The Stench of Rice at Autozone
I'm noticing all this new CRAP at these parts places. My eyes got bright
 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.  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). 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.

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.

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....

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....

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 oh well, lets just run em all off the road!

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.
