The Importance Of A Car

Riding dirt roads is enjoyable, up until you flip your car. Joy riding is relaxing and peaceful. It makes time to just drift away. Car accidents are not fun for anyone, unless it is in a movie. In movies when you flip a car it is in slow motion, from my experience I can say that is completely true. It is in slow motion while it is happening and then time speeds up after the initial impact.

My best friend could have died because of my wreck less driving. I have lost a few friends due to car accidents and it is impossibly miserable to live with. The emotional stress you have to deal with because of a loss of a friend is hard to get over. I could not live with myself if I would have killed her.

Appreciating life has made me more caring for others because of the
