You have failed.

[95Blue240sx]

hahah thanks.....FOR NOTHING!!!!!! :bash: :hyper: :duh:

[CustomS14A]

But your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye...
Let's get crazy drivers give them good car's and see what they can do with it...

[CustomS14A]

Just say that zeal coilovers drift for the car and not the driver...

Or just copy from your friend next to you...Ha Ha :fart:

[TheSnail]

Last topic, tell them your thoughts of where the whole scene may be in 5-10years. Thats a good way to end the speech.

Think McFly Think ! !

Lots of people seem to do their school papers and projects on the 240 stuff. I know its interesting to you and all but you would have probably been better off with something that actually has some concrete info rather than the, "I heard that supposedly...", stuff that you will sometimes find here.

I agree and I'd be willing to bet that there was a bevy of kids doing their school projects in similar fashion on import drag racing a couple years ago... Coupla years from now it'll be something else...


Back on-topic: You waited til the last day to ask for assistance on a topic that draws flames from people NOT trying to do something (if only at least) constructive with it... I say approach it with whatever half-assed information and shoot for a D, use the result of your procrastination as fodder for a lesson learned for next time. But for now? :Owned:

[95Blue240sx]

hahaha. i was just looking for more topics to talk about.

that is right about the whole "i heard blah" but hey its a fun topic to discuss and the visual aids are pretty cool. its not really the last minute type of thing, im just starting the outline, which isnt due till monday. rough is due today.

[TeamRush42]

:Ownedd: do it like this....

"....and for the last part of this speech i need all the ladies in the class to stand up....." then look at your teacher and say....

"...these ho's are coming with me for a field trip....." then take the girls out to the parking lot and start putting on a drift clinic for everyone to see!!!!

make sure you tape it so the teacher can show future classes,,,,

#WARNING#...this may cause expulsion...but who cares!

Actually, i did do a 15 page research paper on drifting as a transnational subculture for my Anthropology 499 class, got an A- on it. Very proud of myself =p

[95Blue240sx]

where did you get info to cite? im now looking for info/articles and such.

[MakotoS13]

if you can't b/s your way to an A with this assignment you deserve to fail. cause that's all it is, really, b/s.

[anthony240]

haha! I did a paper on Initial D for my writing class. the instructor wanted a fictional story or whatever. seriously! I got an A, haha.

[Phlip]

I got an A on a report about the 95 suberbowl in my 10th grade honors english class from the most hardassed english teacher in my high school... I also did a report on Ernie Davis, the first black man to win the Heisman trophy at syracuse for my US history class in whatever the fuck grade I took US history. I actually went in depth with that one, being a Syracuse fan and all. Ernie Davis was at 'Cuse AFTER Jim Brown, broke ALL of Brown's records and shit, then he died from complications of Leukemia when HE go to the NFL, while Jim Brown goes on to a hall of fame career. My history teacher cried while she was reading it and gave me 100 on it. DAMN high school was a long time ago.

[TheSnail]

I made it to tenth grade three times, before I gave up. Though I was there only for the Breizies.

here i'll help you out:

historically:

http://www.atlasf1.com/99/aus/kalb.html
on that page about 1/2 down. it's a article about the drivers of old F1 racing. go to the section 'the pre-war drivers.' here's a quote:

"Nuvolari is credited with perfecting the controlled four-wheel drift, the dominant method of cornering through the early 1960s, until modern suspensions, and later down-draft technology, changed the cornering characteristics of racing machines."

2ndstage: you can some some bs about how it became a competition in itself in japan and came over. i'm sure there are plenty of BS internet articles you can quote for that. it'd be interesting to discuss how its ingrained in japanese culture and its literally a lifestyle over there.

3rdstage: talk about how its being gh3yed out in the US, b/c certain aspects of the culture here suck ass. "imma hardcore driftah J0" - but finish on a happy ending that there are ppl who are seriously into it and not for the ego - and its like a lifestyle for them too. sileightymania.com, nadine180.

theres ur report

[MakotoS13]

driftin... its like a lyfstyle y0!

you want us to write the paper for you too? look, you suck at procrastination cause you obviousluy aren't resourceful enough to handle the last minute crunch so just stop being so lazy. people like you need to learn to work hard early.

[95Blue240sx]
