One of my favorite cars of all time is the 1968 Ford Fairlane 500. The main reason I love this car is because it was my dad’s very first car. Also this car has never lost a race. Hes faced chargers, challengers, camaros, chevelles, and mustangs, basically everything. This car only has a little 4.6 or a 351 Windsor. But my dad had a ford 351 Windsor. That’s the engine I’m getting in my ride.
One of my favorite parts of this car is the weight. I mean this car barely weighs 3100 pounds. That’s what gives it its speed. Plus it handles better through the slalom course or on the road. Also it doesn’t make the engine have to haul all that weight to the finish line. Probably the best body style for the Fairlane is the fastback. Well that’s just my opinion but some of you guys who is a Ford fan you may prefer the regular style. Another reason I like the Fairlane is…..Well if you’ve ever watched speed TV, (pass time). They had a Fairlane on there and it was so fast! I think it got a time of 7 seconds 3 something seconds. That might not be correct but I know it was a fast time.
My conclusion about this is you chose the car that’s right for you. You decide. You may get a junky car but if you put a lot of time into a project, it will be something you will cherish for the rest of your life.

Muscle cars
There are all kinds of muscle cars in the world that have great value and great horsepower. But only one is the all time eye catcher, and thats the 69 Ford mustang fastback. This muscle car was a beast in the late 60's and also had one of Fords greatest engines like the 429 cobra jet. Now theres something that will envy other drivers.
Also there was a great in the 80's but it wasn,t really a muscle car, it was a pimping low rider. That car is the Buick Grand National. You may know this car from the movie Fast and Furious 4 at the beginning of the movie. The one thing about the car that astounded me was the way it could drive backwards the entire scene of the beginning. The Grand National is the only Chevrelet type vehicle that I like.
Now this last car that was a beast in the early 70's. It was a Mopar type vehicle, and its the Dodge Challenger R/T. You may know this car from the movie Vanishing Point. The one and only thing that astounds me about the Vanishing Point car is the engine. The engine was a 472 magnum! Now thats huge!

My Favorite Cars
One thing that I love is talking about cars. The reason I wanted to talk about cars in my blog is that cars are my passion. Ever since my dad bought his 2006 Foose mustang in 2006, I’ve been hooked on cars ever since. I’m always on the computer looking at YouTube to listen to the sounds of car engines revving and racing. Of course I usually listen to Fords revving and racing.
My favorite car of all time is the 1967 Shelby GT500. Now there are a lot of Chevy fans out there but this car is a movie star. This car has been in the movie of 2000, (Gone In sixty seconds). The sound of this car is immaculate. I actually have a scale model in my room of it.
There are all kinds of cars in the world that I like except one; The Chevrolet. One of the biggest reasons why I really don’t like Chevy’s is that they’ve had to get bailed out so many times because no one wants to buy their cars. Also when they get their money from bail they just use it to try and make even more useless cars with really goofy names like the Chevy cobalt. Who wants to name a car after a tool? Honestly? But Fords ford focus gets 41 miles to the gallon while the Chevy Malibu gets about 32 miles to the gallon.

First semester portfolio- Piece i'd like to revise
My dad’s car.
The piece I would like to revise is my Haiku and my paragraph about my dad’s car.
A genre is a short story. It’s about my dad letting me drive his mustang out in Letcher. When I tried to start it I was so pumped because I wanted to go fast but I relised that I let my foot of the clutch so I had to restarted it and we were off. Its an unforgetting story that i'll never forget. Its a time when my dad and me spent the greatest time for a joy ride.
It’s about my dad who let me drive his car for the first time and what I did and were I’ve driven to. At first I really didn’t get to know how the stick shift was tuned on it because it was my first time. On my dad’s truck, I know the stick shift on that really well. The car is more high racing tuned, my dad’s truck is more off road tuned.
My ideas all come from my family and what we have done in the past. This story of my life was one of my favorite times in my life.This story came from me driving his car over the summer to help with his back surgery because I didn't want to make him walk a mile to get to his car. Thats really the only thing I thought about all the time besides school work.
How I would change this is I would read over and over again and just make it perfect because I got like a 90 somthing on it and I was shooting for a 100. Also I don't think I had to many awubis sentences in my paragraph.

First semester portfolio- favorite piece
Fun with Stewie
A genre is a short story. It’s basically about my older sister letting my family take care of her dog for a week. Taking care of her dog we had some great moments but there were some disadvantages also. One of the good parts was that Stewie,(Jill’s dog),would always cuddle with you and give kisses all over your face.
It’s about taking care of my older sisters dog for a week and the relationships we shared.
Taking care of Stewie for a week changed the way my family lives their lives. For instance, having Stewie around kept my dad from smoking for a week. That’s a good thing. A week can do a lot of things to your life.
It’s my favorite thing to talk about because it’s the only thing that meant a lot to my family in a long time. My family doesn’t have very much money to do things but it’s something that we can do together.
Basically all my ideas come from my family or past vacations I’ve had. But this idea was the only story i could think of wright off the bat. At first i tried to talk about a fight my dad and i got into with some guy at a gas station.

First semester portfolio
First day of seventh grade
When I first walked into the 7th grade language arts room, my knowledge about English just sky- rocketed. I din't even have a clue what an awubis is or imagery was. I learned as I first got into Mrs. Moege’s room, I learned so much about vocabulary and what not.
What I learned about myself first semester was, I thought that I was the only one in the room. But I knew some kids that went to school with new last year. I also didn’t know if I could make any new friends but I did. Actually all of the kids in my class were great kids and fun to be around. I've made friends with all of them.
I need to keep working the hardest I possibly can and keep reading.Because my reading pages right now aren’t too good ill need to keep working on it. It’s an average like 300 pages but that’s still good.
