So, how many of you dream of the first car you will own? Well, in this assignment, let's pretend that you just graduated from college and your super-generous parents are going to buy you WHATEVER car you want! However, you have to pay for gas with hard earned money you will be making in your first job :) In this 15 point assignment due THIS Wednesday October 8, your job will be to figure out the following:
1) What car will you buy and why?
2) Google your car, go the car's website, then find out:
a) How many gallons does your gas tank hold?
b) How many miles do you get per gallon (mpg)?
3)Now you can figure out how much will it cost you to fill your tank. Use the link below to find local gas prices.http://www.gasbuddy.com
After I'm out of collage, the car I would want my parents to buy me is the new 2009 Honda Fit!!! Some reasons why I really want this car is that is has a lot of storage space, and just in case I get in a car crash, the Honda Fit has a 5 star crash rating and high levels of standard safety equipment. This car also has a USB, which is a system that you can plug your Ipod or MP3 player. Since I'll probally get lost once in a while, this car has a GPS built in to it!! The Honda Fit comes in many different colors like blackberry pearl, blue sensation pearl, Crystal Black Pearl, milano red, orange revolution met, storm siler metalic, taffeta white, and tidewater blue metalic. I think I wuold choose either the orange revolution met or the tidewater blue metalic. The best thing about this car is that it gets...34 miles per gallon!!!! The not so good fact is that it only holds 10.6 gallons, but thats okay because I would get a lot of miles per gallon. When i go to college, I want to go to Florida State University and become a marine bioligist. So right now he current price per gallon of gas in Florida is about $3.51. So by doing the math it will cost me.....only $37.21 to fill my whole tank!!! That's really cheap compraed to what we pay now. I will work extra hard to earn this car. Now I need to get a job to pay for the gas cost!!!:)

Lindsey - I love your car choice! 34 mpg is great and will help you to save money on gas (if you really get this car :)
PS- I love David Archuleta too :) He should have won!
Hi Lindsey - no big deal - you can take the test when you get back! Don't worry! We will miss you in class though!
That is a cool car you would get and it would save you a lot of money at the gas tank. I also think that the job of marine biologist would be really awesome. Good job on this entry! :)
sweet! I love orange! my sister want to be a marine biolgiost too!
