Owning A Car

The first instance in which, cars symbolize the American Dream is through the character George Wilson. George Wilson owns an old dusty car and is obsessed with the thought of buying a car from Tom Buchanan, an upper class man who has no plan of selling his car to Wilson, who is of a much lower class man. In a certain passage of the novel, Wilson clearly pleads for one of Tom’s cars: "I can't complain," answered

My father grew up during the time of the Khmer Rouge communist regime/ genocide in Cambodia. He came to America with nothing, went to college, got a job, and is now doing well. He and my mom raised us with high expectations and push us and help us in anyway to a better life than what they had. My dad, like Bandit has “showed ‘em”. I will be the second generation in my family to go to college with even greater expectations along with my sister in a couple years. My dad isn’t religious but my mom is and she prays for me everyday, probably multiple times. Like when Bandit is worried about his daughter going to college, my mom’s always worried about me and so it helps her to pray. God is a good source of comfort for her and can help lead to advice and how to deal with the ups and downs of

Prayer is an essential to any kind of religious faith. Over the years and years of believing in a higher power,

Seven years ago, my daughter was a kindergartener at Peridot Lutheran Private Elementary School. Peridot Lutheran taught her the basic Bible stories like how the world was created in 7 days, the story of Noah, Abraham, Moses, and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. During this time, I would show my daughter her baby pictures, photos of families and events since her birth. I also shared with her my husband and I’s wedding photo in which she saw herself in. This puzzled her. Maybe even confused her. She, next, leaned over to me, and whispered “mom, did you have me when you were not married to dad?” Her question through me off guard. I was stunned and did not know

I might not show it and express it at times but every time something goes good I thank god. When things aren’t going how I wanted them to I pray. I pray that God leads me through the best path. If things still don’t go how I expected then I always think to myself that it happened for a reason and then I accept it. In my family, my grandma is my biggest inspiration. She is the one who teaches me how to pray and why you should pray. One thing she explains to me often is that praying is not done only when you’re in need of something. You pray when you want to bless others, thank God and also to just have a conversation with him. Many times I have no clue what I am doing or like other times I just need someone to listen to me, so I talk to him. After I prayed or talked to him I always feel like everything will get better and to never lose hope. I am happy with my faith and who I go to when I am not in the best

“You can have any color as long as it’s black”. This was an iconic quote from Henry Ford about his creation of the Model T. Although the Model T was not the first car created, it revolutionized all of America. The Model T was marketed to the middle class, it increased the productivity of the work force as well as the economy, and its design made it the most reliable car of its time. I would like to address that the dream of owning a car in the early 19th century, became a reality for the middle class. There were numerous cars before the creation of the Model T, but only the rich could afford them.

The one thing I did gain from owning a car was independence, but not as I expected it. It was sort of like a slap in the face. It was nice having a car of my own, but I had to work twice the amount and live up to all the responsibilities that came with it. I had to keep my job in order to pay for my insurance and pass all my classes my junior year of high school. After all, my experience of my first car served as a life long

First off, it’s not the size I wanted like I said before. Insurance would be through the roof on this car. The horsepower on this car, I am going to be in high school when I have this car so age is definitely going to be a factor, the price of this car is expensive so I have to have everything insured on it. Back to the price, the price tag of this car is almost seventy-three thousand dollars. I am paying for this car myself, no help from my parents. I am going to work my butt off for this car. Paying for insurance, and the car payment alone is going to be expensive. Not even talking about maintenance or gas but everything is just expensive. That’s why I have to start early and save up for this car. My parents say it’s not possible, even I think that sometimes but I have to at least try. A car is a representation of yourself, I don’t want to shoot low or drive something not worth driving. As they say these days “you only live

Karl Benz invented the first automobile in 1866; it has changed the world in how we commute every day. From riding in carriages to now cutting our time travel whether it is riding a bus or our on car. It has become more of a necessity in today's world to have a car because its something that we choose to have in our daily life that it is a choice that is high on the priority list to own. As to wealthier people the type of car you drive puts in a different class. Where some get the choice of car that they want others have a certain budget on what to look for. The way an automobile symbolizes today, changed in society, and how a car has become a collection.

At the age of 17 all I could think about was having a car. However, I understood that owning a car, I would be required to have a job. This would allow me to pay for insurance, gas and maintenance issues. I also understood buying a car required me to have a driver license. After taking all the necessary steps to purchase my first car. The very first car I bought was a “lemon”.

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.

Vehicles are a part of a person’s everyday life these days. You see them everywhere, no matter if it’s a big city, or a little country town. People use cars to travel to all sorts of places, whether it is a school or work. We push our vehicles to the maximum so they seem to wear out really fast. It seems like every five to six years you have to purchase a new one. People have so many causes to by a new car these days but owning a car also comes with a lot of effects. New cars come with a lot of benefits like reliability and warranties. The biggest downfall with buying that brand-new car is the car payment and that expensive car insurance. A new car might look good, and you might get more attention, but you pay for that attention. You must ask yourself is the cost worth the award?

Having been a Christian for many years I thought that I had a fair knowledge of what it meant to pray. I was amazed and humbled by the idea that through Jesus’ restorative act on the cross I am able to come into God’s presence - and not only come but be welcomed and even longed for. I believed that prayer is a powerful tool to petition God , a vehicle to praise Him , and an instrument to increase our intimacy with Him . I understood that people pray in a variety of ways, based on the teaching they have received, their experience, and even their personality. Most commonly, I engaged in prayer as a conversation with God.

Whether it’s a lifted truck running a hemi or a suped up WRX, your dream car embodies what you desire, the life you’d like to live, and the kind of person you’d like to be. Your real car embodies what you have, the life you live, and the kind of person you are.

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.
