English paper help
Im doing sports cars, heres my into...true story.....
There I was sitting in the cockpit of a brand new 2002 Acura
RSX Type-S. As my hands gripped the fresh leather steering
wheel, I knew this was going to be an experience of a lifetime.
My body was held perfectly in place like glue by the Recaro racing
seats. When the keys were handed to me by my neighbor who
works for Acura Motors, my eyes lit up like a child on Christmas
morning. When I placed the key into the ignition and turned the
200 horsepower beast over it didn’t make a sound: it made
music. I then had a permanent smile on my face that you couldn’t
wipe off. I then placed my foot on the gas pedal and revved the
engine to its 8,000 rpm redline the vibration of the engine sent
tingles down my spine. With the car on and my foot on the clutch
pedal, I placed my right hand one the shift knob and when
through the gears. The short throw six speed manual
transmission shifted like a warm knife through butter. At the time
I have never driven a manual transmission car before, but I do
race dirt bikes that have clutches, so I wasn’t worried the least
bit. Then my neighbor Rob instructed me to pull out of my
driveway, and I did it the first time and didn’t even stall the
engine, I was so pumped. For the first time in my life I got to
experience the power and performance of a sports car. It was
actually the first car I ever drove, so after that experience I was
hooked. I took it slow for the first couple miles and then Rob told
me to “punch it”. For the first time in my life I began to
appreciate the difference between a sports car and a family car.
The sports car has the ability to accelerate so quickly it’s
unbelievable. Also when pushing it through the corners you tend
to notice that the RSX refuses to go off track of you’re
destination. It was almost like the car stuck to the road like
glue. After that day, I knew what I needed to do. I saved up all
my money from working and bought my very own sports cars.
Every time I drive my Acura Integra(the RSX is the predecessor to
the Integra), I get that same exact feeling. The invention of the
sports car didn’t necessarily mean a lot to everyone, but it means
a great deal to me, and that’s all that matters. The invention of
the sports car loosely relates to the longitude problem of the
17th century in many different ways.

wOah fellas. How about some constructive criticism? That IS what he asked for isn't it?
Maybe not everyone excels at writing papers, especially a freshman in college his first semester...sheesh!
Skelly, I thought you started out the intro pretty damn well. But then it seemed to stray, like you were searching for things to be said rather than having them flow from the accompanying thoughts/statements. Good start, put a bit more effort into the thesis statement, you were using too many of the same phrases:
1.) "The invention of the
sports car"......"The invention of
the sports car loosely"
2.) "For the first time in my life I got"......."For the first time in my life I began"
Think of different ways to phrase these repetitious sentences. And use less "I, I, I, I"
IMO, you need not go into as much personal detail as you are.
Hope that helps, good luck cause I hate writing papers. My g/f has a bunch of classes that are writing intensive, she keeps asking me to help. I refuse
