Corvettes

Everyone dreams of owning a beautiful all American sport car in a life time. The answer to that question is the Chevrolet Corvette.
The Corvette was first introduced to America in the early fifties. Harley Earl was hired at GM to create the latest designs for Chevrolet; he decided that after WWII America needed a sports car because all the soldiers returning had purchased many foreign cars and were bringing them to America where there was nothing to compete with them. This lead to a whole new plan to creating a new car; the first corvettes were simply almost like a normal corvette car and would not compete with any other sport car. The car was simply on a normal Chevy frame and had a 2speed automatic transmission. This car needed much more improvement and was about to be placed on the back shelf for later design until a woman, named Arkus-Duntov, introduced a three speed transmission with the V8 engine in 1955.
It was after this that the second generation of corvettes was born. The door is now back open for better and faster improvements to the car. In between the years 1963 and 1957 the C2 Sting Ray was introduced. This car had several improvements from the first generation. This was the decade when Chevrolet introduced the “Big Block Engine”, the car also had something else that had never been seen before, for example the side exhausts system, also the coupe version of the car was introduced making it a new and very collectable car in 1966.
Many more improvements were introduced from 1968 to 1982. In these years the engines were bigger and are still getting bigger till this day. The main thing that changed was the body style and GM wanted to keep it a secret but the release of the hot wheels toy car gave it away. This helped the interest by drawing people to the new and improved designs.
After researching just this much about these cars, I have really fallen in love with them. Just knowing that someone had taken the time to create en all American car to fulfill the American Dream. This shows that people can really do something if they just put their mind to it.

My Favorite Movie

Yesterday when I got home from work early, I expected for it to be a nice relaxing night watching movies or even just T.V. with my boy friend, but we all know that we cannot have everything our own way. It all started when I found out that he was going to go somewhere today and would not be home until Friday sometime. I would not have minded so much if I had to work. But I didn’t, so I grew very angry—and I still am—but life goes on I guess.
When days like this happen and I just need to escape, and my escape is to watch my favorite movie Sweet Home Alabama. Every time I watch this movie it makes feel like this is a true life lesson on how life does not always turn out the way that you want it too. It also reminds me that there a few sweet, nice looking gentlemen in the world, and also it just makes me feel touched every time and it brings me back to reality all in one piece.
Sweet Home Alabama shows me that life does not always turn out the way that you plan for it to because in the movie Mel left Alabama to become someone besides a house wife. While in New York She falls in love but does not revile her past about her already being married. At the wedding Mel’s lawyer shows up to tell Mel that her divorce was not final simply because she forgot to sign the divorce papers. When discovering this Mel feels that she has already given her heart away one time and cannot do it again. This proves to me that no matter what you plan in life it may not always turn out that way because your heart always tells you which way you should go.
In the movie it also shows me that there a few nice looking, charming, and sweet gentlemen left in this world. During the movie Mel’s Fiancé from New York always surprises her with sweet little jesters all the time for example in the beginning of the movie he sent a rose for her for every time that he thought of her. He also for gave her for not telling him about her past and still loved her for who she is. This shows me that it is possible to have a McDreamy, you just have to look for him and he will come when the time is right.
Every time I watch this movie it brings me back to reality showing me and telling me that no matter what you want to happen in life you should just make the best of it. When Mel is in New York she has a wonderful wealthy kind of life, but she is trying to hide her past of who she really is. But in the end it shows that you should just be proud of who you are and don’t try to be someone that you’re not.
In conclusion this is my favorite movie and my escape from reality for a little while then brings me back for when I need it the most. This is a great movie and can make a girl feel as if she is the most important person in the world.
