Personal Narrative: The Five Vehicles In Our Society

Cars
Growing up I had fell in love with cars. I constantly was trying to get my hands on all the hot wheels and remote control cars that I could. I was infatuated with them. There was just something about that sweet sound of a turbocharger making a “swoooosh” noise as it spun super fast, or the loud, deep engine of a hellcat. When the time had come to when I turned 16 and took my drivers test, I was more than ready to be behind the wheel of car. My moment had finally came, I passed my test with ease and got my first car. Although it was a “hand me down” I still loved driving whatever I could. I went through 5 cars, since I have been driving. Most of the cars I got were all older.
This past year I had a 2001 tundra, but back in November that all changed when I decided to get something new. Not just new, but something unique and different. Now I drive a 2014 Hyundai Genesis coupe and I truly feel a passion for cars. As we can see today cars are ever changing in our society. They are constantly being updated every year. They have become faster, more efficient, and built a group of car enthusiasts among us.

For me, it's the feeling of gripping down on the throttle and knowing you will take off. Among me there are many others that I am sure feel the same way. NASCAR is a big deal to some of us, or even just the drag races. Either way cars need to be modified to go faster. The speed is what brings people in. These beasts of cars are what drive people in communities like ours to go out and spend money on events. According to caranddriver.com, Cars such as the 1965 corvette stingray, one of the fastest cars of its day was pushing a 6.2 zero to 60 time. Now today the Z06 corvette with 650 hp can push 3 seconds. Cars are constantly changing to become faster than

    Driving is the best feeling ever. We all do it, or one day we will, most likely in our teen years, but not me. You see, my first swerve was in my early, early ages, back when Dora was your main explorer. I owned the hottest ride on the block, my Barbie Jeep. The Barbie Jeep was a present from my mom on my birthday.…

    When the opportunity arose for me to upgrade in the vehicle department I was overjoyed. From the very beginning I had my mind set on getting a Jeep. At that time I didn’t even care what model it was. As long as it had the Jeep logo and the bank would approve the loan I was all for it, which is how I ended up in the downhill spiral that is my Jeep Patriot.…

    Three years ago, I started out in my first car and Ohio had proven to me that I needed a bigger vehicle. In addition to winter fast approaching, I had the unfortunate luck of hitting two deer in the same week with my car. While the car was in the shop I spent hours reading reviews of bigger vehicles to try to convince my grandpa to let me get one. After countless vehicles that I named there was only one that we agreed on – a Jeep. The next day we went to look at Jeeps at the local dealership I quickly decided on a black two-door Sahara.…

    These cars have way more power and capability then any passenger car would ever need. That’s because many Americans have a big attachment to their cars, especially cars that seem like they can do everything (or at least look cool trying to do it). Many people growing up could not wait to turn 16 years old. They would take their driving test, and they would be legal to drive a car for the first time. This to me was an enormous symbol of freedom, as…

    Without fooling anyone, as soon as the throttle was thrusted down to the floor of this special car it would explode forward with no regard for any life. It did so in such a manner as if Hercules himself was pulling it ever so ferociously. Tremendous handling was an understatement for this car, turns going even a million miles per hour were a cakewalk as well as an insult. No such car should’ve been approved for me to drive due to its striking aggressiveness to that of a lightning bolt. When runners travel a certain distance they run out of energy and start to break down in sweat and need breaks, this was most certainly not the case for my first…
