Write a review on your dream car - MINI Cooper
When I was young, I was the critical romantic. I loved anything to do with pink and purple, flowers, love movies, candlelight dinners and two-seater convertible cars. To me, that was the meaning of romantic. As time has gone by, my perspective of what is romantic has changed a lot but, I dont know why, I still think of sitting in a two-seater convertible with my lover as a perfect romantic dream. Guess what? Last Sunday, my dream became my lifea sweet smile from my husband at the other side of a carwe had a MINI convertible for a day!It didnt take us too long to fall in love with the tiny two-door and it seems like everywhere we went we drew onlookers attention. Rather, I should say, the MINI was a hit—not us—even though we were an extremely handsome couple. Maybe it was the cool blue metallic that caught peoples eyes or its 17-inch 8-spoke alloy wheels, or could it have been the twin chrome exhaust tips at its lower rear. Anyway, the MINI radiates the most powerful image when compared to any other cars on the road.

The MINI is fully capable, with a supercharged SOHC 16-valve engine that delivers 168-horsepower and 215 km/h top speed. With a manual transmission, the MINI is incredibly fast, going from 0-100 mph in 7.4 seconds-partly because the car is fairly light, even[STARTING TO SOUND A LITTLE CLICHÉ]. With its wide track, short overhangs, low centre of gravity, the MINI is a perfectly natural athlete. Though we didnt really have any romantic inclinations while driving, we certainly experienced lots of excitement on four wheels.

Since I have heard many comments about the choppy rides of the minis former models, the road I took was not the smoothest. All the dips and bumps turned a Sunday drive into a rollercoaster ride, but inside the car there was no discomfort. In fact, the MINIs stiff front strut axle and the multi-link rear-axle kept the ride stable even in unfavourable conditions, and the anti-roll bars counteracted the slant on sharp bends to give us an

    As it comes to the performance of our car I think it preformed alright. It could have done a lot better. I believe are car made it about five meters. Two strengths of are car where probably the spinners on the wheels, and also the way we have the back of the mouse trap carved out allowing more room for the rope to be wound. Two definite weaknesses of are car was that the back wheels were not big enough therefore the car would spin out most of the time. Another weakness is that the axles were not on there perfectly straight so the tires would rub against the body of the car causing friction.…

    One would think that since Henry and Lyman both worked so hard that they would have a car. Lyman says, "Don't ask me why, because we never mentioned a car or anything, we just had all our money" (Lamartine, 365). It was not until they saw this red convertible that they decided to purchase a vehicle. Lyman was very excited the first time he saw the red convertible. The brothers had been to busy working and living their day to day lives that they did not spend much time together but this red convertible was the rebirth or start of something new for them. Lyman felt as if the car was alive.…

    Whether we want to or not, we all remember our first cars. Small, slow, clunky, and sometimes a little rusty, they usually weren’t something impressive. Transporting us to work, school, and home again and providing a level of freedom that we had never enjoyed before, they were necessary in our everyday lives. For that, we all retain fond memories; however, we all acknowledge that, when given the choice, we would have chosen to drive the coolest car on the market, especially when we have people to impress. Chevrolet’s “Boy Meets Impala” commercial of 1958 plays on this scenario, featuring strong pathos, connection to a specific audience, vital contextual ties, and persuasive content meant to encourage families to purchase the Impala convertible.…

    I find my position on this subject to be sympathetic. I imbue personality into personal possessions, especially the cars and trucks I have owned, and after a time, I view them as more than just a mode of transportation. This video was targeted at sympathetic consumers. The automobile holds a special place in the hearts of Americas, it represents our freedom, and is often an outward expression of how we view ourselves.…

    The 19th century was an era of change. There were lots of progression in technology, science, and philosophy that gradually turned European society away from the past centuries. Women’s status in the 19th century Europe also changed. Many of the 19th century women were able to have a profession as they received higher and wider education, and also allowed to have more participation in society. In the musical life of 19th century Europe, numbers of women were able to perform and compose as good and men. However, their opportunities were still limited by tradition. Therefore, the role of the 19th century women as performers and composers was not equal to men, as can be seen in the case of Fanny Hansel, a sibling of the well known composer Felix Mendelssohn.…

    Unlike todays modern romance novels the short story “Love in L.A” by Dagoberto Gilb does not follow the typical path of boy meets girl, they fall in love, and live happily ever after. Instead it takes a unique path which portrays a more realistic way of love. It’s rare in reality one automatically finds the wealthy, well-dressed, well-mannered and handsome man driving a fancy vehicle. Sometimes he may be a little self-absorbed or tells a lie or two, just as the slouchy, wanna be superstar character of Jake in this piece. Gilb’s short story is still a love story just with a…

    My first car was a bit of a roller coaster, I had just learned to drive the year before and now it was time for me to have my own car. I would say the excitement I felt was overwhelming but even that might understate it just a little. The search began on a Sunday morning we went to several different dealerships, in search of the right mix of economy and style. Well, to be honest my mom was mostly interested in the economy part. The first dealership we went the car salesman seemed like the kind of over eager vacuum salesman you see on those old TV shows. The guy was just ridiculous, with his hair slicked back, and his slacks which were so tight he could start a fire. Every time he would show us a car I thought he was going to start a fire.…

    Modern Love

    • 482 Words

    Use of intense simile and metaphor throughout “Modern Love” also demonstrates a grim view on the concept of modern love. The muffled cries of the wife are called “little gaping snakes” showing how afraid and vulnerable the husband is to them. The man’s wife has a “Giant heart of Memory and Tears” which shows the heavy, almost useless organ that the wife carries around within her, empty of love, only able to remember the sadness to which she has been subjected to. Then, the husband and wife are said to be “like sculpture effigies” in their “common bed,” lying “stone-still.” Instead of two lovers talking to each other and loving each other in their bed, a place shared between the two of them, they are “moveless” and silent. This makes modern love seem empty of joy, empty of companionship, and devoid of love.…

    Immediately, when I turned sixteen I woke up in the morning and saw a pair of shinny silver keys sitting on my desk. I jumped up with excitement and rushed out the door wearing only my boxers, with the keys dangling in my hand. There it was: my brand new GMC Envoy, dark hunter green with a wax that could blind you. I stared at the car with excitement and admiration; it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, and it was mine. I took it for a test drive around the block and opened it up on the highway only three blocks from my house. It had a V8 under the hood, black leather seats, a Bose sound system and enough horsepower to tow anything I desired. After my first test drive around the neighborhood, I picked up the phone and called my friends. I couldn't wait to show off my new car. With a quick thank you and a hug for my parents, I sprinted out the door. Hearing a faint be careful from my mom in the background, I slammed the front door and raced to my car.…

    The term "small car" is both relative and subjective. A small car in the US or the Middle East is regarded as big in countries such as India and Indonesia. Within a particular country, too, the small car market has fairly heterogeneous products. While a car equipped with the latest technology such as the Suzuki Swift is a small car, the basic Nano, which is available at one-third the price of the Swift, also belongs to the same segment.…
