Final Project

  I have done a lot of research on cars overtime, and I am looking forward to doing more. There are more people to get information from than just Doug DeMuro. There is Auto Buyers Guide, the Fast Lane Car, MotorTrend, the Kelly Blue Book, and more. When I look at those websites, I think about what details they have and what they might be missing. One thing that many reviewers do not talk about is reliability because it is difficult to predict how well-maintained the car will be without needing to go to the dealer or a mechanic for maintenance. When looking for cars from Doug DeMuro, I got to see a lot of his opinions on various features of the car, style, driving dynamics, practicality, and value. He also gives it a DougScore based on those things and a few other factors. Once he does that, he shows the DougScore on a chart with other vehicles that one would compete with. Doing so helps to see what the score is for the best cars. Auto Buyers Guide shows Alex Dykes giving detailed r

Project Update 3

Image
  Doug DeMuro is a YouTuber who reviews cars, and he auctions cars online. In his reviews, takes the viewers on a tour of the car, he takes it out on the road to drive it, and he gives it a DougScore. He owns a lot of cars which I can see a car enthusiast doing because they love working with cars. It helps me to see his videos because I like to see what kinds of cars he would recommend. During his videos, he has an exterior tour, an interior tour, a view under the hood, the drive section, and a DougScore. He shows the features and styling on the exterior and how they work. He shows the style and features on the interior and how they work. He shows the engine under the hood and how it works. He drives the car out on the road to show how it drives. Finally, he combines those things to give the car a DougScore at the end. The DougScore consists of two different sets of categories, those being the “Weekend” categories and the “Daily” categories. The Weekend categories are acceleration,

Project Update 2

When I was thinking about what to do for my blog, I thought it might be good to show how it relates to consumer culture. When shopping for cars, you should think about what to do as far as getting the right car goes. There are many differences between different cars. Not just the styling, but also the interior space, and features. When you look for a car, think about what you are looking for, why you want those things, and how much use you would make of them. There are plenty of features that are useful, but they are expensive, and not everyone will make use of those features. Features that the Ford F-150 Lightning has include things like a large enough battery to use as a power generator helps in a blackout, and it helps to be better for the environment. Gasoline trucks use a lot of gas and pollute the environment more than electric vehicles do. Of course, EVs are more expensive, but at least you would not have to go buy gas. When you look for a car to buy, you can often think about t

Lecture Reflection

Eric Garcia  When I saw the lecture, it was not surprising to hear that he had to work around political prisoners when working on his drawings. It can be hard to work on paintings when so many things are politicized, even if you do what a majority of the people around you agree with because there will always be someone who goes against your views. I have views that most people around me agree with, and I work with others to see what they think. When doing so, I get to have the opinions of others, and they help me see what I can do to work with what a majority of the people around me like. When he made murals of calaveras for the Day of the Dead, it looked good to me because I knew they were important for the memories of their ancestors who got them there. Looking back on my ancestry is important to me too, so I can see why they want to do it as well. It is important to know how your ancestors got you where you are today because you otherwise will not know how you got to where you are

Haas Cars

Hi, I am Andy, and I am working on a project about cars. When I watch car reviews, I look at how the features work, I think about what features are worth buying, interior space, interior comfort, practicality, and how the car drives. All of those things are worth thinking about when you are shopping for a car because there are features that are good for the car so you can see how much of each of those things would be best for you. When it comes to interior comfort, think about passenger space, cargo space, seat comfort, and shape of the cargo area and passenger area. Check to see if tall people will fit in the car, if it is accessible for everyone, how much cargo would fit in it with the rear seats in place, and how much cargo space it would have with the rear seats folded. It is also important to think about how comfortable the seats themselves are, and if they are, that means people can sit there comfortably for a long time. When it comes to the way the car drives, there are also

Badlands Environment

Image
I was in the Badlands of South Dakota in the summer of 2021, and it was a breeze. I could not believe they were called the Badlands because I liked it there even though there is no water you can drink there. I hiked across various paths, and I found interesting patterns in the mountains there. There were various hills and mountains, and they had things like cacti there. When you look at the badlands, it is quite dry, but there is plenty to look for. I hope you get to go there one day if you are interested because it is fun to hike around in places like this. I hope you get to visit places you would like to visit, including the Badlands because it is fun to be there even if they are called the Badlands. They only call the place that because there is no water you can drink there. It is a fun place to hike though, and I got to see what prairie dogs' habitats look like there. It was also nice to see what other animals' habitats looked like there too. I hope you get to visit a place

Andy's Passions

When I first started thinking about the project, I thought about making a video telling you about myself, and I wanted to describe myself in even greater detail by showing you what I can do, showing you how I do it, and showing you how passionate I am about doing it. I can teach you about my passion for cars, and I can teach you about my passion for music. I watch car reviews, I do choir, and I do one on one voice lessons. I love all of those things because they are all things that I enjoy doing because they fit in with my interests. I know which car is which model most of the time, and I can tell whether it is the current generation or a past generation. When I was walking along the sidewalk on the side of the road, I named each car that was parallel parked, and I sometimes described a few things about the cars. When I point out a car from a past generation, I look back on what it was like to have a car from that era, and I think about how times have changed, and there is a place wher
