Blog #5

Right around the age of 15 I was very interested in cars - rightfully so. I was very excited to receive my license and wanted to make sure I was getting the best deal for the money I was allotted to spend from my parents. In order to understand which cars were right for me and which ones would run awhile, I had to do some research. My research mainly began on craigslist simply looking to see what was out there and near me. Once I was intrigued by a specific model, I would go into further research to find out more about the vehicle. Car blogs, YouTube videos, and even car magazines is where I would look for this information. This helped me find out all the vital information I needed to know about the car before approaching my dad with an option. My dad is a tough cookie. I mainly performed all this research only because I knew he would ask all the questions and I would not advance in the process of buying a car before he had all his questions answered. As I kept car shopping, I became very interested in the whole process and wanted to learn more. Television is where I looked next. Velocity is a television channel that I often watch even today. It features shows all about cars, every angle imaginable about them. Researching cars has showed me that I have an interest in that field. My summer job is involving working with all different types of cars. I believe that I will be interested in vehicles my whole life.
