Personal Narrative: The Cost Of A Car

The most outstanding moment of my life so far is when i got my first car.It was a cool March morning in Pensacola Florida.I had my drivers test at eight thirty in the morning at the DMV on W street.As i got to the DMV ,we checked in for my appointment we had made.Soon the instructor came out and told me it was my turn.As nervous but as ready as i could be,i followed him out to my car.After he checked to make sure all safety requirement were checked,i began my test.All i could remember was what my parents had told me.¨If you pass your drivers test you will get a car.¨.When i finished my test,i had only missed 9 points.So i went back into the DMV and took my picture for my license.On my way back home my mom said ¨we have something for you.¨.As

During our first run Taylor and I noticed that the car was turning way to the left. So in order to fix this we started our car as far to the right of the track as possible. After our first trials we realized that we needed to fix our string. We needed to cut the string we had attached off of our car and make a new one. When we made a new one me made it a little bit longer than the car and only hot glued it to the hook, not to the frame. Our new string had a loop in the end of it so we could put that on the toothpick. So now we understood that the toothpick did have a real purpose and we couldn’t glue the string to the mousetrap. After we made these changes we ran our car three more times.

And, also I will like for you to start looking for a used-car. I will help you with the down-payment, Insurance, repairs for a year, or so. It helps address your daily needs and makes it more sustainable.

In order to get a car I will persuade my parents buy using ethos. I will do this by giving them several reasons as to why I think I should have my own car. First, I will tell them that if I’m responsible enough to drive I am responsible enough to have my own car and not depend on them when I need to go somewhere. I will also tell them that I will get my driving permit and make sure I pass my driving test the first time, this way they will see how responsible I really am, and make them see how good of a driver I am. I will also make them understand that by having my own car I can drive myself to school and home from school everyday and not have to ask my friends or my friends parents to give me a ride to school.

In conclusion, my 1st car was a bust traveling 9.8 cm/s, my 2nd car did pretty well traveling 35.86 cm/s, but wasn’t built very well and lastly my 3rd car was the most successful, traveling 50.16 cm/s. Over the time that I worked on this project my skills really did advance. In the beginning, I was clueless and now, with the materials, I could make another car in a day. I learned a lot from trial and error.

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

One of the most important events that happened in my life was just recently, and that was buying my second car. This thought process was in the making for quite a while, considering that I was getting tired of taking my silver Hyundai Elantra in the garage every four months for repairs. For that reason, it made sense that it was time for a new car or a used one, I did not care which all I cared about was that it had to be a manual transmission. In addition, the fact that I outright hate going car shopping, I put it off and off until this past January. Since my mom had surgery that month, she was home and could go car shopping for me, well searching on the computer shopping. Since she was doing that, I did not have to worry about it and she knew what I wanted for a car.

I was 27 when arrived into the United States. Lack of English did not permit me working for the place I wanted to. So I decided to do any job to collect enough money for my first car. I have read in the local paper’s advertising section that some ice-cream retail company is looking for the bicycle drivers to drive around the City on the ice-cream container pedal bicycles. It was not hard to get that job even with my beginner’s English.

You may think that my life was going to be like the average guy. The one who gets a job, becomes successful, gets married and has children. Well not this guy. It all started the summer of 2013 when i was in and out of jobs. I was on the verge of getting kicked out of my parents house, mind you I've been living there since birth. I could barely pay my car insurance and my car note in which I had none. That is an insinuation of how broke I was. The traffic tickets where piled up as far as the eye could see. I was in and out of a horrible yet somehow gratifying relationship with a pregnant lady who claimed that even me taking the slightest of breath is and was wrong in her eyes.

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”.

E. B. White once stated “ Everything in life is somewhere else, and you get there in a car.” Since 95 percent of American households have a car, this statement must be factual . Cars provide some of the necessities in life: jobs, convenience, and affordability.

I got my dog almost one year ago. We got him on november second 2014. Me and my sister had begged our parents to get us a dog but they kept saying no. THe day that we ended up getting him my parents just said that we were going camping. They said we were going camping in a cabin a few miles from Bend Oregon.

In December I was leaving my first day of work, when I got into my car I realized that it finally reached the end of its life. I was driving a 2003 Nissan Altima with over 200,000 miles. I was so embarrassed when I had to go back inside and ask my boss for a ride. Not having a car made it very difficult to get to work, school, meetings, and events. I knew that I needed a car immediately. I had enough money saved up to get a $25,000 loan from my banker. When I went to a local car dealership, I walked in and told the salesman that I have exactly $25,000 to spend on a car. We walked around the car lot and I picked a black Lexus with 100,000 miles that was marked for $25,500. I asked if I could get it for $25,000 with tax and title included and he didn’t hesitate to take my offer.

this industry, and so on. Everything began when I was small. Whenever my father was

It was the day before my seventeenth birthday. It was a cool saturday evening in March. My mother woke me up early that day telling me we are going to see my grandparents. My hair was a mess, tangles in my hair from rolling around at night restless trying to find a comfortable sleeping position. I struggled getting out of my warm, comfortable bed that swallowed my body and made it even harder to find motivation to get up. After a while of contemplating if getting out of bed was a good idea, my mom came back in and pulled the warm blanket off my body and yelled,with her restless voice, to get out of bed and start getting ready. When I finally started getting ready and putting on my make up, which is right after I get out of the shower, she came back in and ask if she could pick out my outfit. At first I thought it was weird and then I came up with a conclusion maybe she was doing this because of my birthday or so I can hurry up and we can leave sooner. As I got ready I was telling my parents about my dream car. It has been my dream to have a black beautiful, two door,four wheel drive, V6 engine,with silver rims, and wheels that are big enough to rock crawl in the mountains,for as far back as I can remember.
