There are many things in the world that still need to be discovered and learned about. Every day we take so many things for granted because as long as we know it will work for us we don't care to take the time to understand on how it works.

("Who invented…") Cars today are being modernized and many new ways on how we can make them better fuel-efficient. 1920's cars compared to today's car were larger and much heavier which can be bad because they used more gas. The car consists of over one thousand different pieces that make the car turn on to the wheels moving forward. Every time when we get into our cars we don't take the time to understand on how all these pieces work together to get you to be you need to go. I knew finding out more about the car would also help benefit me in knowing if something ever goes wrong with my car or anyone else around I would know how to respond and help.
