Default I hate to say it

My feeling is tha the term "rice" has just gotten to mean "something that someone doesn't like". Originally, it meant Jap cars period, coming from the term "rice burners". My '94 ForeRunner or my wifes 2000 ES300 would qualify from the old meaning. Now with all the modified Hondas, "rice" means an ugly, ill-considered, modified anything".

If we hate "ugly, ill-considered, modified cars", then why don't we just tag them as that. To me, "rice" will always just mean "rice burner", i.e., any Jap (or Asian) car, modified or not.
