Why I like Cars

1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL⬇️

Who doesn’t like cars? They get you from point A to point B. If someone were to ask me what my dream car is, I would say “a 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL.” The only thing is I don’t know where I would get one. I would drive a magenta minivan to work every day. The reason I got started on liking cars was because my dad and pap are mechanics. One time, school was out, and my dad took me to work. I got to help fix cars. Here is a great informational site. You can look up different cars and the site will tell you about them.

I don’t really like Hyundai’s because my dad doesn’t. Apparently “…the paint chips…engine problems…the steering column is held on by 2 screws…” I do like Mazda’s though. According to Google (I looked up “Say good stuff about Mazda”) they get good safety ratings and with their SKYACTIV® technology, you get superior control over the engine, transmission, and car body
contributing to both a good performance and a nice, comfortable driving experience. Most new cars have heated and air-conditioned seats. The heated seats are good in winter, and the A/C seats in the summer. Some cars also have heated steering wheel. My dad is building a 1966 AC Shelby Cobra. He bought it at Factory 5 in Massachusetts. We finished the chassis (pronounced “chas-ee,” the main frame of the body) and are now working on the body. It has 3 coats of primer on it. I like making off-brand versions of cars.

Cars in the Future

Flying Car⬇️

Maybe one day cars will be able to fly. Wouldn’t getting to fly to school be nice? If you find a spare $1,000,000 at the bottom of your piggy bank, there’s no reason why you can’t buy one. Or cars might be able to go underwater. In the 1960’s, Germans made the Amphicar 770. Maybe they will make the Aquacar 771. Maybe Lancia will make the Stratos again. The stratos is like a cross between a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mazda Miata and/or RX7, and an off-roader. Lancia is an Italian sports car brand. I don’t know if they make cars anymore.
