New Cars and Old Cars

New Cars and Old Cars

Cars have changed in many ways since cars were introduced to the world. Car manufacturers have made many advancements from safety to the looks of the cars. My first car and my dad’s first car were completely different. My dad had a 1965 Ford Mustang and I have a 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse. There is a 37 year difference between his car and mine, and his didn’t have all the luxuries mine had like power steering, or power windows, CD player, or an air conditioner. His car was tougher than mine, and it had more horsepower which means it might have been better in a crash and probably went faster. My car probably has more things you can add to the body and engine like body kits, or air intakes especially since Ford might not make parts for that model Mustang anymore.
When cars were first made, I’m pretty sure that they didn’t have near as many safety features as the new cars today. When the first Ford Model-T came out, it probably didn’t have seat belts, air bags, or any of the safety features that protect us today. In this generation, you can find a car that is built just for safety. Some cars now have air bags that come out from all sides to protect passengers and they also have cars where when someone gets in a wreck it automatically calls the police. You can have other modifications that keep you safe put in your car like alarms or even bullet-proof glass, so you can tell safety has became an important issue over the years.
Ways you can change your car’s appearance have become big over the years too. When cars first came out, people weren’t worried about how their cars looked or what you could put on it to make it look better. Just how there are cars that are made just for safety, there are cars that are made just to look good. They make all kinds of things drivers can add to their cars like body kits, spoilers, different lights, different mirrors, and different looking rims or bigger rims. People can paint their car, their rims, or tint their windows different colors. There are all kinds of things you can do to your car now, so it’s evident that looks have become more vital to people.
Lastly, cars have succeeded over the years by the advancements in speed. Cars like the Model-T probably didn’t go faster than fifty miles per hour, if that fast. Now some cars today are able to go 200miles per hour or faster like the Lamborghini Murcielago which has a top speed of 224miles per hour. There are cars that are built just to go fast. For almost every different type of car there are different things you can do to the engine to make the car go faster. There are air intakes, cold air intakes, exhaust systems, turbo, supercharger, Nitrous oxide, and chips which make it go faster or increase the acceleration. Car companies even compete to see who can create the fastest car, so speed is another thing that has changed over the years. Car manufacturers are thinking of new ways to make their cars more safe, better looking, and faster every day. I only talked about those three types of cars. There are all kinds of cars for example, you have luxury cars, electric cars, and fuel efficient cars. There is even a whole different category like trucks, bikes, and sedans. Cars have changed so much over the 100years that cars have been around and I’m confident that they will keep changing while we are still on this earth
