We had to create a new word in my English 1C class. So, here it is:

Excitemental Fuel Ecstasy in Smiles Per Gallon

When the vehicle is a Volkswagen Bug then the perceived desire is Economical Fuel Efficiency measured in Miles Per Gallon. However, if the vehicle is a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray then the perceived desire should be called Excitemental Fuel Ecstasy measured in Smiles Per Gallon. Some people may think it is undesirable to have a vehicle whose gas gauge visibly moves when accelerating onto the freeway, or passing a slower vehicle. Those same people would gasp if they noticed that the driver was grinning and laughing while it was happening. They may believe that the driver was mental. Well, they would be right! More specifically the driver would be excitemental!

Excitemental is a more physical form of mental where the external conditions stimulate the nervous system of the human subject until wide grins are visible. Some indications of this excitemental condition are loud exclamations of phrases such as, “Woo Hoooo!” and “YYYYeeeeaaaahhhh!” Other indications that a subject is infected with this extreme form of mental abnormality are frequent visits to auto parts stores. Parents of children suspected of this infliction should be checking the trash can for tell tail signs such as receipts for High Rise Manifolds, Uni-Lite Ignition Systems (though Mallory and MSD are other known suppliers), GM Goodwrench Crate motors in the 500 cubic inch range, and lots of fuel receipts. And, an extreme condition is evident if a search under their bed reveals a chrome plated side pipe chambered exhaust system with a 2.5” inside diameter cross-section.

This condition is very contagious so be cautious when someone grins and asks you if you want to ride with them in a Corvette Stingray, because the next thing you know you will be watching the fuel gauge move and smiling like there was no tomorrow. Signs that you have been infected are passing a truck in your own vehicle and wondering why it is taking so long, surely the speedometer is broken cause you have had the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor for over 3 seconds and it still reads under 70. Another sign is pulling into a parts store and not knowing why, then going in anyway and buying a key chain or tire cleaner after spending thirty minutes looking at the chrome and high performance parts.

I'm hoping to get an A from this paper...what do you think I should get?
