Process Essay: How To Get A New Car

Superior Essays
I have always loved getting a new car. There is nothing like that new car smell. It lasts maybe four months then starts to disappear. I think I would be upset if I bought a new car and it was void of that new car aroma. But as with all fun things in life, the joy of the new car smell as now been destroyed. Come to find out, that wonderful new car smell is caused by release of toxins from plastics and leathers used in making the vehicle. In the past we were aware of possible pollution and chemical hazards of cars and we all knew not to park a car and leave it running in an enclosed place. But who would have thought that the inside of your car could be toxic and bad for your health? It is scary to think that there may be up to 250 pounds of …show more content…
It is absolutely important for you to take some precautions before venturing into the road, so you can live long enough to have another ride. First of all, you have to learn how to drive, which can be done by attending a good driving school, or just placing yourself in the hands of another experienced drive. If you do not want to pay for driving school, then try to find someone that has been on the road for a few years, also it would be good if you feel secure around that person. Also, it is recommendable to check your car regularly to see if everything is in order so you can drive it safely. Remember, driving can be matter of life or death, if you do not have a properly working car. Do not forget to pay for insurance. It is the law and top of that you benefit from it, even if it is, at times, expensive. Also, do not forget to always carry the proper papers to prove you have insurance. This is something that happens a lot, and is worth mentioning. Do not forget to carry your license with you at all times. I have seen lots of people get in trouble for something like that. Do not drink and drive. I know this has been said lots of times, but it is still worth mentioning since lots of people just ignore it. Once again, remember this is a matter of life or death. Always respect the law. Do not run red lights, do not park where you should not, respect the speed limit, just do not break the law and you …show more content…
The crowd went wild, but not in a very nice way. Hundreds of fans thew beer, water bottles, and even toilet paper onto the track as Jeff Gordon performed his burnout. On the cool down lap, Dale Jr. stayed on Jeff's outside as crazy amounts of trash were hurled over the fence from the grandstands onto the track. Seriously, just how dangerous is it to be on the receiving end of beer cans on the track? The short answer is probably not much. You've got sheet metal over your head, and a windshield that won't break. I'm guessing that the fans in the stands are much more likely to be injured by thrown cans of beer and other debris than the drivers are. In all this confusion, I really worry about the fans more than anyone else. Think about it. If you've ever been to an actual Cup race. The fences are high along the wall. They are high for a purpose, which is actually two-fold. First of all the high fences are to keep sheet metal, tires, and other dangerous things from bouncing off of you when a crash happens right in front of you. Second, the fences are there to prevent you, the gentle fan, from bombarding your not so favorite driver with the bomb of your choice. The fences are not high enough to prevent lobbing something over, much like young Army recruits are taught to lob grenades, but they are mostly high enough from allowing you, the bomb thrower, anything

    I've always heard that drivers should practice "defensive driving. " It makes sense, we all know how big a car is and how fast it can go, you can find all of those numbers somewhere on the car itself. We all know someone who has been in an accident, be it minor or major. When cars collide, it can be catastrophic and everyone knows it well. But somehow, at least for me, the idea of it actually all being real didn't happen until I had gotten into an accident where I was forced to deal with the consequences of even a minor collision.…

From 8:45 AM to 2:15 PM, Kaua’i and Kapa’a High Key Clubbers washed and dried cars for donations that went toward the Kiwanis Family.

    Although some people may disagree, I believe that North Americans depend too much on their car to move from one place to another. In today’s world, we constantly hear about different problems tied to the excessive utilization of automobiles such as pollution, much expenses and last, but not the least, disease are increasing due to lack of training. Therefore, I believe that North Americans should leave their cars to home. One of the reason I feel this way is the damage that cars bring to the environment. Lowering the use of this type of transportation can reduce air and noise pollution.…

    Essay On Driving Age

    Most teenage drivers are involved in car crashes every year, and more are killed than in any other age group. Even to this day, 6,000 teens die in accidents annually—more than fifteen a day (Triplett 1). These alarming statistics prove that receiving a driver’s license at the age of sixteen is merely too young. Teenagers are incompetent about being on the road, which increases the chances of putting others at risk because they have not developed a strong level of maturity and experience. The driving age among teens should be increased because facts prove that teenagers cannot handle the physiological and physical challenges that approach them on the road.…

    As the global concern for the environment increases with time, the desire to use cars decreases. People are aware that cars release fumes which, when combined, can be detrimental for the environment, and they want to do something about it. Elisabeth Rosenthal writes in her New York Times article, “In German Suburb, Life Goes on Without Cars”, that up to fifty percent of environmental greenhouse gas pollution comes from the cars driven in American suburbs. In her article, she quotes David Goldberg, an official of Transportation for America, that “All of our [the U.S.A.’s] development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change”. It seems like America, and the rest of the world, is becoming more aware about what…

    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.…

    Does hitting 16 make you a great driver? Well I'm saying that if you more experienced than you will be a better driver than a 18 year old who had just got their licence. “Turning 16 does not instantly make someone a safer driver,” says Peter Kissinger they talk about experience being the main key of being a better driver, if they were to start learning how to drive at 14 and were on the roads by 16 they would be better than a 16 year old who just got their licence because they turn 16. ¨The second study examined crash rates in New Jersey, which has a minimum age of 17 for unsupervised driving and is the only state in the country to have a comprehensive GDL program for all new drivers up to age 21.…
