A re you old enough to drive?
Probably not. Driving is fun.
Cars are quick and convenient.
You can drive them everywhere at
any time. What is your favorite
car? Do you like fast sports cars
like Porsches or beautiful cars like
Jaguars? You could also choose a
limousine. People ride in limousines for special occasions like parties and
weddings. They have lots of room. They are very long and have dark
windows. People like limousines because they can take many of their
friends. Riding with many people is fun. Limousines have a lot of space and
are comfortable. You can watch TV and movies. Limousines are very nice,
but they are expensive.

Sports cars are also very popular. Most men love to drive sports cars. They
are very fast, beautiful, and have great colors. Men love to drive them
because they make them look good. They are not big cars. Only two or three
people can ride in them. They are not as comfortable as limousines.
