4. In a paragraph, write a short synopsis/review of what it was about.

It was about, how steamed powered cars were made and the quality of it. And how it was performed.  And it talked about every single little details that were put for any preventions.

Would you buy one?

Would you own and drive a steam powered car?  Why/why not?

In my opinion I wouldn’t buy or own a steam powered car because the toxic fumes release toxic gases, and release a huge amount of pollution. And not just that it could sometimes be dangerous especially the ones that were first made in 1906. 

What are the pluses and minuses to the steam powered car? 

The minuses of a steam powered car people had to buy them all in cash no deposits were allowed.  They also refused to make an advertisement about the car. The pluses of a steamed powered car is that it turns on easily compared to any other cars. And it had a built in safety device to prevent the boiled from exploding.
