It struck him as curious that he could run at all on feet so frozen that he could not feel them when they struck the earth and took the weight off his body. He seemed to himself to skim along above the surface, and to have no connection with the earth. Somewhere he had once seen a winged Mercury, and wondered if Mercury felt as he felt when skimming over the earth.

     This paragraph stuck out to me because of how London could put into words the feeling of numbness. I have searched for a long time to put those feelings into words, but have never found them. He also used one of my favorite subjects, Greek Mythology. He did so by using Mercury as an example. Everybody who knows Greek myths Knows Mercury is the messanger god. He flys from place to place useing winged sandels.That is why I noticed this paragraph.

     Many people will build a nice hot rod and keep it, while others will build something just for the joy of the work and sell it soon after finishing to finance the next project. Brent Jackson is an example of the latter. He built a twin-turbo `57 Chevy and a `69 Camaro, and after selling them both, had the funds (most of them anyway) to buy his dream car, a midyear Corvette. He ended up finding a wrecked `65 with, in his words, "almost no front end and a bent frame" for a reasonable price. Because it needed a lot of work, and because he had fiberglass experience from working on boats, Brent made the decision to alter the car the way he wanted to, with some custom tricks to give it a modern look.

     I liked this paragraph because it is the intro to athe story of the remodle of a classic car. It not only shows that you need time as well as money to build or rebuild cars. It also shows what a guy will do to get his dream car. I know if I had to, I would learn how to build a car from scratch just to own a Ford Mustang G.T.500. This  paragraph shows what a man will go through to have the car he wants.
