Conclusion

Cars have always facinated people throughout the world. The different countries throughout the world have made various models of cars. Most of the design of the cars are influenced by the culture of each country. They are all unique in their own way. We use cars to travel to and from work and entertain ourselves. You can also say that having a car is living the fast life.

Students. Congratulations on completing this Webquest. You finished a fine race.
