Competition

The big day is coming up, and we are freaking out! The Comp. is on Saturday. We have only two more practices until the Comp. We think that everything is coming together now. Recently we visited the Demontrond Volvo dealership to learn more about the City Safety System. We got to take a test drive in the City Safe Cars, and one of the men there, Mr. Trentini, kindly ran it into a few barriers for us, with us in it! It didn't even touch them, and Mr. Trentini didn't even touch the steering wheel. We also learned of more technology built into the new cars, like a camera in the back for reversing. The image form the camera is showed on a screen in the car, and it shows yellow lines on the road, showing where your tires will go. This helps to keep the guesswork out of reversing. Also some models have cameras on the rearview mirrors to eliminate blind spots.

This is a post from Your Mom! (like my signature?)
See Spot. See Spot run.
C4. C4 RUN!!!
