The car of the future
The Cars of the Future In the last few years there has increased the amount of famous ATV’s here in Puerto Rico. The problem is that here in Puerto Rico they are illegal to drive on public roads because they are not very safe and they are for just one passenger. Lately there have been a lot of accidents because of people that does not use their gear and run at velocities where losing control is inevitable. The government has put laws against them and they are trying to eliminate them from here. Still, I really think that the government of Puerto Rico should legalize ATV’s because of many reasons such as: violence decrease due to the fact that there are fewer assassinations on public residences because people are uniting and sharing the same passion for ATV’s, less fatal accidents, and fuel efficiency.
First of all, what is an ATV? Well, an ATV is an All Terrain Vehicle designed to withstand rough terrains and extreme conditions, almost unbreakable and most important they are practically small. ATV’s, or better known as four tracks, are small vehicles that they are used for entertainment and for competitions worldwide. The ATV’s come with only one cylinder engine which means that they are super effective on fuel economy. They are a bit expensive because even dough they are so small the materials for its designing are very expensive. They require a safety gear such as: long hard boots, chest cover, hard gloves and a helmet, the bigger the better, all these are if in case of an accident you will have the minimum amount of physical

injuries, due to the fact that ATV’s can reach very high velocities nearly to a hundred miles per hour. They are safer than a motorcycle, which in fact are legal, because ATV’s have four tires and motorcycles only have two, this means that balance is greater, also the amounts of fuel they consume are low so the amount of contamination are way less than a normal car. “Statistics shows that on the United States 46 of 50 states

    Sport utility vehicles, better known as SUV's, propose a hazard to other drivers on the road as well as their occupants. In addition to being unsafe they are also harmful to the environment.

    Benefits Of Buying ATV

    The rest of the time he’ll have it parked either in his garage or outside, and after many years of owning it, he will have more money to it than what he purchased it for, from repairs, gas, tires, etc. That is called a liability, which takes money out of your pocket on a regular basis. But there is another way to buying ATV’s which puts money into your pocket, it’s what I have come to learn over the past year. I like to call “flipping wheelers.” Let’s take it out of context again: Meet Johnny, he just got his paycheck also and is looking to buy a reliable utility ATV, with $1000 cash to spend, however, Johnny is looking to make a profit on the ATV he buys. He then finds a good deal on one, with a low retail blue book of $1200 and a high retail of $2100. He purchases it for $900 cash, refurbishes it for $100, now having all his money into it. He turns around and sells it a month…

    Our country has long had an obsession with the automobile. The designs of the sixties and seventies remain fond memories that still dominate our garages and car shows today. Nobody can be anybody without owning a car in today’s culture. It is a status symbol. Our society equates bigger with better. The bigger and more expensive the car you own, the higher your status must be. Everywhere you go there are Escalades and Navigators. They are America, writ large and thirsty, 14-miles-per-gallon gas-guzzlers driven alike by cool dudes with sunglasses and suburban moms with mocha javas and screaming kids. Now, with the price of gas going through the roof, and with every expectation, given the global hunger for oil, that it will go even higher, consumers are responding by going smaller and smaller. With the oil tycoons enjoying ever higher per barrel revenues, consumers, the very same ones who are now tightening the belt on all spending, are walking past the trucks and SUVs that have for so long been profit staples of automakers (Prosser). This is the makings of a shift in America, the shift from large, gas-guzzling SUV’s (the current paradigm) to small, fuel-efficient compact cars (the new paradigm). This is not an anomaly, but a major shift in both perception and behavior, a paradigm shift.…

    Motorcycles don’t posses many safety features that protect their rider. A car contains seat belts, airbags, four wheels for stability, and more; these are important features that help reduce accident and fatality rates. These issues only add to the main problem which is the drivers themselves, I am talking about both motorcycle rider and automobile driver.

Motorcycle safety is something not only riders need to be taught but other motorists as well; educating the population can not only reduce accidents but save lives.…

    Traffic jams are the bane of any commuter. Many of us spend an hour or so stuck in traffic every week. The growing population is partly to blame for our congested roads, but the main problem is that we are not expanding our transportation systems fast enough to meet ever increasing demands. One solution is to create a new type of transportation that doesn't rely on roads, which could one day make traffic jams a 20th century relic. To do this, we must look to the sky and water.…
