Im glad the show came on and protrayed street racing the way it did... Think about this folks.. The entire show was import this, import that, visor's turned around backwards and upside down, saggin pants " Yo dog " BULLSHEOT. Now, we all know that we dont like to see this. However, as the comment was made earlier the cops ( the ones that seen this show ) are going to start cracking down on these " Modified Cars " Now, we also know that a true Stanger will mod his or her car for performance first and looks later.. So while these cops are busting these rice mobiles with body kits, huge wings and huge wheels and a lowered non-performance oriented stance, we will be driving by in our CLOSE (maybe wheels and a cowl hood) to stock appearing Mustangs. I for one am glad that the majority of the show wasnt about Domestic power.
When a television show comes on about Performance Domestic Cars, its is almost all of the time a Documentary. With highlights from manufacturers, owners etc. and a focus on an over all performance of the vehicle, whether it be a classic Boss 302 or a new Camaro.
The typical " Ricer " image was futher ground into the eyes of every Police officer in America last night that watched the show. Now when a police officer sees a Mustang, Camaro, or the like of a performance car on the street, next to a riced out Civic, Integra or the like, Which do you HONESTLY think he would be more apt to pull over. Take into consideration that the night before he had watched the Rice show on MTV and then switched over to the Discovery Channel and seen a Documentary on the history of performance cars in America. Seeing, stupid KIDS all acting like hoodlums, or watching Performance car owners talking about the breed, and the love of the. .I know which I would pull over..Sorry for the long rant. Just needed to clear some things up
