Narrative Essay On My First Car

Improved Essays
My first car was an Isuzu rodeo 1998 my birth year. It was my junior year at Hermitage high school and I had only been driving for a few months. It was a gloomy Friday afternoon and school had just let out for the day, so I walked to my car in the student parking lot then called my best friend Briana who wasn’t at school because she had an early work release but she was off. So I got in my car and called her to see if she wanted hang out, she said yea sure. I drove to her house; she lives like five minutes away from the school near laurel lakes. I get to her house and go in to sit down and talk to her and mom then we decide to go and maybe get something to eat so we walk out her house about to get in the car when we see her stepdad and he says “hey, …show more content…
Briana’s mom, and my family was upset at the girl. I knew it wasn’t completely her fault but it wasn’t mines alone either. There are some factors that seemed like it was her fault for instance I told the police it looked like she was speeding and they said” you can’t tell if she was speeding or not.” but if she wasn’t speeding how could she make my SUV do a complete one-eighty where I was facing the opposite direction with her little car? By the way her whole car is tangled up with the pole totaled. Everyone except the police and the girl had the same logic. The police write up everything, gives me the ticket, I leave with my sister in her car. Briana and her mom leaves; my dad stayed to get the car and while I’m in my sister’s car I started to cry my eyes out. I couldn’t stop I guess I was in shock, or the feel of the car scared me. When it was all said and done I got a ticket for failure to make a left turn and I didn’t disagree, because I failed to do that. I had to go to court and later on found out I had to take a six-hour driving class. That was the first and only car accident I got into so

    On a beautiful clear morning of February the 19th, my mom picked me up from my class at the University of West Georgia, then we went to Waffle House to have a nice breakfast. We left from Waffle House, proceeding down Maple Street, and turned onto South Street and immediately onto Kenner Street. We then turned onto on the merging lane on South Park Street (US Hwy 27) heading south, we immediately halted to a full stop as vehicles moved from the middle lane into the merging lane in front of us, but at that time there were no vehicles behind us. As we waited to enter traffic, a car suddenly struck us from behind which caused the car to jerk violently forward, causing my mother’s chest to hit the steering wheel, and our heads and bodies to whip forward and then back.…

    I went from an exceptional student to one who talks back. Since freshman year Mrs. R had been my favorite teacher, even though I did not have her until I was a junior. She was kind and always there if you needed to take a breather in her class, or simply do whatever you needed to on the computer, if it was your lunch. I've heard students complain about how they did not like her and how annoying she was. However, I couldn't understand why they felt that way about Mrs. R. I never saw her the way they did.…

    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.…
