Personal Narrative: My Car

Improved Essays
I know of a person, who practically lives in her car. I can shamefully say that I am guilty. I solely rely on my car as I can say I am an extremely busy person with no down-time. Always running around from one place to another with no time to waste. In reality I believe I have an actual explanation for my car being an actual room. Mainly, my car has always been my closet, but lately I managed to turn it into a mini living room.

I have always had a complicated schedule; I've worked odd hours, gone to school and even had two jobs. I remember when I first started college I had a full time job with an odd schedule. Although, my job accommodated my school schedule, that also meant I had to work odd hours. To the point, my car became my closet.

    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.…

    After five hours under Mrs. Gonzalez’s 1997 Plymouth, my hands were so dirty I had to wash them ten times just to see my fingernails again. She was a familiar face around the shop, given that neighborhood thieves had routinely targeted her car. This time, though, they had gone too far. Someone had crawled underneath the car and cut out the valuable catalytic converter, and she couldn’t afford a replacement. When I looked at her and said, “That’ll be $563,” her face turned pale.…

    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…

    A Mustang Life can end in a heartbeat.

    Often, we perform an action or a task without little thought going into it — I have found that if I do this, along with the same task, over and over again, it becomes something I barely even notice. So much so, it may be problematic. For example, I often drive the same route, from a point A to a point B. This route, over a period of time, becomes familiar to me. Sometimes, I drive this route, and drive at my destination realizing I have little to no remembrance of driving.…

    In the back roads behind TV HWY, I was speeding up to 100 mph down a narrow road in which was my car almost lost traction to the road - only to be pressured to carrying out such as a dangerous act of stupidity just to impress my peers how fast my car was. I only just received my recently purchased car about 7 weeks ago, with the satisfaction that I got a car all for myself, the ecstatic joy shocked me to my core. When I first test drove my car, I would not stop smiling as my fond of cars only just fueled my desire to take care of my car. But suddenly when everyone realized I had a brand-new car at the time, they wanted to see how fast the car is, others even wanted to race against me. The most irritating part is that I didn’t want to be pushing…

    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 husband was hunched over the computer again. "Are you looking at car stuff again?" My tone belied a growing lack of interest in browsing the Internet looking for more information about Honda Pilots, the new car we were considering buying. Although initially we had found some reviews and comparisons that were helpful, my husband was insistent that shopping online for prices was going to pay off at the dealers. I was skeptical - "There's no way they are going to come down that much," was my claim!…
