Rice Rockets Rice Rocket Car
764 wordsA thunderous roar echoes throughout the once quiet neighborhood. I hear the revving of engines. Suddenly there is a loud screeching of tires pealing out across the pavement. The sound of the engines becomes even louder than before, then quickly decreases as the cars speed away. There is quiet for a few minutes, then the whole thing repeats again. This is a common occurrence in my neighborhood and always means one thing. Its those racers in their rice rockets again! To the layman, a rice rocket i...

Hundred Dollars One Hundred
611 wordsRacing, to me, is just the outward display of whose car is faster than the other guys. It is not a sport. It is not game. It is just immaturity on wheels. Now of course, many people will put a lot of work, money, and time into making their car faster than the next guys, but why? There is no product to show for all of your hard work but a glove-box full of speeding tickets, an engine that will need to be replaced soon, and tires that have already been replaced ten times. Hopefully, you will soon ...

Were Romans Obsessed With Violence
1,238 wordsIn many modern books written about Ancient Rome and her people, the Romans are often portrayed as brutal and unforgiving people who enjoyed violence and thought it amusing to see people being injured and killed to the point of obsession. It is my aim to establish whether this classification is justified or if it is simply an exaggeration of what a small group of people enjoyed. While it is known that in Rome there were gladiatorial fights, public beatings and the keeping of slaves was legal (and...

Mercedes Benz Business Week
1,499 wordsFerrari in my opinion is a company that right from the beginning was build to last (1), it was built to be the best in Europe.
