My car, a cool innovation

My grandad has a friend who is looking to sell a 95 jetta with a grease kit on it. He told me this and I had no idea what it was. So we went out to look at it and it looked like a box on wheels, I mean i really did not like it, but since they were friends I had to pretend like it was in the runned to be my car. So we took it out for a drive and he explained to me what the grease kit is and does. Apparently this grease kit can use fry oil from like little "mom and pop" shops and get up to 50 miles to the gallon by using it, as long as the engine is hot enought to burn the fuel. Also it ran on diesel fuel and got 50 miles to the gallon on that as well. So in the summer I could go to China in this car without having to fill up, but it was one of the most unasthetically pleasing cars I have ever seen, so in the end I am going to wait til thursday and look at other cars. So yet again I have to wait to get a car.

Reflection of MSND scrapbook

The scrapbook was probably my favorite project because of the "above and beyond" I got to perform. I performed the final speech Robin gave in the play in a fairy costume. I had so much fun making the video. The group gave me some crap for not helping overly on the scrapbook, but I was the one that gave us the ability to get more than a C on the scrapbook, so I think I did my part.

I wish we had been required to perform something in front of the class because its easier to get a good grade on a project when something embarassing has to be done that your not embarassed to do. I would have loved to have acted out our portion of the play in front of the class, but my group did not want to be subject to that kind of ridicule I suppose.

My car, the verdict

I recieved the mans message and he told me that, just as I expected, nothing is wrong with the car and he believes that they forgot to reset the light after an oil change or something. So that pretty much seals the deal for me.... Im not going to buy that car. I looked into previous problems with 95 infiniti's and one of them was a problem that led to a fire starting in the passanger side of the vehicle, and whilst me and my mom were driving we smelled something burning but cast it aside as a smell from outside the car. So, all in all I would rather not spend 3400 dollars on a car that will catch my passengers on fire.

Also my mother said that a friend f my grandmother's is going to look up especially for me cars in my set range and quality cars, right now its up to 41 cars. This will be done by thursday, and we were originally going to have me checked out and go get them, but since we must have a doctors not I must wait even longer to get a car, and burden my friends with rides all the time.

My car, the problem

My grandmother found out through some of her friends who have purchased cars from that specific dealer that he is a bad dealer. He sold them cars with similar issues, such as the check engine light being on. Later on after driving the car for awhile, and his promise that he had the car checked out, their cars broke down and they had to spend hundreds to get the car fixed. So needless to say the man is not a reputable dealer and my grandmother does not want me to buy the car from him.

The car however has everything I want:its roomy, has all leather interior, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, CD player, and interior wood finish. It is exactly what I want down to a T, so I may still buy the car. However I would believe him more if he told me that there was a minor problem but they had it fixed no problem.

My car, round 3

Today me and mom went out to look at some local dealerships for a car and we came upon one dealership that had a beautiful infiniti for 3900. We went inside to talk to the man about it and he said since we were going to pay cash out right that he could lower the price to 3400 so we were really excited about that. However my mom was unsure of the quality of the car so we called my grandad and he told us that infiniti was made by nissan so the engines were good, which was great news to me. After finding out this information me and mom took it for a test drive to my uncle's house. It handled like a dream and had a V6 engine so needless to say it got it done on the straight aways. So we arrived at my uncles house and he, being a police officer, took the car for a real test drive. He took turns really hard, and floored it in all straight aways checking to see if any problems occured. The car passed completely however we did notice a check engine light was on in the car so we went to check it out at auto-zone but they did not have the equpment to check the car. So reluctantly we drove the car back and told the man about the problem and he said he would have his shop take a look at it and tell us before noon tomorrow.

My car, round 2

We were recently told that there was a toyota celica that was being sold for 1500. I was extremely excited because this is an older sports car, and it was a really cool looking car. So we go out to whitesville to look at the car and there was already a couple there, it was an old man and old woman whom I thought were actualy selling the car. However it turned out that were looking to buy the car aswell. It was really rather upsetting because there was a used car dealership just down the road that the guy could have gone to to get a car, but he would rather have this car for his 41 YEAR OLD WIFE!!! The man selling the car even said, and I quote, "This is a perfect teenager car, it really is" you would think that would be a hint to the old man that the guy selling the car wanted me to have it. However in the end after a small bidding war the man won the car because I refused to go over 2600 (which is 600 more than the car is blue booked for). Although it was a small victory because going by what the man said when we were at an 1800 dollar price tag "my wife has to have a car" I recalled that and just raised the price to 2500 so he would have to spend more to get it, I never actually intended to pay that much for the car but I just wanted it to not be a steal for him. I mean the car had 244000 miles on it and he was buying it as a reliable car for his wife so that she could go back and forth to work. He'll just be spending more for another car very soon.

My car

I have been trying to get a car for quite awhile. I have been able, over time, I have been able to raise 1200 dollars to get myself a car and my family found that to be a noble effort, but they knew for that money I would not be able to get a car that would last through college. So my grandmother gave me 5000 dollars to put towards my car, insurance, new tires, etc. so that I would be able to get a reliable car for myself. However, before she gave me this car she made me sign a contract saying that: I will not talk on my phone or text while I drive; I will not drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs; I will not drive with more than 3 people in the car; I will not speed; I will always drive with my seatbelt on; lastly I will not drive without insurance and a license because it is the law. All these things I find to be easy to follow and easily followed, however she felt much better after I signed this contract.

So now me and my mother have been out looking for cars, and at first I had already been looking and found a 97 Honda Accord that I really liked. The miles, however, had been rolled back so no one knows how many miles are on the car (later found out was 177000) AND they had raised the advertised price by 1000 dollars. So needless to say my mom did not let me buy that car, and we are still looking.

Reflection of MSND

Mid Summer Nights Dream is a play that invoked so many emotions. Anger, depression, sadness, and happiness. Anger or all the work that had to be done upon reading this play. Depression for all the time i did not get to spend doing things that I wanted to do, beacuse off all the work that had to be done on this play, as far as papers and reflections such as this one. Sadness because I was not able to participate with some of my friends senior activities because I had to work on my english homework. Happiness because this play gave me a look into truly amazing work of art. It allowed me to bare witness to a truly legendary playwright, and with McDs guidance I was able to understand this play which made it that much more interesting.
