Personal Narrative-The Cloud Car
Let’s take a ride (featuring 1967 Shelby GT500 A.K.A~ The cloud factory): Today is starting off to be a wonderfully beautiful day. The cold morning air is rich with both oxygen and moisture, which smells like the recipe for power to me! As I, Sandra Sandpile, am waiting to watch the sun rise, while the birds sing. I then drifted off into a time and a place of past excitement and adventure. It was a beautiful spring morning and I was waiting for my ride to work (I didn't have a car then). All of a sudden, a rare and beautiful 1967 Shelby GT500 with a 4 on-the-floor, BB427ci 2v OHV 4BL double-pumper 750 Holly pulled up in front of my house with its cams loping away. At the engines idling speed, it sounded similar to that of the SpongeBob Square-Pants victory screech, but with a little more testosterone. As I approached the car, it seemed as if time had slowed down. The driver of the car was just staring at the windshield, repeatedly honking his horn. I entered the car with a feeling of disconcertment and said "Hi, my name is Sandra, and you?" He then responded by saying that he was a man by the name of Arnold Weinerschnitzel. It was obvious to me that the huffy-puffy cigar man had a deluded sense of reality. He, for some reason believed that he was a terminator who was on a mission to save John Conner! Man, it was intensely scary, and let my neck tell you, he had one heavy foot! Our journey lasted the …show more content…
After we had saved John Conner that day, we had arrived back at my house, which, at the time was located on a dam by the name "ofgivadam" (My neighbors were the Beavertons and the Woodchucks. We were located in the country of Great Mitten, where everyone had webbed hands). As I was getting out of the car, my head started spinning and all of time had stopped. That was the last thing I remember from that day, hey wait! I missed the sunrise, but the sunset has found

    Now this is where I`m supposed to write “all about me”. This is where I become lost. I mean, come on. I wouldn`t know where to start. But I guess the best way to have an idea what makes me tick and what ticks me off is by checking my journal that i fill with endless ramblings about whatever and whoever catches my fleeting fancy or rage. :)…

    Two years ago, on a cold Saturday morning, I prepared for my first ever track tryout. I took a shower, put on my clothes, and got into the car. On my way to practice, I felt strong physically, but I also had an undefined, jittery feeling about how the day was going to go.…

    “I DON’T CARE MOM!” I screamed at the top of my lunges. We were driving along I-95 on the sway home from my successful driver's license test. I was 16. I was normal. The radio played in the background but it couldn’t be heard over my mom yelling. This was the same crap I dealt with every day. I could have sworn that woman tried to find something to fight over: this time it was about how I should, “be more responsible” and “find a job” and “needing to grow up!”…

    The narrative, The Driver’s Seat struck home for me because I just received my driver’s license this past May, 2015. I took time for me to actually drive and to become comfortable behind the wheel of a car. This piece of writing spoke to me and allowed me to review some of the identical thinking points that I went through while getting to the point of taking control of my dad’s car. The story effectively walked me through the trials of spirit and mental anguish that preceded me in taking hold of the vehicle with my dad as the co-pilot giving directions. This was the exact thing the driving instructor in The Driver’s Seat‘ taught the author. The routine of how to maneuver and throw caution to the wind- taking risks- to get the author over…

    Most teenagers do not have a clue about what they want to be when they grow up. Most young adults also do not know where their path is in life. Even some full-blown adults are still trying to figure out their purpose. I was lucky. I knew exactly where I belonged from about the time I was seven up until now, at the decently young age of nineteen. I do not see my path changing anytime soon; in fact, I know it will never change.

There were lots of things I experienced in my life that made me realize my purpose, my absolute passion. I had four of these defining moments in my short span of…

    I waited fifteen and a half years for the moment I could get behind the wheel. Whoa. Driving the family suburban was more than what had I bargained for. I had aced the written test to get my permit because I had studied, but driving was a different story. It was intimidating to be behind the wheel of the car I had always dreamed of driving. I quickly got the hang of it after driving with my mom. I was ready for the open road but she made me start in a parking lot. In the parking lot I learned how to accelerate, brake, turn, and park. Once I had graduated from the parking lot I moved to paved roads and eventually the freeway. I felt I was ready and had the confidence that I needed to take the driving test.…

    There was always one major thought, the goal, a simple dream that made twinges of excitement flow through my body. The waiting was incredible, and it always seemed forever and a day before it would come true. This is a typical pre-teen, adolescent dream, yet it was as important to me as the sun rising. Nothing would ever top this, once I had it, no one could take it away. Getting my driver's license was only half the battle; the dream was to have my very own car. I wanted it and I dreamed about it everyday.…
