-i do think all the "rice" jokes are pretty much played out
-i do think that some people don't have a fair definition of rice......if i a guy is building a show car or a stereo car and it is done right and isn't concerned with street racing at all, i don't think his car is rice at all
-i don't like the term "ricer"........it kinda carries racial overtones and doesn't necessarily make the user sound intelligent......i think "poser" would be a more accurate description
okay, back to my question:
would you consider this rice? the guys that run around in the stock or relatively stock (read intake/exhaust only) 5.0's, or 4.6's, or camaro's, or whatever..........often have decals, or cowl hoods, or blackouts and drive around like they are billy badarse and the fastest thing on the road

yes, even tho I am relatively stock, this is kinda the newbie-teen driver-goin-nuts-with-daddies-credit-card-driver-thing I beleive. i see these kids in my town, tryin to be billy badass, runnin people off the road, drivin like morons... i don't like it even though some of em are stang drivers. you can easily tell when someone has gone too far in the looks dept.. cause ford designed these cars with a killer look, and it takes very little to improve on the looks of a pony car.
I try to relate rice with this formula:
supercar looks-actual performance+ignorant ******* attitude=rice
rice is kinda racial because its term came mainly from the old days of true "only commuter" car status of imports, before there were any true import sports cars. i'm glad there is a wakeup call to get some serious performing imports on the market, it keeps the ford, chevy guys on there toes and make this game more fun.
rice is more of a mentality IMO, its negating a simple fact that you wanna be respected in the racing world, but don't got the stones to lay down the rubber so they make the car the most interesting car they can with huge wings, foglights, etc. rice is imitation. but to run with the racing pack you better have money under the hood to justify that conning tower rear wing set up. bad atittudes can happen to anybody,
domestic...import.. ford or ferarri, an ****** is an ****** in my opinion, i don't care what you drive.
plus poser is skateboard lexicon, i like the fact cars guys have there own language.
