Essay 2 classification
Just imagine the lumpy idle of a high horse powered race car that’s about to rocket itself down the ¼ mile drag strip. Your chest is vibrating along with your eardrums if you don’t have ear protection. Imagine yourself in the drivers seat, all strapped in for the ride of your life! This essay will classify cars…the car of my dreams, an ok car that I’d settle for, and a car that I’d prefer to light up and burn to the ground.
The car of my dreams is a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, which has a race ready 454 cubic inch v-8 power plant under it’s hood. I can imagine the car painted Candy-apple red with two black racing stripes up the hood. The car of my dreams would have to have ladder bars attached to the back end to prevent it from flipping over on it’s hood after you chomp on the accelerator when the light turns green. The car of my dreams would win trophies in car shows, and at the race track.
If I can’t afford that awesome car, I guess I could settle for a 1982 Buick Grand National. It has a rather impressive turbo assisted v-6 that has proved very fast at the races, but the body is not very appealing to me. It would be great to drive one and maybe even own one for awhile I guess. Although argued one of the quickest cars off the showroom floor, the IT factor is just not there.
Then here is my nightmare car. It’s a Chevy Aveo. Under-powered, lack of interior room, curve-less, no rumbling exhaust, lack of flow or style, and definitely not fast at the track or to get groceries even. In my opinion there is nothing appealing at all about this car. The only thing good about it is that it’s fuel efficient. But let’s be a realist here, if you have the need for speed like me, is fuel efficiency a top priority???
Obviously I am shooting for the top of the list, but you never know where the path of life will carry me. Who kmows… just might me having a bondfire!

This has plenty of juice and snap and you put yourself behind the wheel of the cars and of the writing. Glad to take it.
