another "rice" question

Fox Body · 10-03-2002, 06:55 PM

And yeah, many of us DIE HARD MUSTANGERS may have started out a bit ricey. Especially if we didn't grow up around many real car enthusiasts and didn't have direction and the right influence when we were younger. I remember when I had my other V6 stang, I put this shiny exhaust tip on it b/c the other one looked rotten but the new one stuck out too much. But I still liked it b/c it was shiny

. There are a few other things I did that I'm not so proud of, but over time and a little good influence and direction and common sense, I soon grew out of it. There's gotta be a time to grow up. And I don't mean going out and buying yourself a 2003 Cobra, get what you like, import or domestic and try to be honorable in what you do. Don't degrade a decent car WHATEVER IT MAY BE with cheap/stupid/flashy little trinkets and dodads thinking "oh wow, I'm cool now and can hang with the big dogs". Dont' pull up beside stangs and with a nasty attitude like your their daddy.

And stang guys, every once in a while, have a little sympathy on the respectful ricer guys, if you act snobby to them all the time, they're just gonna have the same stinking attitude towards you as you do to them. Hey, maybe you can influence them in a good way, I know I have (from experience). That's converting one ricer at a time.....
