reDOING THE hybrid car
For this project we built a car; not any car. A better car. For my old car, we used a really long car, but this time we used a shorter car that used more power, but went farther. My last car was quite heavy, using 2 x 4 and pipes as axles. Now we used particle board and PVC as wheels.

This project was really fun because we got to do something we already did before. Last time I did the car, it didn't turn out so well, but since I learned from it, I can now make an even better car. Time was an issue during this project because finals were in between the project, so we had to stay after class to finish up our project.
