Has muscle gone too Far In 1964 Ford released the first iconic muscle car that changed american life style and revolutionized the automotive industry by introducing new style of cars. Such an iconic part of American History didn’t just emerged from the dark or from a simple idea, like an everyday object, everything has a background and purpose being innovated as time goes on. When someone looks at a muscle car they typically think speed, power, and the massive V8 rumbling sound. Yet no one…

in him at all. All she wanted to do was talk about herself and what she cared about, not what the boy wanted. When they got to the party, they only danced once or twice together, and at the end of the night Sheila went home with another boy in his Corvette. This showed the narrator that she just wanted to be friends (maybe not even that.) Since he made the decision to keep the girl, the fish got away. The boy was haunted by the fact that that bass would have been the biggest fish he had ever…

more splendor items in the future. An example of a short-term sacrifice I could make would be buying a used car with much life left on the engine for a reasonable price, instead of buying a new car that is nice, but not quite as satisfying as the Corvette I have always wanted. All of the short-term sacrifices that would be made would be worth it in the long run, because items that I desire will be possible to be obtained for the benefit of myself, my family, and most prominently for my…

Is possible to increase the speed or power of a car? Or designed it specifically for someone’s particular needs? Modifying vehicles can be beneficial because it can express personality, increase the speed in a vehicle, and even help people who have disabilities to drive. Before modifying cars, people should educate themselves first by figuring out what car is made for them, and the best way to modify it if they would like to experience these benefits. The custom car culture began in the garages…

fair, built on the compact Ford Falcon platform in 1962. The car evolved into a 4-seater and was officially released partway through 1964 as a 1965 model. Ford’s intention with the Mustang was to fill a gap between the average commuter car and the Corvette. The Mustang inspired a new class of cars referred to as “pony cars.” Pony cars were affordable compact cars with sporty styling and an emphasis on performance. It didn’t take long for General Motors to get its Mustang competitors on the road.…

Man is always seeking more power. For over 100 years, the speed and performance of the automobile has drastically improved, but at a high price. Only 45 years ago, high-end cars could barely reach 200 horsepower. Today there are cars with 1000 horsepower, but they come with a one million dollar price tag. Car companies try frantically to make a balance between power and cost. In the persuasive article “Meet the Dodge (rumble, rumble) Hellcat!”, Silvio Calabi appeals to boys of all ages with his…

Over the summer of 2015, I worked for Total Lawn Care, a lawn mowing business out of Little Falls, Minnesota. My job consisted of mowing and trimming our customers’ lawn, as well as blowing off their sidewalk and driveway after. While working, I learned how to deal with various types of people with different attitudes toward their lawn. Some have a good attitude, while others do not, making my job easier at times and harder during others. There are four different types of lawn owners: Nice Old…

The clock ticked with the frequency of every clock in the world. Once every second. Sixty ticks a minute. Three thousand six hundred ticks an hour. Eighty-nine thousand three hundred and two times a day. It seemed like it had ticked awfully close to that number of times as I was sitting there staring at the clock. I have been waiting all day for the clock to hit four. It was finally time. I got up from my chair as fast as I could, grabbed my bag and ran out of the school. It was December 11th;…

I’m Predictably Irrational? Prior to reading this book, I’ve rather smugly thought of myself as quite a rational fellow. Much to my surprise, this book identifies multiple, fascinatingly common situations that are relevant to my daily life to which I believed my responses were rational. Through the lens provided by the author however, my reactions to these situations have been almost unconscious and very much irrational. So the purpose of this paper is to highlight four learning points from the…
