do a comparison of the general population of nico compared to 240 gen chat..i think that would make for a really well done paper, could even get your phd on it.

This is the most retarded idea ever.

Compare S13's and 14's? You have the mental capacity of a AA battery.

Our education system is the product of it's students. That's why.

If you like drifting, write about it's origins, and then explain how drifting on the track has advantages over street drifting. Use examples of current drivers.

i thought it was the other way around, where the student is a product of public education.

I'd love to read these papers btw. I'm just wondering how indepth you're making them, because they might be really detailed or really really short and crappy...

There have been a lot of these types of threads lately. Lots of kids doing some kind of project based on their 240's. I'm still waiting to see how that mosaic that kid was making turned out. If you do an sr vs. ka-t paper, you have to post it. It will cause a huge feud!

You should write it on something that actually matters and I bet you will get a higher grade. I love cars, but I sure as hell and not going to write papers comparing different body styles, lol.

Want an interesting topic? Political themes always strike interest.

If your teacher does not care about what you are writing then by all means write what YOU want to write about.

Your teacher just wants to make sure you are understanding and applying the shizzle she is teaching you.

Trust me, you will be more motivated to write a paper on something you are interested in.

Good Luck.

One Love,

Yeah id say either ca/sr/ka or the usdm/jdm papers, or a piggy/chuki. If you wanted a shorter paper though maybe like the redtop/blacktop.

I had the same class last semester and all my essays were about cars or car parts. My compare and contrast essay was rwd v. fwd (thats front wheel drive not four wheel drive). I have to say I was a little biased
