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 reviews about his cars. He shows what the vehicle looks like all around the exterior and interior. When he gives his interior tour, he shows what it looks like at every inch of the seats, door panels, dashboard, and more. He also shows how child seats fit, how the infotainment system works, and how it drives. When he sees how it drives, he gives letter grades based on how they compare to other vehicles in their segments.

I unfortunately do not have time to tell you everything about them right now, but I am happy to tell you more about cars on my capstone website. Thank you for taking the time to hear about this, and I hope to see you again soon.

    Interesting topic to present on! Are you merely reporting on Doug's commentary or also developing a stance that either argues for or against it? If the latter, how would you do so visually? How would that personal interaction or lack thereof affect the impact your final project has on the audience?

The Fox River at Night

I thought it might be good to see what the Fox River looks like at night since that is when people are less likely to walk through it. Of course, it is much darker, and there are lights on in the parking lot at Eagle Point Senior Living, and you can see the lights from the building itself. I also took pictures of the river up close by the path where they did it. It is nice to see the difference between the Fox River during the day and at night because it can give you an idea of what the differences in the environment are. When you see the difference between the flash and night vision because it helps to see which one is brighter. It looks like the pictures are brighter with flash because there is a light shining on what is in front of the camera, but things are visible enough when the camera is in Night Vision Mode. The nice thing about seeing a brighter photo with the flash is it helps to see the photo better with lighting. The nice thing about seeing the photo via night vision is it

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

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
