If I had gone to sleep and woken yup and all of the cars and trucks had disapeard I think that would be somewhat good but somewhat not.I think it would get many people in shape because they would have to walk or run to there destination weather that be a job or a store or anything really.It would also improve the world because the gasoline would not be in the air. Many people would also have so much more money if they didn't have to pay for gasoline and cars and car parts.There are also things that would not be good about this.Such as many people would not be able to get to their destination over night or as fast as they would be able to by car.Many people would be mopre fit to do more things to help out the world.This would be an amazing thing to happen.I would just like to see peoples responses and what they would do if you took aray their cars or trucks.Much of the money that would be used for gas would go towards science and other thiongs so we could make progress in our society.There would be so much tyhat we could discover and research that we could be way more advanced than we are today.There is so much work that can be done if every one was in shape and able to work. I also think that people would live longer thatn they would because their heart would be in better conduition.Although we could do all of this will all the money we would spend on gas we would not be able to do all of this in a short amount of time. Because it takes time to walk or run to places to get the things and suplies we would need to make a progres in opur economy.Over all I think this would be a good thing.So if this did happen the world would not end,but it would increase.

I wouldn't really care beccause I dont drive anything or anywhere. I'd be mad though because my mom has to get to work somehow. Who knows?, maybe people will start driving their lawn-mowers to their destinations.

If I had gone to sleep and woken up the next day and all of the cars and trucks were gone .I would go crazy because when it rain every body would get wet and ever body would be stuck in the same place for along time .And it would take for ever to get to one place and back .And if it was really cold people would be freezing when they go out side and they have no choose because they have to go to work or they have to go to school .And if some body was in a life or death situation the person would die because it would take them so long to get to the hospital .And more people would die in the world because the paramedic's could not get there fast enough to save there life .So if some body came up with this idea they would be truly hated.

I believe my life would be complete chaos without cars! How am I going to get to school, because I refuse to walk that far. As strange as it may seem, I'd rather be at school than home. Plus I am obsessed with Parker's tea, and I would die without it. I live in the middle of no where. I have places to go and things to do, you know.

If I woke up tommarrow morning and all the cars and trucks in the world were gone, I would probely feel isolated. It would be so hard for me to see my family, because they live everywhere. Although I could walk to go see my Nana and Papa, I wouldnt be able to walk to see my Momma and sisters. You see my momma lives in Florida with my sisters. It would be really hard to see them if there was no more cars/trucks. Also my Grandma and Grandpa Flathman live in Nebraska. I only get to see them once every 3 years. Imagine how hard it would be to see them if there was no more cars/trucks. I always see my family and not seeing them breaks my heart. Because of me living with my dad, it is already hard for me to see them. It puts a huge strain on our relationship. Another thing is me and my dads favorite thing to do is sit on the front porch and eat watermelon and spit the seeds out to see who can spit the farthest ( its never me) and count how many red cars and blue cars pass by. Thats me and my daddy's quality time. I cant look at the future and not see me and my dady not doing that. It would also be harder to go to school and back. I am very busy all the time always on the road always in a car/truck. So if I didnt have them anymore I have no idea what to do. I would only get to see my momma every 2 months or so. I would almost never get to see my Grandparents. My life would be extreamly different. Even though I do love change, I dont know how I would react to this big of a change. My family is my life, without them I would be nothing. I would have nothing to look forward to in life. I beleive that you learn from your family and family is the most important thing in your life. That opinion will probely never change. So as you can see my life would change dirasticly if there was no more cars/trucks.

First of all, if I woke up and all cars and trucks were gone, my life would be crazy. I love to sleep in so, if I was late for something I would have to run to get there. I think it would help more people get in shape. Not so many people would be big and there lungs would be better. I go to Savannah alot and I dont think I could run there, if so it would take a long time. I do think it would be cool and fun to able to do that. I love to run, but not all the time.

The world would be a disaster if all cars and trucks disappered. It would take longer to get to school;when it rained then all of our supplies and books would get wet. Trucks and cars are a very important role in human society and to be honest I think that it would be hard to live without them. It would be hard to get to work in the mornings for those who live in Guyton or Rincon if they work in Savannah. If I woke up one day and I wanted to take a trip then I would have to walk there. It would kind of be a good thing also because it would be less pollution on Earth's atmosphere. It would also save the United States a lot of money.

Modern day life would be a disaster without cars and trucks. Why? A lot of people work in Savannah, therefore they couldn’t get to work on time. Unless, of course they woke up super early and rode their bike. That would be a hassle. I would have to wake up at probably 5:00 and by the time I got there, I would be very sweaty and nasty. You couldn’t play Rec. department football. The football players couldn’t get to their games. The basketball players couldn’t get to theirs. There would be NO competition sports. Only if you played your school against your school. Honestly I wish it could be like the olden days, when you had to walk everywhere unless you were very wealthy and owned a car. It would make you skinnier, yes, but it would be absurd to walk and bike everywhere. We would have to make the towns a lot smaller. Then I would hate it, because I live in the south Effingham district. I would lose all of my friends unless they walked to my house to hang. My driveway, alone, is one mile long!!! How would people get to college? Walk half-way across the country?!?! Heck to the no!!! Bye-bye education to that!!! Old western times. That’s where I want to be. Modern day economy and how people live is just horrible! I think it would change so many people’s lives, and not for the better of it. That is my lousy opinion on that so called “idea”!!! (whatevs to that homie!)

If I woke up one day, and all the trucks and cars were gone I would probley be perty shocked. Where would they have gone? It would be a whole lot harder to do stuff. If we had bikes or rollerskate or something we could use them,unless they disappered with the cars. People would probley be pretty lazy, and stay at the house for the rest of their life. That could get boring though. But some good things could come out if it too! People wouldnt get in horrible accidents! You wouldnt have 2 worry about your car getting stolen,or finding a parking space! It would be like back in the olden days! Back then people didnt have no cars. They would just walk everywhere they felt like going. But I guess it would be kinda difficult to walk places if you were going on vacation.Nobody feels like just randomly walking to Flordia just to see Mickeymouse for a few hours. And how would we leave the country? I guess we would be stuck in the US for the rest of our lives. Alot of people dont really leave this country, but if you really liked to visit other places it would be kinda hard. ALot of kids wouldnt come to school because noone really wants to get up even early than we already do and walk a few miles to school. So the school woundnt have very many people. So if we didnt have no cars, we would be pretty messed up.

If cars had to go away we would good cause are our plant would last longer, but not good cause no one could get to work. But cars are good in some ways like you can get to work, school, stores and a lot of other things. No one would want to go anywhere with out their car. But I will live close to my work so I can walk or ride my bike. So it's a good and bad thing cause you can do a lot of other stuff then drive a car. But I'm just saying. so it would be a good or bad thing.

If I woke up and there were no cars and trucks, I would be upset. I say that because I dont want to walk to school in the mornings, because I would have to get up even earlier. There are some good things about it. One good thing is that the over weight people could get in shape. Also it would kinda be fun to walk with a bunch of people to school. That could be some social time.Some bad things are that I have to travel around the country to wrestle and that wont be fun to walk. I dont have the money to take a plane, because you never said that the planes would be takened. So theres good and bad things about the vehicles being takened.

If i was at the store i would buy me some good stuff. I would like to go to the mall while in there because the mall is just like a store but bigger.So i would buy me some shoes and would get some candy.I would buy me family some gift cards and other materials.I would go to the car place to get me a car that is so nice looking.I would work at a mall cause it is a store and i would work day and night if i had to.I would go to tile max tile back just kidding.I would go to the store for a big trampoline and a bicylce and a motrocycle and other huge things.I would go buy a i phone i pad and other cool nice lokking stuff.I would also get expensive stuff for my family.If i went to a store.

If there were no trucks or cars in the world, that would both terrible and good. One of the reasons it would be good, is because the U.S has really large portions of food. We also have really large portions of people. What I'm saying is, is that we have alot of obese people. Without cars, we could walk and walk. That way, we'd burn alot of calories. It would make America more healthy. It might be bad though, because of alot of reasons. One of them being, we would have a very long way. It would take lots of time out of our days to walk everywhere.

If we had no cars, it would be chaos in our time. Well, I couldn't get to school. So, no school, no education. Then, my parents couldn't get to work. No money, no food, or electricity. This would force us to convert to wagons. Thats fine with me. That means we get horses,too! It would be better for our environment. It would heal our damage on Earth. Then, while we wait for another vehicle to be created, we could save oil. We would have more money because we wouldnt spend loads on gas. The economy could possibly get better with more money to buy things. We could also save money in that time while waiting for more vehicles. If we had to go somewhere far away, we couldnt go by car, so we might end up spending more money on a plane ticket. But, there would be more jobs. We could get more people to produce/make cars. If people start to like the wagon idea more, then jobs to create wagons would be open. We would lower the unemployment of people. The world would be less polluted and have more jobs again.

If I woke up and all the cars was gone I would be soo happy therfore we cant go too school, But it would be bad becaues we cant go to the store to get food and things thing that we need. But The school part , we would not have too wake up early in the mornin and if you really want too go too school you have too walk and if you care about it , but if all the car was gone the world would be very poor like moms and dads cant go too work and if they cant go too work then people cant ship things of too other place and we wont get mail too pay our bills and then our power and water would be off and then we cant cook or do nothing it would be like the old time days. thats why it would not be good if the cars was gone

If cars were gone we would be alot better off . It wouldnt only be good for the earth but good for our high school deaths . Because of cars and trucks me and many other friends/students and families have lost thier friends and loved ones . It makes you thin and wonder whos next . We've lost so many kids this year and most were because of car accidents . Cars are dangerous and deadly . I wouldnt mind losing them . Its better to ride a bike skatebord or skates in stead . They say most of the world is obest or over wieght so it would be healthier . Its also better for the earth . we are the ones who have to live here the next billion years and our children and childrens children so its better for our future also .our future and life would be better off with out them . For those of you who mind need to think about this . so if you were a smart cookie you would agree with me . The facts are all there . Im sure you wouldnt like the feeling of waking up the next morning and hearing that your friend was killed in an aciedent . I know i didnt . Or if you woke up and your world was falling apart . It woudnt be good at all . soo if we lost cares i woudnt affect me . Im okay with it . see you later !

If cars and trucks had suddenly disappeared yes it would be horrible but i think it would be better.I think it would be better because people would be healthier. People would be walking and riding bikes and things like that. People would also be moving and working their bodies all the time so they would always get exercising.The people would be happier healthy. Cars play an important role on our lives so we can get to where we need to be faster. That is the only important role I can think of other wise they are just messing up the universe.Cars also help with the groceries. People would not have to carry the things they bought from the store all the way to there house. The trucks help move more things place to place. I would have to walk every where. I would love to be able to walk every where. It would be cool if everybody would just be walking. If everybody was walking it would be like in the olden days. You would be able to see most of the people you know while your walking. If people had to walk they would probably eat better and get work done faster. think that most people would be happier if they were healthier.Some people think that cars are very important. Most people wish that they could walk every where. That is why i think cars are good and what i think it would be like with no cars and stuff like that.

If i woke up in the morning and all the cars had dissapered I wouldnt be able to go to school.If I couldnt go to shool that means you wouldnt be able to learn.If we cant learn we cant get smart.Another reason why it would me alfull if we didnt have any cars is we cant go places,and go and cant have fun with your friends or family.Also if we didnt have cars or trucks people wouldnt be able to work or make the money they are maken now.Wit out cars you would have a LONG walk.With out cars you could save alot of gas and money.If there are not anymore cars you wouldnt have to buy anymore gas ever agian.you have to carry alot of water not gas.ALl the gas station would probley go out of buiessness because there is not any cars.If u dog hunt you want be able to hunt cause you dont have a truck.So if you wanted to go some where you would have to walk

If I woke up one morning and all the cars had disappeared I would worry even more for the economy. How would Transport goods to other states and countries? How would people get to work? There are so many questions that would leave us unanswered. I wouldn't be very happy either. There would be good effects and bad one to. First of all people could lose some weight walking everywhere. The down poor is that we couldn't import or export anything unless we bring back the 1800's and hook a horse to a buggy. Not happening. I guess if we needed to survive we would. Drastic times calls for drastic measures. People hundreds of years ago did it and lived. So why cant we do the same? They were our ancestors. So we could do it. There would probably be some panic, but we will soon get everything under control. Thats what I think would probably happen!

Trucks and cars play one of the biggest roles in the country. They help us load and take things where ever we want to go. I mean it's not usual that you don't find a car on the street. They are common in every single country. There used in race tracks and all the things you can think of. I love going on trips and it will take me way longer to get there. In fact we go to Jacksonville next week anyways. So we gone have to get there somehow. Businesses sometimes use cars like construction workers and all that stuff. Schools even use cars and trucks. How you think high schoolers go to school every day. Also buses are cars ,but there just way bigger than average. Trucks are even used in trailer carrying. That's when you use a trailer to carry stuff. Trucks use gas though. Gas is the thing that you spend lots of money on. You spend about 2500 dollars a

If all the cars and trucks dissapaered the world would be able to regenerate the zone layer. Everyone would be able to lose weight also. I would enjoy it. The important role is that they help transport the products all over the country. And they make up the artillary in the wars. Theyhelp keep people safe to. And if they dissapaered, planes wouldn't exist either. We would still be picking cotton by hand, which is good. But if they suddenly dissapeared then everyone would be confused or they would act like nothing happened. We would still be walking by foot and useing ships with sails. The world would be healthy agian. We would have bows and catapults still. States would have to produce food by them selves becuase trucks kept them fresh while they were being transported to other states. So states would only trade ores. We would still work on farms and they would be everywere.

The world would be very different without cars and trucks. If we didn't have them at once, people would probably go crazy. Nobody would know what to do. We would have to completely change our lifestyle. Almost everyone rely on cars in some ways. They help us get were we need to go, and help us get most of our jobs done. Many people travel a long way to get to their jobs. We would have to create a new transportation system, and downsize towns and cities so everything is close. Since trucks have to transport food,everyone would have to grow their own food, too. Unless there was a big farmers market, there wouldn't be any food to buy from stores. We would have to ride horses, or we could discover some other kind of transportation to get around. Not to forget, many companies use cars and trucks. Farmers use harvesters and stuff like that. Other companies use it to ship their goods. That is just a few of things that would change. There are some good changes though. Those would be some hard changes, but without cars, we could change our planet. We would make it much cleaner

In todays life it would be horrible with out cars or trucks.Theres alot of people oh have jobs ,childen ,and other things.these people need to have a car or truck to get there, pick them up,or what ever they need to do.my point is Alot of people need cars and trucks ! Iknow all these old people say "we dont need of these new technology. back in the day we walked every where we went." Well fact is grandpa times arent they were when you grew up!people theses days have more jobs that they need to get to ,lets say we had a job in savannah, and had to be there at 6:30 in the morning ,if we didnt have trucks or cars,there no way we'd would be able to get there in time.lets also say we had children . and i just got fired because i got there late .How am i going to pick them up for school? or how am i going to take them to soccer practice? back in the day , you didnt have as many jobs, schools, and other stuff that we have now.okay that enough with the what if's for now. i am a student and i wouldnt want to walk all the way home from school.and i know my mom is not goning to give me a piggy back ride.back in the day they didnt live as far as way from school ether.and back in the day alot of people didnt get a correct education to learn how to bulid trucks and cars. so thats your fault for walking everywhere. so to all you old folkes who dont like all this technology ,"you try walking everywhere now days, cuz i no you have a car or truck ,or your just to old to move anywhere." how bout them apples?

Also, nobody could work because they have to drive to work. you cant drive to work without cars. People wouldnt be able to get supplies for their stores. Truck driving people have to deliver their supplies to them. This would be the same for reastruants. Many buisnesses would close down. Wal-Mart would close.Thinnk about it. Nobody would get grocerys. We would starve. We also couldnt get anthing other to drink besides water. The water wouldnt be clean. So you can see this would be a problem. No work, school, water, or food. Most buisnesses would close down. Let all automobles live!

If our world didn't have cars or trucks, I would probably be somewhat happy. I would be happy because I enjoy rididng my bike around town. I live close enough that I could ride my bike to Parker's or IGA. My mom could homeschool me, but it would be hard because we couldn't just go to Walmart and buy textbooks or something. We could of course get information online, but what would happen od the wifi broke. Who would fix it? There are also some downsides to this. It would be hard in life because my parents would not be able to work. They could work online, but I don't know how many jobs there will be after everyone floods the internet for jobs. Ideally, I would eventually not be able to go to IGA or Parkers because when they run nout of stock, they wouldn't be able to get new merchandise. This would happen because trucks bring the materials to the store. Also, everyone would try to stock up on things. This is when people who have stockpiles rejoice. :) But, we don't have a stockpile. :( We should really look into getting one. Cars & Trucks are MUCH needed in our modern America. I don't think us Americans think abput how much we use them. They are a key element to how our country runs. Without it, times would be very different. I greatly appreaciate cars & trucks. Thank You.

If all cars and trucks disappeared I would be mad. Some people would be happy because they would lose weight. How would we get to other states. We would have to ride bikes. We can ride planes but we have to get more money then we do now. Our economy is bad because of cars and trucks. We have no money from gas. Some things are good about no trucks and cars. We don't have to go to school. We can exercise more and people that's not over weight they wont be over weight. Well I want cars and trucks because it is easy to get to places. Were will our gas go. If we have sports how will we get a ride from there and back from there. This is way I wont cars so I can get some where on time.

If I woke up, one morning and there was no cars or trucks I would freak out. Since we all live in a small city there isn't many stores or restraunts. It would be very hard to get somewhere. We would have to walk or take a train. We would have to walk to school. The school is a long way away from my house.

In the modern world today, transportation systems serve as one of the most vital, if not the most vital, ways in which we operate our everyday lives, as well as the lives around us. Transportation systems, such as cars and trucks, don't only provide us with a way to travel to the grocery store or a job, yet they also provide us with a way to closely interact with the world (such as with trade between countries). What would my losses be if I were to awake to a world without any cars or trucks? I would have a considerable amount.

Well if I woke up Tommorrow and all the cars and trucks had dissappered; I would think it was good and bad. It would be good, because people will have to ride bikes; run, walk, or think of some crazy way to get from place to place. Also it would help fix our economy, because we would have to pay other contrys for gas. It may also help, with polltion. It would change my world, because it may help the world live longer.

Also It would be very bad for the economy, because so many kids wouldn't come to school. Also It would very bad for parents with younger kids, cuz they would have to stay home or take them with work. But the big point is. If cars dissappered. Then tere would be no transportation. And that is how wee get around today. But it could help out with the dieabetes. But if somone had asthma then i dont what they would do. But thats what i think of what life would be like. Without cars.

If i woke up tommarro after i had fell alseep and all of the vehicles had disapeard,it would be a good thing but also a bad thing.We need automobiles to transportate around.If there where none in the world then it would be harder for us to get around but also it would save us from poluting our world.Polution these days is getin bad and we need it to stop,but we also need transpotation to get to school,work,the park,anywhere in the world.It would change everyones lives,we would all have to ride boats or trains becuase there wouldnt be buses or trucks or cars to get us where we needed to be.Everyone would protest about this but if we didnt know who took them or where they were,then,we wouldnt be able to psotest.Everyone would find a way to make new cars and trucks.The world wouldnt end or anything but it would be way harder to get around.We would all be changed in a way we wouldnt be prepared for.I would have a problem with it becuase i do not ownm a car and im a kid an i could just ride a bike to where i needed.It would be a shock to ewveryone but it wouldnt kill them to go back to old tranpotation ways.It would elp the world and also help us.

I think if all the cars and trucks in the world just vanished it would be for the best.The global warming would basically vanish.The car industry would go kablooey so most supplies wont get to the place that their supposed to so the copanies would shut down.We woulld have to start using horses again and that would a awful since most people cant ride theyd be trapped.The people who did know how to ride wouldnt be able to get around as fast as usual and would be very mad.Even if the used bicycles they woulndt be as fast and people couldnt go to their faimilies.No matter if they could use a boat they would have so much fun.

It was terrible. I never thought it would happen, but it did. Every car and truck in the world disappeared. The whole family had to start walking. I know it is good exercise, but I got sick of it after a while. We had to walk to school and ride the bus to and from church and family member's houses. the good thing out of it was we got to eat allot of junk food because we always burned the calories. the sad thing was that the drive through no longer exists. The whole family was is shape though, and I was happy about that. Eventually, I got the hang of things. Later on, I thought, maybe not having cars or trucks isn't a bad thing after all.

If trucks and cars disappear then I would ride a bike. It may take a while but I will one day get use to it. Soon it will be normal. The bike might even make my legs stronger. If you live close to the school you can probably walk to school. You might even enjoy the scenery outside. I don't really live that close to school so I would probably have to ride a bike. That to me would be really fun. You can walk and talk to your friends or ride and still talk to them. The problem about this is that if it rains and you're riding a bike you could get hurt. If you are walking then you can use an umbrella but the ground will be slippery. For me it dosen't really matter even if I'm on the ground or on my bike I just have to be careful not to get hurt. I just have to carry a towal and another pair of clothes to school. I think life could be interesting this way. I know that some people think it would be miserable but I don't think so. If it happens you just have to go with it. Once you get the hang of it it could be lots of fun. It may help you in life. You should trust in God than to give up.

If i had gone to sleep ,and all the cars trucks had disappeared i would say,"Holy crap!!!!!!" "How am i supposed to get to school, now????!" i said. So now , my dad couldn't get to work on time. My mother couldn't get food, or go to see her mother who is in the nursing home. My family couldn't go on far away trips for vacations. we couldn't go/get anywhere fast. it would be hard to get to your relitive's house. you couldn't go to your friend's house. Finally, it would take longer to get, and come back from school.

If I woke up to a world with no trucks or cars, I would freak out. But eventually, I would have to improvise. I would just ride my bike to school. All parking lots would be replaced with tons of bike racks. I'd also have to get up super early because it would take me probably twice as long to get anywhere because I would be traveling by bike. No one would be able to carry around to much stuff with them unless they start to add on things like baskets to there bikes. But, adding things on bikes would just make the bike itself heavier. Then, you'd have to you way more energy to actually get the bike moving!

If there was no more cars then I would burst into tears. There won't be any more drive threw. You can make friends from the drive threw. It would just be a walk threw. People wouldn't get to work on time. It would save alot of people lives. There will be tons more of animals because there wouldn't be any road kill. People would loose there jobs. The drive threw people would have to suffer. The taxi people will also. There wouldn't be any more truckers. There would be a lose in tv too. IRT would be dismissed from tv, because there wouldn't be any more trucks. The bus drivers and road pathers will be gone. I will be very depressed if that happened. There wouldn't be anymore school. I change my mind I will be very thrilled. Then my mom or dad could go to work so, we wouldn't have any money. There wouldn't be anymore roads. There wouldn't be anymore gas too. There a plus and a minus to this. We stiil need car and trucks so, remeber to drive safe.

It would be so wierd if all of the cars and trucks disapeard . I wouldn't even know how to react . I wonder if it would still be bikes , because if it would , I would just ride a bike everywhere . I mean I'm used to walking different places , just not anywhere far . People would probably ride busses and mortocycles . It would change my life , because I'm so used to riding in cars . It wouldn't be that bad though . At the same time , It would be bad . How would people get to work ? It cost money for public transportation . I would drive a golf cart everywhere . It would be kinda cool though . I would have it customized just like a car . I would get a radio , rims , paint job , and leather seats . All of my friends would ride in it . I could give other people without cars , little rides to places they might want to go , like the dollar store . Yeah , but it would be wierd , because we're not used to not having a car or truck for transportation . And , I know it would be weird if someone from the 1800s saw a car , they would probably be scared . I could just think about not having cars and trucks in my life . I would try to build one . No , I would make some other kind of transportation , similar to a car or truck . It would be cool , but at the same time , it would be bad . I don't know how people who can't get around good , would take it . Maybe they wouldn't ever leave their house . I may never know .

Cars & trucks have a very important role in our society. For instance if I needed to be somewhere within an hours time span, I would easily get in the car & be there. They are a faster way of transportation. It may not be healthier or green as some say , but it's faster still. I f all the cars & trucks were to disappeer it could be good & bad in some instances. Good in the way that without them, we could go green. More people could walk places. More people could ride bikes. It would save our planet. We wouldn't have as much pollution that the cars & trucks give off. No more accidents, which would be good. Like I said though, it could be bad. We would have to get up earlier to get places. It would take a longer time. No more running late, you'd be like an hour late. I for one do enjoy walking & riding my bike, but if it's cold I won't like it. If it's really hot i won't like it. Just certain things are bad. There wouldn't be as many overweight people, becauyse they'd be walking everywhere. As you see not having cars & trucks have good & bad consequences.

If i woke up one day and cars and trucks were non-existant any more, my world would be crushed. I mean doesnt every kid want to drive a car or truck when they turn 16. I know i do, i have driven befor, even though im not old enough. Its a total rush! But i think most of that is from not wanting to get caught i mean pulled over! My parents knew about it, and i had my favriot person ever with me my uncle, but I would stil be in lots of trouble by other people . And my uncle would be to. If cars and trucks had like disapeard off the face of the earth, it would honestly suck. Kids my age are already thinking about what kind of car or truck they want when they are old enough. Now what would we have to think about. And what about them Nascar people, what would they do? They make a living from something they really enjoy. So what would they do, just start racing on golf-carts or something? I dont think so. This world needs vehicles. If we didnt have them anymore, i would invent something pretty dang simalar, im not lazy, but im not walking from place to place everywear i go, do you know how far of a walk it would be from my house to the mall ? Well you woldnt want to do it i promise you! If i couldnt invent something like it, then ill get some crazy spiritual lady to bring leonardo de'vinci back to life or something. But i can tell you one thing if there wernt anymore cars or trucks the world would be skinny as them twigs you pull off a tree. Plain and simple , the world needs cars. If not, it wouldnt be a pretty world, sorta!

If all the cars and or truchs were gone, I would freak out. Their would be many problems with this. First, you wouldnt be able to come to school. I ride the bus. No cars, No busses. That also takes out my parents takeing me to school. The couldnt drive me. Also nobody could get to work. The olny way you could is if you worked really close to work. You would still have to walk though. Other than that no way. Also, big buisnesses would close down. Wal-Mart would close down beacuse they couldnt get goods. They relly on semi-truks to get their goods to them. No cars, no semi-trucks.

I think a world without vehicles would be good and bad at the same time. You can save gas and protect the earth from pollution. The fumes of gas is one of the main pollutants in the world. Also, there would be less obese people in the world. because of exercise, everyone owould be fit and healthy. It would also be chaotic. You wouldnt be able to travel as much because you would have to walk everywhere. Personally, I couldnt live without them because I am excited to learn how to drive and I would like to travel the world one day. That dream would be alot harder to do without vehicles. It was a struggle back in the old days to travel. We would have to learn to drive a horse and buggy, and almost everyone would own a horse and have to care for it.

Without cars and trucks our world would be completely different, and not in a good way. We use cars and trucks for lots of things. We mainly use them for transportation and without them alot of people wouldn't go anywhere because they wouldn't want to walk. We also use big trucks to haul things to different states. Without big semi's we wouldn't be able to bring things to other cities unless you make several trips with a horse and buggy. That wouldn't be good. Everyone would have to start driving horse and buggies again. Those arent very durable at all. Cars and trucks last alot longer. The wheels always have problems through rough roads on horse and buggies. Cars and trucks dont have that problem. Also I wouldnt ever be able to drive a car because if they took them away now lots of people havent started driving yet and never will get to so thats unfair. People also uses cars and trucks for fun like racing, etc. I personally like having cars and trucks. For right now I would have to walk everywhere. I probably wouldnt be old enough to drive a horse and buggy.

If all cars had dissapeared on the earth, and there was none left alot of people would be affected. Some would have to walk miles just to go to work. Others would have to walk from and to school. Alot of people would be mad. I would have to walk to schoot and have to walk back. Also I would have to walk to the store or to visit family. Also if people didnt want to walk they would have to ride a bike. That would also be hard to do, because many people have to go long distances. Some people would not be able to go to the store or go visit people. Some people may riot, and cause trouble. Others may kill. It would be hard to get cars back too. So if this was to ever happpen, and there was know fix it would be very bad. So I hope this will never happen.

If i went to sleep an woke up the next morning, and there were no vechicules, i would be highly upset. These automobiles play a very important role in our life. They also are a vitial part of our economy. The thing that would upset me the most is if I had to walk to school, and different public places. If it was humid outside walking would mess my hair up, if it was hot i would sweat, and if it was cold i would freeze. Just think to yourself 'How many places do you go a day in the car?' Do you honestly think that you could survive without these in you life?! Also, if you live way out in the boonies thean how would you get to McDonald's or fast food resteraunts. That would be a very long walk! Deep down i believe everything would slowly start falling apart. People would not be able to get to the things that are nessacary, because nobody really owns horses anymore to take them places. So how would you get to the hospitial if you are n need of medical attention? Also the economy would drop incredibly! There would be nobody purchasing these vehicles to make the economy improve. So these are nessacsary in everyday life!

I think that we need cars and trucks. Because if we didn't have them we would be stuck walking. No one likes walking. Or we would have to have houses and that cost money. Car people, mechanics and dealers, would not be able to service without them. Trucks hall things like equipment and food. You would not have a job. Some people drive trucks for a living. You would not be allowed to have alot of heavy things. Trucks help with alot of things. They are very helpful. If I woke up tomorrow and there were no cars or trucks it would take forever for me to get to school. And everyone deserves to have a college and high school education. You would not be allowed to get a job. Because if you don't you will not have any money. No money means no future. Besides living in a box. No one needs to do that. We would take days to get from place to place. We all need to have cars and trucks. We would be lonely without them.

Goodness, what would we do without cars. Humans have developed this disease called Laziness. There is no way around it. I even have this disease! Honestly, I don't know how people would function without cars. We depend on them so much. We need them to deliver our mail, get to school, work, food, absolutely everything. My life would be totally different! I take a bus or car to school(depends on when I get up), I take a car home, to go to the store, to go to my dads, to go to church. I take a car everywhere. Our cities and towns have expanded because the houses have gotten spread way apart. Can you imagine walking from the Pinora ball park to the school? It isn't happening. Or even walking from Pinora to Wal-mart! I cant live without cars. But, then again, it could be a good thing. If we were all forced to walk everywhere, the obesity rate would go way down. Also, gas prices nowadays gas is so expensive, so if cars are out of the equation the you save like 50$ a week. And in this economy, we need all the money we can get. Think about this, pollution. A lot of the air pollution is from the exhaust from semi's and cars in general. Can you imagine the air being almost clear and safe to breath?? Maybe cars going away isn't such a bad idea. The con's of losing cars isn't as long as the pro's. I think I'm going to go out tonight and steal everyone's cars and dump them in the ocean. If your car is gone in the morning, I don't know who did it.

if I went to sleep one night and woke up the next morning with no cars or trucks I would wonder what happen to them and where did they go. After that I would go outside and smell the fresh air with out the gas. I thinke it would be good because it wouldn't poputate the air and there would be more money for the people so they'll be abull to buy bikes to ride to work or they could walk to work. They'll be in better shape they'll even eat better to stay in shape.

If I woke up one morning and there were no cars or trucks I would problubly freak out. For one I wouldnt have anyway to get to school. Which I would be happy about that, but then I would be mad to. The reason I would be mad is I would have to get up at like 5 o-clock or even earlyer. Also me and everyone else at school would be all hot and sweaty. Plus that would just be bad for everbody. Also it would be bad for adults to because they need a way to get to work and back. They would also be be hot and sweaty, and have to wake up early. One good thing that eould happen if there were no cars or trucks is there wouldn't be as much air pollution. If that did happenwe could always go back to the buggy and horse. So I just hope that I dont wake up one day and all cars and trucks are gone. That would be horrable.

If cars and trucks suddenly dissapeared,how would life change? I think this would cause a major change in our lives. For this reason you would need to take a survey of everyone who has and doesn't have a car. Make sure you do this with those who have a learners and license. Due to the fact those with out learners and drivers license can't drive.

one day I woke up ,and I got ready for school. When I walk out my house I notice my mom car vanished. I thought someone sttole it ,but then I looked around and there wasn't any vehicles anywhere. I told my mom ,and she turned on the news. It had a huge report about the cars being gone. Also school was cancled. People was going crazy. China said they could build enough cars to replace everybody car. People want somebody to pay them for there car disapperence.people were firious. The president came on the tv. He annouced that everyone would have to buy a new car when they go back on the market. In less than a couple of hour people were rioting. They was busting window out of building. Tearing down everything. It was pure chaos. The police came and tried to stop it ,but their attemps didn't work. I just sat home and watched it all on tv. It took a while, but the president gave in and said people can get replacement cars for free. It. Seemed like a good thing ,at first. The country went into huge debt. Taxes went up on everything. Other country was threating for war. Citizen started running out of money cause of taxes. It was horrible.
