Product Description
On the surface, this book is about teens who live in the country and their various forms of transportation. In reality, this book is about young adults and their cultures, because vehicles play an important role in the social interactions of teens. For most rural youth, living apart from mass transportation, cars and other vehicles are critical to getting back and forth to school, work, and social events. Rural teens living on farms or ranches also use trucks, ATVs (all-terrain vehicles), and snowmobiles for work purposes.For many teens and their families, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and ATVs provide recreation as well, and for still other teens, their vehicles enable them to participate in legal and official race competitions. Some teens pour their time and energy into customizing their rides, so transportation becomes art and part of their identity. For a few teens, souped-up cars are a source of kicks; they put speed ahead of safety with sometimes-tragic results. For various reasons, cars and other vehicles are important to all these young adults. This book will tell you how and why! ... Read more

Excerpt: Off-roading is a term for driving a specialized vehicle on unpaved roads, such as sand, gravel, riverbeds, mud, snow, rocks, and other natural terrain. One example of an off-road SUV, in this case a Jeep Grand Cherokee, in action These terrains can sometimes only be traveled by vehicles designed specifically for off-road driving (such as heavy-duty trucks and equipment, SUVs, ATVs, snowmobiles, motorcycles, mountain bicycles) or vehicles that have extra ground clearance, sturdy tires, and in some cases, front and rear locking differential. Examples of vehicle manufacturers notable for producing types of off-road vehicle (ORV) include AM General, Land Rover,and Jeep, although most vehicle manufacturers have some sort of off-road vehicle in their current range. Trucks are often fitted with these extras by default. Furthermore, the military usually design their vehicles with off-roading in mind, such as a Jeep or HMMWV, or buy them from off-road manufacturers, such as Land Rover, which has produced cars for the armed forces of many countries. In some parts of the world, especially in Africa, off-roading is the normal form of transport. In tropical countries, unpaved roads can attain "off-road" aspects during the rainy season, when extra gears and four wheel drive can become desirable or even necessary. In Western countries the term is frequently used usually more specifically for recreational pursuits. Recreational off-roading is popular among a sub-section of the owners of four wheel drive or all-terrain vehicles and motorcycles. T...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1039392 ... Read more
