Recommended: Advantages of owning a car

I really want a car. I've been doing well in school, and since I've already gotten my driver's license I am officially allowed to drive. There are a lot of benefits to buying me a car. First of all, If you get me a car I'll start getting good grades in school, I would be able to drive to school myself without making one of you take me at six in the morning, and just think of all the things I've helped you do around the house, like clean and take out the trash. I'm a really good driver too, you can even ask Abby when she took me to the grocery store and she let me drive for a minute or two. Also, when was the last time I did something bad or got in trouble, YEAH ZERO TIMES! So, keep that in mind while you're deciding to purchase a car for you're perfect son, to me it's an obvious answer. …show more content…

But, think of how old I am. An 18 year-old with no car, pretty embarrassing when you think about it. All my friends at school make fun of me for not driving around in my own car. When did you get your first car mom, hmmm let me think 16? You don’t know my humiliation, because you didn't experience not having a car. “Sobbing” you wouldn't know the feeling of being at school without a car. Maybe mother you should take that into consideration. Also, just think about how fun and exciting it was for you to get your first car. I remember you told me about those great times you had. Like, you use to drive around with your friends and would go anywhere you wanted

  • 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.

  • Manual Vs Automatic Transmission

    1289 Words  | 3 Pages

    You want to get a new car, but you are not sure whether to get one with an automatic transmission or one with a manual transmission. Well read on and perhaps this essay will help you out with your decision. Cars have played a big role in my life. When I was a little kid my dad and I used to work on his 197? Ford Granada. Every time something would go wrong with the car he would ask me to help him fix it. Not because I knew much about cars, because I didn't know anything about the subject, but because he wanted me to learn about cars and spend some time with me. Or maybe he just didn't want me to get ripped off at a garage when something went wrong with my car. Either way, we spent a lot of time working on cars. He taught me to love cars; I think it was because of him that I got really into cars. Unlike most people when they do something for a long time, they tend to get bored of whatever it is they're doing. But I, instead of getting bored of cars, the more I work on them, the more I like them. What I really like about cars is the engine. A car can look beautiful and exciting on the outside, but if you don't have enough power under the hood, the car will just end up being boring. The transmission plays a really big role on the car too because, besides getting power to the wheels, it can make or break the car. There are two different kinds of transmissions, automatics and manuals. Stick shift cars have played a bigger role in my life than automatics. If you want your drive to be boring or you're just lazy, no pun intended, ...

  • Personal Statement: Why I Want To Drive

    607 Words  | 2 Pages

    When I can drive a car, I can go to places where I would like to without many restrictions. For instance, I can take a yoga class that is outside of my school; I can drive to a part-time job; I can also go on a road trip with my friends. Especially when I am in college, driving seems to be necessary since the place is ginormous and the public transportation is not as convenient as cities like Boston. Without knowing how to drive, I will reduce my enthusiasm to do many of these activities because they are troublesome to get to. Even though I need to go to different places in one day, I do not feel restrained because I can rely on my personal schedule instead of worrying about to cause trouble for others.

  • Parking on Campus

    Having a car last semester, it was very inconvenient for me to park when it came to driving to class. I was disappointed by the amount of tickets I received, making my parents question whether I really needed a car. I might get a new car next semester but in all honesty I don’t really know if it’s worth it or not, especially if you're living on campus. Riding the bus only involves a shorter walk to class, and I can usually find rides to other places from someone else. Most students however, do want a car and shouldn’t have to think if they should really need one just because of the parking problem on campus.

    Even when I was younger, I loved to pretend that the steering wheel was on the right side of the car and I would be the one pressing my foot on that pedal. So now that the time actually came for me to drive on my own, on that open, terrifying road, I felt like my stomach was on fire. I was so ecstatic that if we needed bread for dinner or that I needed to take my sister into town for practice, I could be the one sitting in the driver’s side of the car. I loved the idea that I could be responsible for running the errands, helping out the family, and being independent. The day finally came on August 14, 2016, and my stomach was like a fireplace blazing in the winter time, I was sure that I was going to vomit.

  • 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).
