    I posted here a while back asking for some help with info for a research project on Ferrari and am all finished it now. Just incase anyone is interested here it is, I would love to hear some feedback...good or bad (its already been marked so I don't care either way). Some of the info may not be excatly correct, but I think its a fairly strong piece....keep in mind it is for a first year university class. Thanks guys!

    I probably would have focused on the fact that until recently, the average annual mileage recorded on any given Ferrari sold was 3,000 miles/year....compare that, and fuel consumption over those 3,000 miles, with a SUV driven 15K miles or more annually....

    Or the fact that so few Ferraris are involved in accidents, destroyed, abandoned, or otherwise litter the salvage/junk/recycling yards of the world compared to where most Priuses will be headed in about ten years' time....

    Anywho, good first shot.

    Given that this topic skirts many current socio/political opinion debates, wouldn't
    it be more appropriate to put in the Politics / Religion section? Seems to me it's off
    topic for this forum. I can see this spiraling into a 'right vs. left' debate, with
    no one reading the PDF, but just adding their own 2 cents at each step.

    Just my own 2 cents (see? Proof of concept!)

    Interested to know what your grade was on this?

    Technically I thought it well written. I'm not sure I got the gist of the paper. are you pro or con? what is the reader supposed to leave with?

    My opinion nice job, but I was not swayed either way? is it ethical or not? what argument am I supposed to take away?

    grade was 82%, not bad but I got a lot of marks off because I didnt cite things that were common knowledge to me (useless Ferrari facts) but the marker obviously didn't see it the same. My point on the paper was to say it is ethical (i know an uphill battle) but i tried at least. Thanks for reading!
