“Shall endow chariots with incredible speed, without the aid of any animal,” David Goewey was talking about SUV’s in a sense, but this relates to the Ford Mustang too. In the early 60’s muscle cars were huge with younger people (Goewey 147). Chevy and Dodge already had their muscle cars and theirs were big with this generation even the Pontiac Firebird was accepted to the muscle cars standards. But Ford was the only one without any type of muscle cars, this was when John Najjar pitched his idea of a car different than any other made, it was wild, free, fast, wicked. Ford’s Mustang first model was in 1964; it was revolutionary to the car world.
He did not have any outer clothing and was shoeless. Before the defendants left, they put Stafford’s shoes and jacket on the shoulder of the highway. Stafford wore glasses, which was in the car, but when the defendants left, they either inadvertently or purposely did not give them to Stafford. Michael W. Blake, a college student, was driving on the same highway at a reasonable speed and saw Stafford in the middle of the road with his hands in the air. Blake could not stop in time or avoid hitting him, therefore, Stafford was hit by Blake’s car and died.

Henry Ford was very famous for promoting this wonderful commodity that represented a new kind of freedom. It was a symbol of the American Dream, and everyone was striving to have the new product. “The automobile was the backbone of economic growth.” The first real automobile appeared in Middletown in 1900; however, it wasn’t until Henry Ford came around and created a mass production of automobiles that the machine that would provide easy travel would become popular. Although the automobile created such a wonderful freedom, many adults thought that it was tearing families apart. Teenagers were spending more time with their friends driving around instead of staying at home with their family.
Many of the acts these men participate in are odd and rather ridiculous: driving street illegal home made limos around London's busiest streets, and driving average Carolas through swamps hopping if they drive fast enough they will make it to the other side-are just a few examples of their craziness. The humor not only comes from their attempts but from their failures, often times shadowed by their cast mates harassing comments. I have found myself many a times laughing so hard my stomach hurts when James and Richard gang up and make puns about how Jeremy should 'abandon ship' now before he sinks to the bottom of the swamp with his car after trying to drive it at full speed into the water... only to get stuck in the middle of the murky
The more Earnhardt watched his father win races, the more it fueled his aspiration. One-day he gripped the steering wheel of one the stock cars. The older he grew the more an more he wanted to follow in his fathers footsteps in racing.
Over the years he eventually changed huge parts of his appearance to appeal to the ideals his father had in mind for his life. Michael’s father grew abusive to the point of perminently damaging michaels emtional stability. Growing as a kid star with all the emotional damage Michael’s father created left Michael with a void he needed to fill. A void that could only be filled by Attention and Attachments (Houses, elaborate lifestyle, Animals and Media.) As you can imagine these
In 2007, I was a passenger in a vehicle that was initially pulled over for speeding. After the officer, noticed an open container (broken seal) of alcohol. Immediately the officer wrote two tickets, one for the driver and one for the passenger, even though the privately owned vehicle didn’t belong to me. I didn’t argue with the officer due to lack of knowledge with that particular law and didn’t want any extra trouble. The officer neglected to write an additional ticket to the driver for speeding.
