Matter of St 4e Having a car is an alternative to the big yellow limousine. Whether one's car is a newer firebird like senior Jim Paradise s or the basic transportation like the classic Mound-Mobile owned by junior Barry Bolton, one's car reflects one's inner personality. But there are those who have no choice in what they drive. It is either the folks' car when it's not being used or bumming a ride off a friend. Mo one knows which is more embarrassing. But one should be thankful that they're not driving the Beastmobile, rest it's soul. It is a teenager's dream, a teenager's freedom, the ticket to the world. A car is every sophomore's dream and every senior's monthly bank payment. Although having a car may seem like a dream, there's a lot more involved. first of all, a car needs to run so there is the expense of gas. Gas prices rose and fell as much as the stock exchange did. Most car owners depended on the under a dollar price per gallon as they budgeted their car expenses. Secondly, the unexpected Uh-ohs always emptied one's wallet. A new battery can cost up to eighty dollars, while a new muffler can cost anywhere from seventy-five to two hundred fifty dollars, for the unfortunate who total their cars they can kiss their college education goodbye. SENIOR SYMPATHIZES. Generous senior Chris Erhart giving neighbor sophomore Amy Albert a ride home, stops to talk to fellow teammate senior Curt Norton. TOUR WHEELING.
