According to career cruising and the Learning Style Test that I took, I learned out that I am a 10% visual learner, a 20% auditory learner, and a 70% tactile learner. With knowing that I am mostly a hands on learner, I have chosen that a Diesel Technician would be a great career choice for me. The main work of line as a diesel tech is always hands on. From my matchmaker/ skills test, a diesel Technician came up as an A+ rating for me. Other A+ ratings that came up too were a Farm equipment…

Diesel mechanics work on anything from transfer trucks to consumer pickup diesel trucks. Most diesel shops will provide a well ventilated area that can often be noisy as well. This type of job requires a lot of attention, therefore the mechanic will work more often than not (U.S.). “The majority…
“Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in a Mercedes” by Lawrence Ferlinghetti is a descriptive poem comparing two different, distinct pairs of people who cross paths with one another on the road. One is a pair of garbage men and the other is an elegant couple, two duos from completely different worlds coming together as equals on the roads of California. Ferlinghetti notes all differences and similarities between the two odds from the brand of car to the length of two of the men’s…

It was a warm quiet night and I was just getting ready to leave my job so that I could go and purchase the thing that I had been wanting for many years. I was really excited while I was walking home although it was dark and the street was very dull. As I got home from my creepy walk, I waited for my friend Sam to come over my house. I had been saving my money for a long period and it was time to buy my first car.…
An Emergency That Brought Out the Best in Me A Gold 2002 Toyota Corolla; that was my first car. I absolutely loved that car; it was the best first car I ever had.

It had great gas millage and the engine was clean and quiet. The car had tinted power windows that all worked, power locks, a working radio, and A\C and heat. The car even had…
My mom bought me a car in March 2017. It was a pearl white 1999 BMW 323I. I loved that car because I got to help pick it out from Craigslist. It was not my mom’s old car like I had before. I drove it home from Van Meter. I flossed the whole way home, swerving in and out of traffic. I was in love with it! Unfortunately, it did not last long and I am heart broken. After one day of driving it hard, my car let me down. It died. I got it started again, but it was hot. I was able to pull into a…

When the car or truck speeds up weight shifts to the rear wheels. The more weight on a tire, the more traction it has. The main reason why is because the more weight there is, the harder the tires push down. In this…

power proved to be successful. Stanley Steamer broke the record when he drove 127mph in 1906. Electric cars were more effective in the cities. They were quiet and reliable. Electric cars were mostly used for urban taxicab. There was also electric fire trucks which drove a moderate speed to get to the destination in 1922. The internal combustion engine dominated because it went longer in distance. The wealthy and adventurous men were the first ones to acquire their own personal automobiles to go…
