My car's better than Emma's
by: Dennae Miller
Opinions Editor

Slimy lime green spray is not what I would consider the ideal color of any car to be and who would want to drive an '86 anything? Something that old has to be held together by prayer and maybe some cheap glue. Emma Hunt's car's got nothing on my reliable '91 Dodge Shadow.

First of all my car is a symbol of my patriotsm and alliance to our nation. I'm proud of my American made car. Emma's Honda Accord is one of a few signs that she may be a communist or even a supporter of evil doers! Real Americans drive cars that are made on our own soil.

Emma may be able to fill her tank with only fourteen dollars but does she get the benefits of a work out when entering and exiting her little green nightmare? Because of a previous owner's neglagiance the door hinge on the driver side is cracked. In short this causes me to climb over from the passsenger seat to the driver's seat. So if you spot me by myself and I'm getting out from the passenger side it's not because someone else was driving!
Pink shag carpet barely belongs in a house (unless it's owned by Elton John) so why attempt to put it inside a car? Unless Emma plans on living in her sloppy little Honda I would advise an immediate overhaul of the retro interior. Only a few people are willing to ride around in my fanatstic Shadow (my boyfrined whom I adore, my cool little sister, and my girl, Courtney Kessler) but at least I don't attempt to make my car a flashy eyesore.
When It really comes down to it my car has more face value because I paid more for it (kind of anyway, it's really a charitable donation from my older sister and former AHS student). The hundred dollar difference can be interpreted this way; Emma's car stalls on hills; is prone to just give out and completely stop, has to be started by pumping the gas petal instead of the brake, and driving at night could lead to her demise because she only has one headlight! All the information above is not fabricated. If you have any doubts whatsoever feel free to roam the parking lot.Sooner or later you'll have your encounter with Emma's car and when you do you'll think to yourself, "wow, what a piece of crap!"
