Vinyl wrap My name is Marco Soliman. I’m 18, Egyptian citizen, and I have been in the U.S. for five years. I started liking cars and wanted to know more about them, when I started high school. I started to want to own a car to modify it. I got my first car on my 15th birthday. I was so happy suddenly, a lot of ideas popped in my head on what I want to do to the car. I’m a car fan, I started to like cars a lot that it became, “my favorite thing in life.” Which a lot of people think, that it’s stupid and just a ride. According to “car people” who I’m one of them, a car is not car if it’s stock. Racing and working on cars became my habit. I joined Antioch High School, Automotive Tech. program in 2013, 11th grade. In my Maintains/light Repair class, I mastered working on cars for three years, with the help of my teacher Muhlstadt. I mastered the car repairing, electric, and alignment. One day as I walk out of school heading to my car, and as I got closer there was a big scratch on my front bumper, didn’t feel right at all that time, but I got down to it and started to research for ways to fix the paint, I chose the vinyl wrapping because it was the cheapest. I wrapped the whole bumper and it looked good, and I thought of why I didn’t have that before it would have protected my paint from that day. I had the idea of adding a aluminum layer on the bottom of the vinyl sticker. Adding vinyl wraps to your car will cost you $200 - $300. Yes it is cheap because when your car gets scratched the paint gets peeled it will cost at least $900 for a cheap repair and it will still not be as good as the stock paint. Vinyl wrapping is not too hard to install or remove the install process will take you from 4 – 6 hours, and you can do it yourself.... ... middle of paper ... ...s, you can also get vinyl tint stickers with anything you like on it. Glass tints applied differently than any other tint, and the way you apply is to clean the glass as clean as possible, than put water and soap in a spray container, and spray it on the vinyl tint and the windshield or the windows so it will not be sticky, than apply the vinyl tint on the glass and by using a rubber, “really you can use any card you want.” Push the water and soap from between the glass and the vinyl tint, and when you done with all the tint applied, use a heat gun or a, “Hair drier” to dry out any left soap water. Glass tint is important to be applied from the inside of the vehicle because, if applied in the outside of the vehicle it will be removed by speed wind and rain water, so applying the vinyl tint wrap on the inside of your vehicle will last longer and will look better.
The racecar was not the most creative or what some would call beautifully designed. But the owner and his father worked for weeks on that little wooden block to turn it into something the ten-year-old boy could be proud to race. A previous race showed what needed to be done for a car to make it in the top five. After careful designing, sanding, painting, and graphite the car was finished.
When I was fourteen I began the search for a vehicle. I want to find an older truck or muscle car to fix up and have done by the time I got my driver’s license. So every day I would search the web for what would be the best looking, easiest to work on, and cheapest vehicle I could find. I fell in love with the look of the square body Chevy short bed trucks and it was all the things I was looking for; the hunt was on for the one for me.
Over time, there have been several technological advancements that have shaped the world in which we live and are familiar with today, and one advancement, in particular, that has influenced American society significantly is the automobile. Since the automobile’s beginning, it has continuously been improved and modified pushing the rest of technology to keep up with its rapid pace of innovation. Americans have frequently taken advantage of the automobile’s many benefits, but what they often fail to realize is that the automobile has given American society more than just the luxury of driving. In fact, the automobile has influenced this nation and the people within it both historically and culturally
Some people all around the world have cars that are misused or even abused by other people. Needless to say, having cars that have dents and broken parts is just impractical. At TyHeezy and Sancheezy’s Magical Car Wash we can make everybody's dream a reality by transforming a once battered car, into a new and luxurious sedan or SUV.
The day started off like any average day, I took a hot shower, got dressed and got prepared for the day. It wasn’t until I sat down and started eating my bowl full of cheerios with extra sugar, that I realized what was actually happening. Today would be the day I finally bought my first car, after a year of hard work and conservative economic decisions.
If you have never taught a little girl how to drive, then be prepared for the ride of your life. I love my little cousin, but she made this day the most interesting, hard, and annoying ever. Teaching her involved one wreck, and one long lecture from our grandparents. Even though driving a side-by-side is very exciting, my little cousin made it the worst thing in the world.
Imagine sitting at a stoplight in a Ford Focus and a Ferrari or a Lamborghini pulls up in the next lane. Does not one wonder how nice quality, and feel they have? With all the transmission problems and uncomfortable seats, one wonders why they are still driving an American car and not a Foreign one. Every brand has its own and unique car. While Foreign cars look dissimilar, they have that different and distinctive look, that makes them stand out and look exclusive and rare. Cars have been around since the late 1890’s, early 1900’s. The most popular car of old was the Ford Model T, it featured 20 horsepower, but only coming in the color black. Being the first high production car, it was widely requested all over the world. Soon after the Model T was shipped out and got looked at, Foreign countries started producing their own. These cars helped greatly, transporting troops and weapons long distances during the Second World War. Foreign cars are better than American cars due to their quality and efficiency. The car’s definition of what it means to be, their pros and cons, physical attributes, and American influence all contribute as well.
Honda, The Car Everyone Needs Beep! Beep! Beep! Goes the alarm clock in the other room. Oh man, surely it can't be time to get up yet, you think to yourself. As you scramble out of the bed and into the shower, the thought crosses your mind, I hope my car starts.
This is it, the day it all comes to fruition. Saturday night, right around dinner time, my dad and I set out to meet a man to look at what could potentially become my first truck. We had been interested in the truck for quite some time, and today was the day we decided to make an offer. It was quite a lengthy drive in my dad’s old beat up Chevy, but I knew that it would be worth it. Finally, we arrive at our destination, and things couldn’t have worked out any better.
Driving down the road on a very sunny Christmas morning when I look behind me and see my dog Wilson being adorable. I turn to my mom and said “Awe the dog is so adorable!” my mother turned to look over at the dog, when she hits a patch of ice on the side of the road. I was sitting upfront with my other dog Cocoa in my lap, I sat up stick straight everything in my body tensing up and my skin turning even more pale than it already was. Grabbing on to the dog I had a death grip around her
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.
I wasn’t an outcast anymore, I was just another college student, and I wasn’t a loser or thought of as a poor kid because I had a “lame, old car.” How I was seen by others completely changed when I switched vehicles, but how my family saw me didn’t change much. They didn’t see the car as one of the defining elements of who I was, rather, they saw how I was with the car. My family even came up with nicknames for the car, including “sporty” and “little zoom zoom.” Sayings such as, “look at you in that little sporty car” became second nature to me and gave me a different connection to the car because both the car and I were recognized and given
Cars have gone through many changes throughout the years. We have seen car designs from the 40’s land boats, all the way to the exotic styles we see today. People tend to look past the fact that cars are not only just a form of transportation, but also a passion and an art style, that has been carried down throughout the years. Cars are a way for an artist to express themselves through time, and hard work.

I lived with my father for my entire life, but due to his work I did not spend much time with him. My father worked at a different city; and thus he comes home only a few times a month. My father is a mechanic. He works at a company that is distant from our home. This was due to the company being the only one and the first where cars were being assembled in Ethiopia. Sometimes on the weekends I used to go to his work place. He would give me a trip of the place; the station was filled with vehicles, trucks, and motorcycles. It was separated by sections. In each section there were only one type of vehicle and the assembly process was shown step by step. From a fuse to large engine of the car, components were getting attached.
