My Dream Car

So, how many of you dream of the first car you will own? Well, in this assignment, let's pretend that you just graduated from college and your super-generous parents are going to buy you WHATEVER car you want! However, you have to pay for gas with hard earned money you will be making in your first job :) In this 15 point assignment due THIS Wednesday October 8, your job will be to figure out the following:1) What car will you buy and why?2) Google your car, go the car's website, then find out:a) How many gallons does your gas tank hold? b) How many miles do you get per gallon (mpg)? 3)Now you can figure out how much will it cost you to fill your tank. Use the link below to find local gas prices.


There are many times I think about the first car I am going to get when I am able to drive. When I think about this I wonder how safe the car is. I wonder if the car I want to get is a gas guzzler or if it is 30-some miles to the gallon. I don't really want a small car like a beetle because they aren't as safe as something like a truck. That is why I'm looking into getting a Ford F150. When I imagine myself driving an F150 I imagine me feeling tall, powerful, and in control. The ford F150 is 15 miles to the gallon, not exactly what I would hope for but lets face it nothing is perfect and I have pretty high expectations. If the F150 is 15 miles to the gallon, and the tank holds 30 gallons and if gas is about 3 dollars and 60 cents a gallon the it would cost 108 dollars to fill up my gas tank. Some of the physical characteristics my car would have is that it would be shiny dark blue and the interior color would be grey. Some of the feautures that i would add to my truck is a moonroof, a GPS, and a DVD Player. I also want an airbag because they are safe and they are really funny looking when they go off. Just because the airbags would be awesome I definitely do NOT plan on wrecking the car just to make the cool airbags go off. That is exactly what my dream car would be like.
