actully not really its for college...its like a practice essey and we are had to write about something we like...so i wrote about my dream car. This is just the draft In 1994 Toyota rebuilt one of there longest line of cars. The Celica, or the Spanish translation to “Heavenly”. This car, a 10year old car, still has the style of a new 2004 model. “Black Ice” is her name and she really is heaven to drive, look at, and the way it makes me feel. My car has been changed since when I first got it. It has gone through cosmetic changes, engine changes, and interior changes, but it still has more to come. The more I do to it the more I like it and the better it will be. Whether other people like what I do to my car, or if they believe I shouldn’t do it, I don’t care because it’s my choice on what I do. That’s why I do what I do. When I first got the car it had a slow engine, and an automatic transmission. I hated it, so much to the point where I almost sold it. Until I realized that potential of the car when I started to modify it to what I wanted. When I started to look at new engines and transmissions I found one that I wanted and would do anything to get it. So I borrowed money from my parents and bought it. A new 3s-gte engine and an 5-speed transmission for roughly 2,500 dollars imported from Japan. This engine came complete with all the wires and additional parts I need to install it. So my buddy and I took apart the car and started to piece this thing together. With almost no knowledge at all, about 72 working hours, 3 weeks of no car, and another 1000 dollars later, it was running and it was one of the greatest feelings I have had. Because of the fact that I did it myself and I didn’t take the easy way out for once and have someone else do it for me. This engine a turbocharged 250 horsepower beast was purring like a kitten, and nothing was going to stop it. Now the car is back together and the engine is still running strong, as fast as a cheetah, but still purring with no major problems. Now after some more parts added to it, the engine dressed up with silver and blue, clean as a whistle, and performance change I have got the engine to about 320 horsepower with a lot more to go, and its still running like the champion it is I have never felt any regrets. No matter how many times I was told not to do it, its not going to work I keep on going and got it to where I want, for now. Now to the outside of the car, the part that everyone sees, the part that people judge what kind of person I am. Well if someone over the age of 25, for the most part, would judge me a “no-good punk kid that doesn’t care about anyone else, and doesn’t follow the law”. Someone under the age of 25 would see my car as an expression from my heart and piece of art. That’s what my car is, an expression from my heart, I love my car I try not to hurt it if ever possible. The outside of my car was original black and still is. But the body of the car has been changed, with the addition of a body kit, new wheel & tires, and ton of other little parts. It still has its original headlights, a quad set, with 2 sets on each side. The low beams on the outside, and the high beams on the inside. The front of it has been changed, to a 3-hole open mouth body kit. This front piece with the headlight makes the car look like it is smiling at you when I drive up. The side of the car has a addition to the bottom to make the car about 2 inches lower, and the rear has a lip kit that adds to the bottom, with a slanted exhaust tip coming out the end. This car is a very low set car, and with the addition of the lowering springs and the body kit it makes it even lower. The car has “Heavenly” curves to it, you can follow any line on it and it will never end with a sharp edge. The taillights have been colored all red. Giving them a very smooth look. The outside of the car is how I pictured it to be with a new deep black gloss painting making it almost impossible to see at night without a light, and is amazing to look at and feel. It just gives off the sense of speed. Now to the important part, how my car makes me feel. Every time I sit in my car, a feeling of comfort comes over me, a feeling a love, a fulfilling feeling. My car is treated with respect from me because it is important to me, that’s why I have done the things to it that I have done. Every time I look at my car I see it as a piece of art and if you look at it with a open mind you will see it that way and not just some street racer. I am in love with my car, it may sound weird but there are things that I would pass up for my car. I love my car like I love my parents, I am very close to my car because it protects me, drives me, and listens to me. My car is always there for me to just drive for a bit if I want to think, it doesn’t judge, always takes care of me. My car acts like another mother to me, it just doesn’t talk back. I say that because it comforts me when needed, but I have had my occasional fight with it. My car is a piece of heaven and I will always be working to make it even better and try to keep it running as long as possible. The age of the car doesn’t matter, its how you treat her. My car will always be my first love; just like my first girlfriend I will never forget her. This post has been edited by Exile04: Oct 10, 2004 - 7:02 PM |
