Trophy Trucks are the fastest class of off-road racing vehicles which are designed and built to resemble modern pickup trucks. Although any truck that meets the safety standards can race the trophy truck class, they, for the most part, feature long travel suspensions and high power engines. They are intended for desert racing, and are not street legal. Trophy Trucks can reach speeds in excess of 135 miles per hour even over rough terrain. This puts them among the fastest off-road vehicles in the world. The trucks are most frequently associated with the Baja 1000 race, series that have featured trophy trucks including SCORE International, and Best In The Desert or BITD, in which they are referred to as "Trick Trucks".…

Team number three, consisting of Trenton Peters, Brett Halleen, Thomas Monroe, and Grant Dahlgren are building an edible car named “Meals on Wheels.” The problem statement that we are trying to solve is “Build a car that meets all criteria for the edible car challenge, and preforms to the best performance we can make it.” To start off, our vehicle was composed of cheese wheels, pretzel axles and a graham cracker body, with an apple slice in the front to add the element of there being a cockpit in the front of the vehicle, and marshmallow was used to hold all of the pieces together. However, the vehicles performance was less than expected, and didn’t do well on the scale Appendix A.2 of the text book, receiving an estimated 28pts out of 50pts.…
Meal on Wheels delivered meals to Seniors in their homes. It first started in the United Kingdom in during the Blitz for those who lost their homes and the ability to cook their own food along with them. It went national in the United States in 1974 and goes by name Meal on Wheels America which is the largest and oldest national organization there is. The first states to undertake the program were Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Oregon and California. One of the places in Massachusetts that is now a Meal on Wheels program is Lifepath at 330 Montague City. Rd. Ste 1 Turner Falls, Ma 01376 and Poet Seat Healthcare center in Greenfield. MA refers people to local Meal on Wheels on program. Gina a social worker at Poet Seat's said they been…
Driving is inherently dangerous, especially when sharing the road with semi trucks. While you can mitigate this danger by increasing your following distance behind these big rigs, passing one on a multilane road forces you to drive within a few feet of it. Likewise, only a few feet separate you from oncoming trucks on a two lane road. Because you can't entirely avoid these situations, you have to trust that the truck doesn't lose control or otherwise harm you.…
In this paper I’m going to tell you about my first trip to the monster trucks in pocatello! It was awesome having mud thrown up it to the raging crowd from the tires spinning out while doing donuts and hitting massive jumps and and doing backflips .…
order to survive and maintain a healthy lifestyle, everyone needs Food. How much do we actually know about the food we buy and serve to our families on a daily basis? There has been little awareness and understanding of food in America until the film Food Inc., which helps show us how our food is produced, packaged and sold in our native stores. Our nation’s food supply is being controlled by a few amounts of corporations that often put their income ahead of customer health. It’s time that the truth is heard about what we are putting into our bodies, and what is being hidden from us by the food industry.…
For my social norm violation I decided to order Burger King’s and Wendy’s food at McDonald’s. I chose to break this social norm because, here in America, the majority of people know what type of food each fast food chain offers. For example, everyone knows that a Big Mac is from McDonald’s and a Whopper is from Burger King. I wanted to see the reaction I would get from the McDonald’s employees if I tried to order a Whopper and a baconator. So, I went to the McDonald’s on Weber at a time when it wasn’t busy (so I wouldn’t hold up the line if I took a long time). I pulled up to the McDonald’s drive-thru menu and the man asked me what I wanted. I told him that I would take 2 Whoppers with no cheese and a small fry. At first, he said ok but then realized what I had just said. He…
It was an epic final showdown between Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. The debate itself was a complete success, and it has a little thrill and fun too. On the other side of the debate, there's an unusual lineup of taco trucks around the corner. For sure, everyone likes tacos! At the end of the day, it's all about having fun watching them exchange words at each other while we eat these delicious tacos!…
Automobiles are like people. There are tons of them, and yet only a few ever enter our lives. With this in mind I comprised a comparison of the three top trucks on the market. The Toyota Tacoma, the GMC Sierra 1500, and the Ford F-150. These three trucks are considered smaller full size trucks. Now there are quite a few ways to compare trucks. However I chose the most used, or necessary traits needed in a truck. For all who do not know anything about automobiles I will be going over each trait, and why they matter before giving the ranking of first to last place. The easiest was for someone to judge anything is by the price. It is the part that directly requires your action. That being said it requires the least amount of explaining. Looking at only the price the Toyota Tacoma is the winner by about 2,000 dollars. The interiors on the stock models are around the same quality, but the Tacoma is notably more compact than the other two models in this chart. This impacts a few other features that will be talked about later. The next trait is horsepower. This is the amount of work that can be done by the engine. 1 horsepower equals 746 Watts of power a second. In laymen terms this is…
Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser explains the historical growth of fast food chain and how they succeeded in dominating the industry for decades nows. Schlosser talk about many netriouse techniques use to lure children and other simple minded american to be addicted to fast food, like a drug.

Furthermore, the author elaborate more on how many people drop their educational career and became successful through these endeavors. One main controversial question that come up in this novel is how fast food is the solution to many economic issues. The point raised make…
When it comes to keeping the human body, nutrition is the most essential part of everyone’s life. If people do not have full control, it will affect the way they will be in the future. Any change to someone's diet will change their body in the long run, whether it be positive or negative. It is quite apparent, especially in America, that the common person’s nutrition has gone down hill. Since the 1980s, the rate of obesity has inflated double the amount for adults and triple for children (“Obesity” p. 1). Shockingly, America spends more on fast food than on college education, computers, software and cars combined. In fact, in 2005, Americans spent one hundred thirty four billion dollars on fast food alone. In the ‘70s, America only spent six billion (Schlosser p. 10). I am not one to blame McDonalds for the drastic rise of poor nutrition. There are obviously other reasons why. I mainly blame the misinformation and myths that the general public has been told. The reason why that people are more unhealthy now than in the past is…
The Fast Food industry, in some burger loving eyes, has been one of the smartest…
In-n-out and shake shack are two of the fiercest competitors in the ever growing fast-food industry. Both fast food joints are on different sides of the country, yet the debate is still going on which is the best food-chain. In-n-out is a common food chain on the west coast most famous for its juicy hamburgers and frothy milkshakes. Shake Shack is a very popular food chain on the east coast and are mostly known for their simple take on a cheeseburger and their unique flavors used in their milkshakes. I believe that shake shack has better flavors, better service, and is overall the best fast food chain.…
" I opened the first Wendys restaurant because I felt that there should be a place where fresh hamburgers are made just the way the customer wants it." That is as true today as it was thirty one years ago when Dave Thomas first spoke those words. People put their trust into Wendys every time…
