Recommended: Advantages of owning a car

When I was younger I always wonder, when was I going to get my first car? I remember my friends from high school having there on car and I was the only one without a car. I ask my friends to take me to school because I didn’t wanted to ride the bus. The bus was kind of a long ride and I thought it wasn’t cool enough. My brother had two cars but he didn’t wanted me to drive it. I think the reason was because I didn’t had a license. Ones I turn seventeen in high school, I took driver ed. All I knew was that I was going to have a license but no car. Getting my license was the happiest day of my life. After getting my license my mother would let me borrow the car sometimes.

  • Personal Narrative-It's Time To Purchase My First Car

    646 Words  | 2 Pages

    When I turned twenty-two I was excited to purchase my first car, I had been saving for 5 years in order to obtain the car of my dreams. I knew exactly what I wanted, all the “bells and whistles”, and I knew exactly what I was willing to pay and not a penny more. I thought I had a strong knowledge of the sales and pricing of the particular car I was hoping to buy, because I had done my research for weeks browsing and comparing the Sunday car ads. I was assured that my knowledge of the sales would get me a fair price and a great deal. However, my overconfidence and naivety, in the “creepy” sales tactics used by the dealership, made me unaware of the three hour nightmare that was about to ensue; leaving me brokenhearted, angry and vowing to never step foot on a car lot again.

  • Personal Statement: Why I Want To Drive

    607 Words  | 2 Pages

    I have been wanting to drive because it will be one of the most useful life skills after I graduate from high school. To me, being able to drive means to have a convenient, interesting life, and being a helpful person. My life will be more convenient when I can drive by myself. I am jealous of the day students who can drive off campus to have food when they do not have classes. For those of us who can not drive, the only chance to get out of the school is to up for the school shuttles that can only go certain destinations.

  • Personal Narrative Essay: If I Got My Car

    819 Words  | 2 Pages

    I got my car right before the beginning of summer. Brand new was not an option so I opted for a shiny-black, used Jeep Liberty. It was not in meant condition, but I was just exstatic as long as it had air conditioning that might just turn my fingers blue with frostbite. I had my car for a total of four months, however, before it became an unsightly crime scene. How did my car get wrecked one might ask? It all boils down to one decision I made. One bad choice could destroy a lot of things, so don’t let people convince you into making rash decisions. That was my mistake, and I'm still paying for it.

  • What Does Having A Driving License Mean To You Essay

    493 Words  | 1 Pages

    Having a driver's license means responsibility. I have always been hesitant to get a license and still am a bit because I know how much responsibility comes with one. Firstly, a car is quite dangerous. When driving a car, mistakes can be very costly, and the driver has to be well trained in order to handle those mistakes, or better yet, not make them. Secondly, there is a lot that goes into owning a car. You have to get it fueled, inspected, and keep good care of it. Having a car is almost like having a pet fish. You don't need to give it full attention, but you need to make sure it doesn't die. There is a lot of responsibility financially as well. You have to pay for things like insurance

  • Teen Car Abuse

    432 Words  | 1 Pages

    I think it should be up to the parents if they want to buy the teen a car or not, there isn't a blanket rule that all parents should or all parents shouldn't. The way my parents did it was they bought me a car after I had a job for 90 days. They were pretty sure I was going to wreck it so they got me a $500 piece of junk. Turned out it ran fine for 2 years, ugly as heck though. I think an $18,500 car would have been too expensive as my first car because my first car was severely abused. We raced it, drank (soda) in it, ate group lunches in it, played the aforementioned shopping cart soccer, figured out what happens when you put an automatic in first and keep the gas floored (answer: it shifts anyway), and what happens when you put it in reverse on the freeway (answer: nothing, it has a speed-lockout).
