the cars that do not have all of the sufficient information. I am using how
A World Without Cars James Q. Wilson the author of the article "Cars and Their Enemies" briefly ponders the possibility of our world without personal automobiles. He speculates whether our current society would welcome the invention of the personal automobile into a fictitious world without cars. Wilson immediately answers no.

The Pioneers and Cars With the popularity of movies like The Fast and the Furious and its sequel Too Fast Too Furious, import car culture has now become mainstream.

Car culture runs deeply in California
The issue of electric car has been arising nowadays. But many of us never really find a true example of the uses of electric cars in everyday life.

I bet you didn't know that the first cars made were all mostly electric. But as time passed gas powered cars became more popular through the years. There were few if any electric cars available as timed moved on. Everyone believed that gas powered vehicles were more convenient than the electric powered ones. I believe that gas powered vehicles are better because gas powered cars have more function ability. The range that electric vehicles have is poor compared to gas vehicles. Electric vehicles don't
Cars in America are almost a way of living now. The car a person owns shows the world what kind of person they are. Most of those cars are ten of the major car companies that dominate the car market. There are over 250 million cars on the road in America. Five of those ten car brands are American brands. More people should buy American cars because of the incredible safety and reliability, distinct style, equal or better fuel economy, and the support of American jobs. American cars are built stronger

The third dealership that I visited was Foreign Motor West, which is an average size dealership that specializes in selling BMWs. Upon arriving

Car crash forces and car safety are important things to understand when driving. Using Newton's laws of motion, how does a car crash happen scientifically? Besides looking at safety features your car has, to prevent you from getting in a crash such as car cameras, horns, and GPS, what other forces in the car prevent you from getting injured? After participating in many labs dealing with how the force works and reading an article called, “Car Safety” I found some answers to those questions. Forces
The Future Car To this day I still remember the first time I saw an electric car. I remember coming home to my mother and telling her that I saw a car that runs on no gas. My mom, being the classic uneducated woman looks at me and said “what movie did you get that from”, I laughed as I searched it on my phone, and showed her the different models of electric cars.

How to Change the Oil in your Car For many people changing your oil is hard and confusing. The average american will change their oil about every six months or 7,000-10,000 miles. If your car has less than 100,000 miles you can put in non-synthetic oil, but with non-synthetic oil you’ll have to change it every 4,500 to 6,000 miles and non synthetic is cheaper. If your car has more than 100,000 miles it is recommended to put in full synthetic oil. It is more expensive but it runs better in engines

Historical events and societal changes have influenced the production of muscle cars, and in turn they have changed the car industry by researching and developing speed technology
