Hellaflush

Back when the movie Fast and the Furious barley came out most people wanted to improve the their cars by putting body kits on them and spoilers and rims and all that good stuff. I have a friend that has 3 mitsubishi eclipse just like the main car in the movie and each car has the same look. They first had 2 of the cars that they put money into and put body kits and other stuff and then one day we were on craigslist and found the same car but with everything they wanted. It had a body kit and a system and great interior and exterior. But now people are in the new trend and stop doing that and are trying to hellaflush their cars. 

The meaning of hellaflush is hellaflush simply means having the wheel flush with the fenders. This is usually achieved with the wheel offset or spacers and usually requirers a good deal of negative camber. This is a style that is growing at a very rapid pace. It originated from drift cars that were low and had wide wheels pushed out as far as possible. It is also very popular with VIP styled cars as well. The term "Hellaflush" was coined by fatlace, and is now one of their brands and the name of their most popular string of car shows. It seems they are slowly learning toward " slammed society"for a brand name. But Hellaflush is here to stay.

assignment #15- integrity

Do I have integrity? I asked my friend Alexis and she said I do. I was just reading the definition of integrity and basically the meaning of it would be Honest. I would consider myself to be pretty honest about things but I don't really like to lie about things. According to alexis I have integrity or however you use that word in a sentence. There  things that I am honest about and then there are the things that I am not very honest about. I also hate when people tell me things about people that I cant say and then I hang out with that other person and they are talking smack to.

Blog 22- Thanksgiving

 My long Thanksgiving break was great! What I did over the long Thanksgiving break well Wed.  helped my mom take everything out of the house so that we could get new carpet. We emptied out our house so that the carpenters could put in the new carpet. Well that took up that whole day. then

Thanksgiving day We got ready made a whole lot of food and had fiends over that brought over even more food. I had starved myself since the day before so that thanksgiving day I could stuff  myself until I could not eat anymore. There was so much food laid out on the table I all looked so good. Afterwards I went over to my friends because they invited me over to eat with them and eat a lot more.

Thursday night me and my friends went to go to shopping centers to see the lines for black friday and ended up staying at Best Buy

    Smoking 

    My opinion on wether smoking is good or bad? I think that smoking is a terrible thing to do because most of my friends smoke and I never see them not smoking and when I tell them that to me it seems like they are addicted to smoking they either deny or get upset with me. I think that they are just going to end up getting addicted to them and hopefully they will realize that they are addicted to them. Hopefully I don't get in the habit of smoking since I am always around my friends that smoke and I have asthma.

assignmen#1- Risky Online Behavior

• Change it up. If something feels like it might be getting risky, it probably is. But if you're not sure, try changing the subject, making a joke, or saying you want to talk about something else. If you still feel pressured by or uncomfortable with the situation, you need to take further action.
• Log off or quit. You need to remember that at any time you can just stop typing and log off if a conversation gets uncomfortable online. You can also take action to block or report another user or create a new account - whether for email, IM, or a virtual world- to avoid contact with that person again.
• Know that it's okay to feel embarrassed or confused. It's not always easy to make sense of situations that make you feel uncomfortable online. Nor is it easy to ask for help if you feel embarrassed about what you've experienced. These feelings are normal, and it's okay to talk about them.
• Talk to a friend or a trusted adult. Don't be afraid to reach out. Even if you feel you can handle a tricky situation alone, it's always a good idea to turn to friends, parents, teachers, coaches, and counselors for support.

assignment 8- Stranded

The first thing that I would wanna have with me if I was stranded on an island would be a house so that I could have shelter for when its cold or if it rains. Also what if there are beasts on the island i need to be well protected while I sleep.

Second item that I would have with me would be weapons so that I could have something to use to kill whatever I am going to eat or to keep for use someday. Also to protect myself from any dangers.



The last item that I would bring with me would be clothes so that I wouldn't be walking around naked or having to make clothes out of leaves or whatever. Also so that I can keep warm on cold rainy days.

Assignment #4- Dream School

The college I would chose to go to would be University Tech Institute. I would like to study mechanics because I am really into cars and I wanna now more about them and I want to open my own shop. Why I would chose to go there right after high school would be because its close to my home. Its some where in Rancho Cucamonga my friend also wants to go there so we can carpool there and back. A lot of gas but it will be worth going there. In my ROP class that I am in one the teachers that teach there came to talk to us about their school. He also mentioned that in less then A year and a half his son was earning twenty dollars an hour working for the Mercedes Benz dealer. That was only the minimum wage and right away that caught my attention. There it is the school that I want to attend after i graduate High School.

blog assignment 10- happiest place on earth

The "Happiest Place on Earth" for me would be my house. Because there I can do what I want whenever I want without anyone telling me what todo. Also because other people are less fortunate and don't have a place to call home. At home I can do what I need todo and be happy and never get upset. Like if you go somewhere and they say your under aged or your not tall enough well at my house I can do what I want without anyone telling me what todo. I could also bring friends and chill hangout watch movies without having to show an I.D. because we are underaged. Since my house is pretty big I can have as many friends as I want to have over. Well anyways I love my house and everyone that lives with me. And that is where "My Happiest Place on Earth" is

Assignment 6- Being Charitable

A charity that really means something to me would be Books For Africa. This organization has one priority and that is to collect, sort, ship, and distribute books to the kids of Africa. They ship over 27 million books to 48 different countries in Africa.


Why does this mean a lot to me? Well because there are a lot of kids that I know that don't take school serious and jus mess around instead of learning . Well theres kids in Africa who would want to take there place and actually want to learn so I would donate 1 million dollars to their charity so that they could get the education they deserve.

assignment 5- politics

Do I follow politics? No not really. I would identify myself as a democrat. I don't think my parents are a registered with a political party. No I don't plan on voting because I don't like to chose between people. What issues are most important to me would be MONEY! If I had to choose someone to be president I would chose Obama because he has been our president for the past 5 years.

Blog Assignment #3- Expertise

What I am an expert at? To be honest I really don't now what I am an expert at but one thing that I am terrible at is school. Well I know a lot about cars and fixing them and pars and accessories for them but I really don't know how to put in a new or rebuilt engine or how to take it out.

 That is something that I have always wanted todo since I was kid destroying toys and taking a part bicycles but then putting them back together making them better. Since I have always wanted to buy a car that doesn't work so that I can restore and put in an engine custom built by me and make the car look all crazy and fast to take to car shows and car meets. Basically just dedicate most of my time into it.

About two weeks ago 1 started a ROP class Automotive Technology that will show me and teach me everything I can possibly now about cars. Its also where  I am gonna do my internship. They are gonna send us all over the county to go On the Job Training so we can experience working with professionals and there work field.

Assignment #2- Favorite?

What interests me? Well the one thing that really interests me would be cars and mechanics. Why because since I was a little boy I have loved destroying things and putting back together. Same with cars I want to assemble them piece by piece thats my dream. Next week I start my a ROP class about mechanics.


Over the summer I bought a crappy 99 Volkswagen Jetta. What makes the car crappy? Well its just in bad condition. The water pump wasn't working so the car would heat up and because of that it ruined the radiator and the sensor it has inside. Since water wouldn't flow right it would burst out and some how it got into the motor oil and ruined that. The day I bought the car I parked it in my parking at my apts and since we need a sticker to park in the parking lot my car got towed for two days. I didn't have the parking sticker because it was to late to go to the managers house and ask for one. Well the point is that when they pulled my car out they ruined the front axle.

Well I just want to learn More about mechanics then I already now so that every time my car breaks down I can fix it and wont have to pay some to do for me. That is the one thing that really interests me the most.  

Assignment 1- Summer Vacation

What I did over the summer? Well at the beginning of my summer I really did not do much except hang out with my girlfriend and friends. We mostly went to boomers every other day because we had bought the 3 month pass. It lasts up to 90 days and we are able to use it everyday for 4 hours.

Towards the middle of my summer I got a job working at store over at The Block. Since I had started work I was saving up my paychecks to buy a car and I did for about $2000 but it turns out that it was the worst mistake I made ever because I had to invest more money on the car because the engine wasn't working and because the car got towed from apartments in total I spent over $1000 or more on getting it fixed and its still breaks down on me.

The last month of summer I had been going to the beach almost everyday to get a tan. Well that was my amazing summer.
