Cars are a symbol of 8 Student L freedom. It is important to keep them running well so they can serve their pur- pose. Some people leave it up to their parents to take care of their cars. Other students prefer to work on their cars themselves. HI put all new stuff on my engine to try to pre- vent problems, james Fowler said. Cars are essential to many students.

Little Rock is too far to ride a bike, Lang Kirsh- berger said. On Geyer Springs, cars are status symbols. Trans Ams, Firebirds, SpOrtSCarS, and other good looking cars are favorites of the cruisers. I like Geyer Springs be- cause I like cars alot. That's where anybody with a nice car or truck goes. I see it as a place to show off what you are proud of. It's kind of like a moving car show, Larry Thompson said. The engines still roar and cars are a big part of life. For necessity, and for fun, cars are much more than just a set of wheels. More than just a set of wheels? A car be- comes a chair as a bunch of the guys re- lax together. Cars often become a cen- terpiece for everything. ife
