My First Car
As people grow, they start to do new things, learn new things, and say new things. One of the biggest thing that anyone to everyone will do once they become teenagers is drive. Not every teenager gets the chance to drive at first. Some people don’t get to drive until they are older than twenty-one. Driving in todays’ society is either a necessity or just something people want to do. First time driving can go a few different ways. Some people can be scared, while others can be excited. Different feelings can go through peoples’ mind and body. When I drove first it wasn’t with my first car. This was with my dad’s vehicle. My first car made my driving experience better.
The day that I drove I didn’t expect to not only drive, but to drive a good distance. This was the first ever time I drove a vehicle by myself. Not only did I had to drive this vehicle I had to do it with a truck bed full of stuff that could easily fall out. This made me very nervous, but it also meant that I was now able to drive. This was back when I was sixteen. Never really had any training or experience

it pushed my love to cars even more. I learned how to fix my own cars and maintain every little thing before it goes bad. My Jetta gave me experience that no other cars could. It thought me that small things can make things worse. To keep it from breaking down and never failing on me. I loved my first car and I will never forget it. I still have one of the wheel covers from the car and kept it as memory. I which to one day get a Jetta again to work on it, but then I do also have other cars in mind. I am glad the Jetta was my first car and I’m glad that even though it did not end well it left me with more knowledge about maintaining my vehicles. As of right now I drive a 2011 Nissan Altima, and I worked on this car how I wanted to. For my first car it was not a bad experience I am grateful of the fun and adventures it took me

    I drove my first BMW when I was 20 years old; my boss at the time let me drive his E39 530i home. It was the most amazing thing I had ever drove and decided right then I must have a BMW once I made enough money to afford one. It was fast (to me), handled like it was on rails, quiet, comfortable, and everything a person who loves to drive could really ask for at the time; truly a “the ultimate driving…

    This was what took place on the day I bought my first car. It was a green Ford Focus hatchback, and I loved it every bit of it, even its unnatural green shell. That being said, I despised the fact initially of driving a manual. The learning process was a race against time however, with each stall I was sure my car was losing the little life it still had left in the 12 year old body.…

    Thousands of drivers die every day. Many people say that the most common age group that get in wrecks with vehicles are teens. I believe that the legal driving age should not be changed to 21 because teens develop responsibilities while they drive, they also become more independent allowing them to not have to rely on their parents to drive them everywhere, not changing the legal driving age also allows teens to gain more experience and develop their driving skills so they can transition into the adult world a bit easier. Lastly, allowing teens to drive lets them stay active within the community such as an occupation or an extracurricular activities inside or outside of school.…

    My first car was something that I greatly was looking forward to getting as a child and my interest in getting one grew, as the days got closer to my sixteenth birthday. The first car I owned was a Automatic Black 2004 Ford f-150 truck, which I discovered on a website called Craigslist. It was priced at five thousand nine hundred dollars with only eighty-four thousand miles on it, which in my case was great considering that I could only afford a seven thousand dollar car. The truck came with all manual locks and windows and also had a small amount of hail damage that could really only be seen at a certain angle. But even with reasonable price on the truck I still attempted to negotiate for an even lower price to further my luck.…

    My car is a lot nicer than a stereotypical first car. The interior of Volksy is like the color of the clouds on a rainy day. The seats heat up making it feel like you’re bundled up in bed. When I turn the key to start the car a nice sound occurs which relates to the sound of a Lamborghini slightly revving its engine. The smell of the car is a sweet pinch of vanilla.…
