1st hour

In the article “1976 nova like no other,” in Hot Rod Magazine There was a Chevy II wagon that every other racer would underestimate. Even with one thousand two hundred horse power this car has rust and rot. In Mississippi this is one of the meanest cars across the river. With the driving experience of Ken Clark, the Chevy can reach the speeds of a nine second quarter mile while a prius can only go 0-60 in a quarter mile.

    Who Killed the Electric Car

    By the end of Chris Paine's lively and informative documentary, the idea doesn't seem quite so strange. As narrator Martin Sheen notes, "They were quiet and fast, produced no exhaust and ran without gasoline." Paine proceeds to show how this unique vehicle came into being and why General Motors ended up reclaiming its once-prized creation less than a decade later. He begins 100 years ago with the original electric car. By the 1920s, the internal-combustion engine had rendered it obsolete. By the 1980s, however, car companies started exploring alternative energy sources, like solar power.…

    Case Study: Acker Drive A Car

    On appeal, Smith said there were no times when he let Acker drive his car. Acker asked for the car a number of times, but he refused him permission. He knew Acker's license had been suspended for driving under the influence, but he did not recall being told of a family policy to not allow Acker use of the family cars. Acker testified that he does not recall the accident or how he came into possession of the Cadillac. Mr. Acker stated that he did not recall asking the defendant for his keys, nor did he know where the defendant kept his keys. Acker knew Smith did not want anyone driving his Cadillac, but never told him not to drive his car.…

    camaro vs mustang

    Ford and Chevy are as American as apple pie. However, as any car fanatic knows. They are as big of rivals as the North and the South used to be. Two rival models of Ford and Chevy, in particular, is the Ford Mustang Shelby GT and the Chevy ZL1 Camaro. The Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang are quintessential American pony cars and as such, continue to fight the war over which sport utility vehicle is the best in performance. I recently became interested in cars and the whole racing aspects of them because my best friend races once in a while. He is extremely knowledgeable and interested in cars and can tell which car is the best. Becoming a huge car fanatic like him, I have to “pick a side” and decide which car I would go with the Mustang or the Camaro. The two features that I would take in to consideration in deciding which car is better than the other one is the performance that it has to offer and the style that it resembles.…

    1960s Muscle Cars

    In keeping with original exterior body style of this American icon, the redesign captures the curvature with subtle softening of the contour. The front end design integrity has been protected by keeping the original round headlights inset into the grill. The integrity was also well maintained in providing the same style of tail light to match that of the older counterpart. Another aspect that has held the integrity of the original 1960’s model is performance. The performance of the 6.4 liter 470 horsepower 2010 model still provides the sought after horsepower of 1960’s model. This model also provides maximum acceleration in keeping with the older counterpart. In today’s times, the 2010 provides that same stigma as the older counterpart as the muscle care of this day and…

    So what is Orange lust? Actually, Orbit Orange was an exclusive paint color given to the 1970 GTO. This was the first time Pontiac gave a car an exclusive paint color. Although other standard colors were available for the 1970 GTO, Orbit Orange was the designated color. (See figure 1.) Adding to this feature were some pretty wild decals and the Judge logo on the trunk lid.…

    How I Learned to Drive

    How I Learned to Drive was written by Paula Vogel. It is written in an autobiographical style, although it is never truly clear whether or not it is autobiographical in actuality. The story is about a woman (Lil’ Bit) in her 30’s looking back on her experience of being molested by an uncle (Uncle Peck) from the age of 11 through 18. The brilliance in Vogel’s writing is that despite the subject matter, Uncle Peck doesn’t come across as a “monster-like” figure. Instead he seems like a regular person—flawed but somewhat likeable.…

    Drinking and drinving is a very serious issue in the "driving world" Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens.In 2010, 1 to every seven teens ages 16 to 19 died every day from motor vehicle injuries. Per mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are three times more likely than drivers aged 20 and older to be in a fatal crash. All of this preventable! In 2010 about 2,700 teens in the United States aged 16–19 were killed and almost 282,000 were treated and released from emergency departments for injuries suffered in motor-vehicle crashes, Wow! In a recent year, people aged 16 to 24 were involved in 28 percent of all alcohol-related driving accidents, although they make up only 14% of the U.S. population.Young people are also over-represented in drinking driver injuries and deaths.Fortunately, driving accidents have been declining among young people, just as they have among the general population.

    Sweet Heat

    Sweet Heat

    I think back and visualize the days of Bonnie and Clyde in the early 1930’s and reminisce about the first V8 powered vehicles driven during that era. That vision is what comes to mind when taking a drive with my father in his Ford street rod, “Sweet Heat”. “Sweet Heat” is a 1931 original steel Ford Sport Coupe that has been converted to a street rod powered by a ZZ4 350 cubic inch /400 Horsepower General Motors crate engine. The name “Sweet Heat” was derived from the hot new engine sounds and the visual of the pickle fork flames that were painted symmetrically on both the hood and car body. The visions of red, yellow, orange, and purple flames are long lasting, and a sense of the heat generated from the engine warms and surrounds me.…

    Government Restraint In America

    When the modern car was invented in Britain, the government enacted the Red Flag Act that required three people at all times to operate the vehicle: a driver, a person to fuel up the vehicle, and someone to stand in front of the car and wave a red flag. The government was worried that cars would endanger civilians, and enacted a two mph limit in urban areas. Soon after, the commercialization of vehicles shifted to the United States, and Henry Ford would initiate Ford, the car company, in 1903. Without having to be concerned with regulations similar to the Red Flag Act, Henry was able to create vehicles that traveled up to forty-five mph. This more efficient method of traveling would later on prove to be disruptive for the horse and buggy industry, causing the number of horse to decline tremendously over the course of forty years. Nonetheless, the invention of the horse-less carriage was an easy target that acquired multiple technological problems in the process of development. Even more true, past supporters of the Red Flag Act had a reason to worry because cars were dangerous, and in today's times, they are the leading cause of accidental deaths. However, despite such worries, Ford did not have to be rules of the horse and buggy business trying to stifle the emergence of…

    Personal Narrative Essay: The Green Hornet

    With 176,000 miles, broken window cranks, stained nylon seats, a massive dent on the right fender, and the pungent fragrance of a high school locker room, my friend Ken’s ’96 green Mazda Protege was the most decrepit, yet beautiful car I’ve ever ridden. It could have been Ken’s adventurous driving or maybe it was the car sounding like it would explode while idling, but I sometimes feared for my life in that car. Due to its bright hue, Ken nicknamed it “The Green Hornet.” I laughed when I first saw it; however I realize I grew a lot in that jalopy.…
