Too some cars are simply a mode of transportation and nothing more, but to a certain group of people they are seen as more than just a way of getting around, they're your best friend and you’re worst enemy, they make you so happy and so mad, they're not just an object to you they're a way of life and that's what makes the difference between people. In this movie, Eric Bana, a famed movie star from Australia tells the story about his life of him growing up in a small suburb far from the ocean. He always loved cars and everything surrounding them, he fantasized about driving and racing them. Once he was older and has saved up enough to buy something, he gets the opportunity to buy his dream car and he succeeds. He purchases a Ford GT Falcon …show more content…
The author is writing this for those people who also think like him who see a car as more than just something you use but something you love and people who choose to turn the car of their dreams into something they love and pride. This artifact appeal to pathos because in the film after Eric builds his dream car and races it in one of his favorite races the Targa Tasmania Rally, during his 3rd day of racing he loses control and crashes the car off the side of the road and ends up totaling his car he just put all his heart into and couldn't continue the rest of the race and finish which broke his heart because of the fact that it was his dream to race his car there and it was all over. It also appeals to ethos in the way that Eric Bana has been racing and driving ever since he was just old enough to see over the steering wheel. It helps us see how even with all the skill and money put into a car, it really matters on the driver and their ability to control the car to win races and he has been doing it ever since he could and it has proved him to be a great driver. It appeals to logos because of the facts he uses when talking about the car and the specifications of the car for racing and how those features let him be able him to increase his race times and driving abilities. It appeals to Kairos in that when building his car and racing it all falls into a certain time when you have to get a car done in time for that certain race or get that car done in time for a show or the
Often times, an inanimate object can be as important and sometimes more important than the characters of the story. In Louise Erdrich's "The Red Convertible," the car played an equally important role with that of the characters, but for different reasons.
What prompts him to write this essay, is from constantly having to deal with the same types of drivers that cause him to get angry, or rage. He was living in Miami whilst writing this, which is a city of a large population, with lots of traffic. The immediate audience targeted would be other drivers, as reading this would get his points out and maybe they’d stop doing certain things he mentioned. The secondary audience would be future drivers, as they would now know what they should maybe sometimes avoid doing. Like when he mentions “-the aggressive young male whose car has a sound system so powerful and the driver must go faster than the speed of sound at all times-”. Future drivers may read this and think twice about doing it.
design made the car very strong and durable that is one main reason you see many
Andrew Simms, a policy director and head of the Climate Change Program for the New Economics Foundation in England, presents his argument about the impact SUV’s have on our roadways, and the air we breathe. “Would You Buy a Car That Looked like This? “. The title alone gives great insight on what the article is going to be about, (vehicles). “They clog the streets and litter the pages of weekend colour *supplements. Sport utility vehicles or SUV’s have become badges of middle class aspiration” (Simms 542). Simms opening statement not only gives his opinion on how SUV’s are the new trend, but he also paints a picture of what we see every day driving down our roadways. Simms also compares the tobacco industry’s gap between image and reality to that of SUV’s; stating that the cause and consequences of climate change resemble smoking and cancer. Simms comparison between SUV’s and cigarettes shows how dangerous he believes SUV’s are.
After he pays he speeds up in his new car so he can arrive home.
Ask any ten enthusiasts what two cars epitomize the concept of an automotive rivalry and at least nine of them will instantly conclude the Chevrolet or Chevy Camaro and the Ford Mustang, two cars that make up part of a small automotive segment known as Pony Cars. These fire-breathing leviathans of the street snarl with guttural reverberations boastfully announcing their presence with the mere turn of key. For nearly five decades, these mechanical beasts have captured the imagination of the American driver and ignited the most contentious debate in automotive history: Which car reigns supreme? Muscle car buffs waste no time quoting sales figures, vehicle performance, track times, or even mundane statistics like vehicle dimensions or available colors to simply justify their support for one model over the other. As this debate rages on, the makers of these brutes fan the flames through targeted marketing strategies, consumer promotions, pricing strategies, and creative advertising all in effort to win an automotive war the likes of which have never been seen or fought before (Davenport, 2013).
The author then looks back upon the time in his life when her mother decided to drive Hunter Jordan’s old car. However, she didn’t know how to drive, and was generally afraid to get behind the wheel. On that day, she drove crazily on the road, and declared to never drive again. James McBride also reflected on his life up to a teenager, who knew that bad things would occur in the not too distant future if he didn’t change his ways and behavior.
Wilson concludes by explaining the reason the campaign against the car will never end, “critics dislike everything the car stands for and everything society constructs to serve the needs of its occupants” (Wilson 22).
This fearless and tenacious spirit is overwhelming in the concept cars of the space race. They allowed the creators to feel a sense of freedom and positivity about a future that was almost expected once man had set foot on the moon. The automobile was an excellent platform for this experimentation and the artistic results have generated a sense of nostalgia that is accessible to everyone and will continue to do so for many years to come.
Nick describes the season in terms of elements associated with cars. " Already it was deep summer on roadhouse roofs and in front of wayside garages where new red gas-pumps sat in pools of light. "(25). For these people, driving is about the new way of getting around quickly and living life fully. No one is exempt from being touched by the influence of cars.

When we look at the classic Car image, it reminds us of the experiences that surround our daily lives. The Classic Car image is in black and white which reminds us of the picture realities that held sway some decades ago. I do not readily understand all that transpired in the wreck of this car. However, some points are quite easy to note. It shows that the beauty of every vehicle is not just in its outward design but in its safety features. This shot was taken from one of the vehicles parked in the Alaska Car Museum. There are so many stories that surround the cars in this iconic location.
Cars are the ultimate symbol of independence and individualism. They offer more than freedom. No other man made creation but car fulfills a man’s ego. Technology has been the evidence of how cars have evolved for about more than a century now. From a first car packing a single cylinder 958cc, 0.75hp engine to today’s most powerful 8000cc W16, 1300bhp Veyron. We live in such an engineering savvy era where even an increase of few grams in a vehicle’s weight means going back to the drawing board to get unerring dynamic performance. And for these exuberant reasons, mechanical engineering was a mere choice rather than a chance for me.

For Thao, the car is a symbol of his newfound independence. Automoblies are significant representations of the American dream because of “the unrestrained capacity to move,” which became equated early in the American cultural imagination with personal reinvention and self-determination. Those who could control their own movement were deemed self-sufficient, independent agents” (Heitmann & Uhlman). For Thao, he is no longer restrained by the gang to follow his dreams. The last scene in the movie, at 1:50:00, is the true embodiment of the American Dream.
