So, given that everything I've learned so far has been documented in prior postings, I'd like to spend some time describing the target audience and the finished product. Ideally, the people who would benefit the most would be people that who were in a similar position to the one I was in a few years ago; those who want to work on cars, but possess only a rudimentary understanding of them, or perhaps not one at all. Thus, I'd like to share my project with other people who need help beginning--and possibly ending--work on a 'project' car. In terms of characteristics, this applies to everyone of every age group--as long as they're old enough to hold a wrench and to read! I've met people who are 17 and utterly brilliant when it comes to cars, as well as older people who are somewhat ignorant of the entire process. So, given this characteristic set, I think the most effective way to share this information would be over an easily-accessible blog (e.g. blogger) with pictures and possibly video.


 Again, this blog will contain written-out step-by-step instructions (with pictures) on how to complete tasks from the mundane to the extraordinary on a 1987 Toyota Supra. My product that I'll be presenting in class will describe how to change the spark plugs on a 1987 Toyota Supra--an easy job on most cars, but an incredibly difficult one on this.

Finally, I believe that I've done enough research to complete this project: I've been a member of forums and groups on Facebook for nearly a year now, and beyond that, I've rebuilt the engine on my car. Thus, with the exception of major electronics and body work, I'm intimately familiar with the mechanics of my car, and I believe I can confidently explain the different processes. Regarding this project in relation to class, I believe that it relates quite well as it's using technology (the internet, blogs, pictures) to convey ideas and teach.
