It's defined as a social gathering around the open tailgate of an automobile. They take place in a parking lot, hours before an event begins. For many when they think tailgate, they think pickup truck. However, my first memory is centered on a nine passenger Chevrolet Impala Wagon. Here we'll dig into some of the unique features
“Wagon Wheel” A “narrative” is defined as being a “written or spoken account of connected events” (“Narrative”). Narratives come in various forms.

story, Boyle uses many symbols to create the theme. The individual vehicles are each symbols in the portion of the story that they appear. For example, early in the story, the narrator describes the car they drive to Greasy Lake as an old station wagon, obviously not the “ride” of a true tough-guy. When the boys arrive at Greasy Lake, a “chopper” is parked on the shore, and next to it is a 57 Chevy (Boyle 113). Both of the vehicles are hotrods that imply a “greasy” image.

The front end of the station wagon disintegrated upon impact, sending pieces of debris all over the highway. Alex and Angela’s parents were both thrown into the dashboard and windshield as the engine block raced at them with equal force. As the girls braced during the impact, they were both thrown forward, but were quickly arrested by their seatbelts. They screamed as the car careened and then skidded to a stop somewhere in the nearby farmer’s field, parts of the vehicle’s now twisted metal frame

Sports utility vehicles are designed for off road driving. It seems like bigger the body is on a SUV, the more popular it is; the
I grew up a thrift store kid. We took trips in a beat up station wagon, but I went to school in Shallow Creek. I was considered a little different. We are all different. Later we will find that we are all the same. It will not matter later in life who we were friends with or what clubs we belonged to. It will not matter what our grades were, or what kind of clothes we wore. It will not matter what kind of cars our parents drove. It will not matter what our dreams were, but what dreams we accomplish

Jim shrugged back into his long red robe, gave a quick, half-hearted swipe at his flaming mop, which was now even more out of control than usual, and shouldered his way out of the swampy atmosphere of the high school locker room. The soccer game had re-energized his previously smoldering brain cells. The tedious honors Calculus class that he taught just before lunch was not the highlight of his day. Not that he didn’t like the subject matter, math had always come easy to him, but attempting

The irony of this anomaly was the vehicle he drove, a station wagon raised with massive tires and exemplified even more by large round lights placed in between the headlights. I would see the principal’s machine on a regular basis and always think, “How in the hell does he get in?” After meeting the principal I
car manufactures showcased the new models, generating excitement and of course new sales. In the 1990s and 2000s, a new breed of vehicle was introduced, the sport utility vehicle (SUV). This was a marketing term for vehicles similar to the station wagons of the 70s but built on a truck chassis. These vehicles were perceived as rugged and capable of being used off road.
