Decent Essays
It was Wednesday afternoon at 13:45 when I walked in to a dealership to bought a car. I could not imagine the joy I felt when I drove off the garage, words couldn’t have expressed it. All the thought I had in the past of someday owning a car started rang in my mind, I could not believe it. However, these thought of; how am I going to get money to buy car, and if I did can I keep it clean, which places do I have to visit, is it going to be I alone or with some friends, do I have to constantly give rides to meet new people, how would my peers think differently about me. It was like illusion to me when I stopped and sat awhile in my first car, but it was happening for real.

    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.…

    When I ride it's like the earth stops at every corner so I can check to make sure a, loud, car isn't roaring towards me. It's like that feeling in your chest that tells you that everything is going to be ok, yet your mind is screaming at you that it won't be. I ride because I was thought that you need to be active in life, but it was never about the one hour of activity time we are supposed to have growing up. it was much more than that. I didn't need help to ride, I needed help to face down my enemies, or conquer my dreams.…

    One problem with my car is that it looks terrible. The once-shiny paint is now dull and bleached from road salt, there are patches of rust around the wheel wells and fenders. There is a dent in the passenger door that someone left while I was grocery shopping last year, and ever since another student hit my car in the school parking lot, the trunk latch has not worked, and I have had to tie it down with a cord. Furthermore, the interior of my car is no better than the exterior. The carpet is stained from years of carrying around two kids and a dog, and the upholstery is torn in several places.…

    I should be used to the fact that my luck with cars has been passed down to me from my dad. We have had horrible luck with vehicles! I am kind of wondering when this run of bad vehicles will end for me? My recent vehicle has been in and out of the shop since I bought it a year and a half ago, so have not owned it for too long and it already gives me a headache when I think about it. I got the car all on my own…

When I drive my mindset is different, I think about the people on the road driving and the importance of their life. I think about how they have families and people who love them. They’re not just cars on the roads to me, they’re people.…

    Lease or Own A Car Buying a car and not taking a lease car was the first decision I had to make when I arrived in Michigan. When I arrived in Michigan, I realized that the way of transportations is very limited. I could not get to a bus or taxi in an easy way especially when I didn’t have a bank account at that time. If I needed to go to a certain place, I had to ask people to help me get there. Most people were not able to offer me a ride due to work.…

    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.…

    Being part of the generation who grew up watching Fast and the Furious films has always made me want to drive a car. At that time I knew I still had a while before I could drive, but any chance I got to be in the driver seat I would. My first time I ever got behind the wheel was right after I watch the fast and the furious in 2001. It was during the summer, my mom was washing her car and according to her “I accidently locked myself inside and somehow I managed to turn the car on and started backing up the car.” My mom was so scared she started yelling “put the car on park” “put the car on park” but I had no clue what she meant.…
