The Stench of Rice at Autozone
 

I'm noticing all this new CRAP at these parts places. My eyes got bright :eek: when I saw hub caps that make your wheels appear 2" bigger in diameter. What the crap?!!! And all this Fast and Furious floor mats and seat covers, rice shifters, neons, stickers, etc, etc. :mad: :mad: :mad: What is this world coming to? Hey you even get a chance to win a "Cool" (as quoted in the ad) car in a drawing. (picture looks like a 2002 lime green civic with stickers, stupid ground effects, outrageous wing, you know the nonsense you see in F&F (the Fags and the Ficticious). :mad: Trash....

I feel your pain. This crap is outta control. I was hoping it was just a fad (Like leisure suits), but it loooks like it will be here for a while. I went to my favorite speed shop, that I have built half my car from. I asked him why there was so much rice crap hanging on the wall (Euro lights seat belt pads with japanese writing on them, shifters ect.) where there used to be stuff for v8 Fords, chevy and dodge muscle cars. He said "Thats whats selling now" I was bumbed out about that. Like you said. "What the hell is the world coming to" I think those cars are anoying to say the least. I would never own one, and you would think with all the crap going on in the world and with so many countries against us that you would go American all the way.

:mad: the thing that kills meis i was at import wars.."like i said to mass stang....war? more like kids with water balloons......"and a 99 prelude shows up with his purge button stuck for his naws....
(it must have been stuck with how mush it was spraying CONSTANTLY) runs a 14.7 with naws.........my 10 yr old son and i start in with geesh i wish i could run 14.7 with the bottle......of yo mommas milk.........and with all 4 tires flat. the glars i got rumblin thru the show car corral.........they knew the whoop *** had arrived...........then a civic si with a turbo....comes whistlein along.....got all the sub 20 people anixous...all talkin "yo yo yo he gots a turbo yo...." 14.6 95 mph.........so we started again......"geesh with the times,i could take a tree nap....wake up brush my teeth then hit to gas.....all with out a turbo......i didnt understand they must have liked me they kept throwing water bottles at us.........

Yeah I know what you mean, I just take all my frustration out on them at the track when they fall back in my rearview mirror I feel good inside:)

Yesterday I was at Pep Boys who has a huge ricer section, and this kid and his mom were trying to decide how many and what color Super Street stickers to put on his car.:rolleyes: ~Brian

Yeah, I hate RICERzone now.... the store near me just recently changed the setup of the store and loaded the shelves with Riced out sh*t. I go to O'riley's now and they have a small section of ricer stuff, but I have never seen anyone buy any of that crap. I think I'm safe for a little while....

I saw a riced out mustang the other day. http://66.227.101.70/contrib/sarge/D...inted_anim.gif http://smilies.jeeptalk.org/otn/sad/bncry.gif

Is nothing sacred ?

hey dark...i love your 420 hp ricer tho.....hiya sis...say the pic o your mom and company......your taken but is she single?:p

This was seriously my face when I saw it ---> http://66.227.101.70/otn/sad/smily77.gif

She's been married for 31 years. Although, not very happily so.. you might have a shot :p

Only thing I buy in those places is filters, oil and wax/car wash... I then proceed to the check out line asap, I can't spend too much time in those places. Here in Queens, the import scene is all Korean, and they all try and portray that ethnocentric badass asian aura, pisses me off to no end.

i totally agree...it was cute for a while, but now these primered civics, hyundai's, Kia's an holy crap i hope your kidding"..Daewoo's. runnin around thinkin they can hang w/ true performace cars is gettin irritating...

...


a few of my v8 buddies are doin a massive cruise in on opening day at the movie theatre... a sea of performance cars.. against a group of rice... f-bodies, musclecars, mustangs, hot rods... it'll be glorious...

i whole heartedly encourage all my mustangworld peeps to do one at your local ricey theatre an show the forces of rice, performace dosen't come from autozone..

the hunt is on....

i went to advance auto saturday, trying to find a breather for my 750 holley, geeze everything chrome or vinal was rice, i asked the guy, uh do they make anything for american car's?, yeah he said is it a chevy , we have valve cover's & about 3 chrome breathers, well, found a small narrow breather that might have worked, some jack azz had stole the filter, well we went to the filter section, lo & behold on top of the shelve's were awesome aluminum racing wing's :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :eek: , i said nevermind man, l8ter. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :confused: :(

"Thats whats selling now" ... thats just it, unfortunately mommy and daddy's credit card can buy any and all of the ridiculous stickers, tailights, light kits, exhausts, etc.. ask some of these kids who paid for their car, and who is paying for their "mods." must be nice...
in a way we cant blame the shops, they are trying to make money and if by selling this **** to these ricers increases business, its hard to ask them not to appeal to them :rolleyes:
oh well, lets just run em all off the road!

To each their own.

i see all that crap at the parts stores, but i've never seen anyone buy any of the stuff (i think they like to mail order it so they get the free stickers, too)

as for the person who went to the "import wars" or whatever, if it sucked so much, why did you go? i've ran volkswagen at the strip several times this year. i've ran it on import night and test & tune night (basically no imports). on test & tune night this year, everyone lets me do my thing without even giving me a 2nd look. on import night, i can't make a pass without jim bob coming up to me and telling me that his 82 camaro will smoke me and my nazi car sucks. IMO, that's pretty weak.

:p your v dub is pretty weak...dude i am allowed to say what i want and go where i want.i went for the real imports the go....the 10 second rx7 or the 10 second 83 corolla...get off your milk crate .i laugh at the civic and v dub with a whoop *** t9001 super intercooled nitrous fed 30" turbo running 14's thats weak.enough said.weak s>U>C>K

i run in the 10's all day.without the bottle and turbo....with half the money in my ride that turns heads whereever i go without sitting at a stop light next to a "import" revving my tin car exausted whatever trying to get attention from the camry next to me wanting to run one of the only cars my import will beat.......i enjoy cars what ever they are but put up or shut up.dont bug me at every stop light i am at beacuse my car says 5.0 on it.thats weak.some import at the store the other day comes up to me and says hey want to run for pink slips.....i asked what he had....a yoda...(lil green man?) so i told him that i didnt have any more room in my yard for yoda's.i know what i run and what i have i dont need to prove it to anyone everytime i see something
that makes noise........that is the part i get annoyed about.i enjoy all cars.

what's that have to do with anything that happens at the track? and why do you care that somebody "only" runs 14's?
