![]() In the April 2002 Car Craft in the Point of View Editor’s Letter Column (Matt King) wrote an article entitled It Takes All Kinds. This article went through his description of different types of car guys and the types of cars they drive. It was mildly amusing until I got to the following passage:
“Rice Boy isn’t just an import phenomenon. Like a squirrel attracted to shiny objects, Rice Boy can’t hose his car down with enough gee-gaws and doo-dads he sees in magazine ads or hanging on the rack at the auto parts store. Rice Boy’s car looks like it drove through Pep Boys with a magnet on it. He usually drives a new Mustang.” Now this is one of the greatest insults I have ever read. The Mustang is one of the greatest cars ever built as attested by its over 38 years of popularity. Rice Boys drive Rice not great American Muscle Cars. EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW AND EXPRESS YOU INDIGNATION AT THIS SLAM BY E-MAILING THE CAR CRAFT EDITOR AT: carcraft@primediacmmg.com

![]() "Rice boy" can come in any form, yes, even a Mustang.
"Rice Boy’s car looks like it drove through Pep Boys with a magnet on it. He usually drives a new Mustang.” But that statement of his was so dumb and inaccurate, I'm not even sure it's worth getting angry about. Editors such as Matt King is one of the many reasons I could care less about Car Craft ![]()

![]() Idiotic statement for a car magazine editor to make - in public. He's probably just clueless as to what constitutes 'rice'.
There is a very wide chasm between those who own and drive Japanese cars and sport stupid accessories like fart pipes, garish paint jobs and pounds of 'racing' decals and those who own and drive American muscle cars and add accessories that increase or enhance actual performance. This Matt King guy, as a car magazine editor, should be well aware of that obvious fact. I suspect he's the kind of guy that hates most anything that isn't in his particular ballpark, and that would seem to include Mustangs. Probably a '55 Chevy-type guy who doesn't think anything made after 1965 is any good, or else he just doesn't get out much. Anyway, who reads Car Craft and who could possibly cares what 'Matt King' thinks? |

![]() I know your mad at his comments - I am too - but you guys that are saying he probably drives a Yugo or a riced out Honda Civic are completely wrong.
In an issue awhile back he stated in an article that he drove a 63 Falcon which got stolen and then a 65 Falcon that met a Merc or Caddy (or something like that) at hot August nights so in reality he is a Ford guy like us but is playing to the GM crowd right now. |

As I said; he's clueless. Matt King should stick to writing about what he knows best - old cars - and not attempt to comment on 'ricers' and make inccurate and annoying comments about the modern car scene, of which he obviously understands little if he can lump Mustangs with 'Ricers'. |

I totally agree Mr 5 0. There are some people that are jsut this way. I would love to have a 65 Fairlane that I could make perform in stock trim like the Mustangs and other performance cars of today. Iwould love to see a 65 Fairlane EFI TT 351, with a tough c4, 9 inch and about 4.10 gears. But it just isnt as common place now-a-days and he jealous that a larger percentage of the aftermarket crowd is know jumpin into the more modern tuner type performance products. Brad
