Why do you hate rice and why?

Rice seems to be a lifestyle as is being a hardcore gearhead. You just have to respect what people like. I'd drop $2,000 in the blink of an eye for a sweet pair of cylinder heads while a bicycle enthusiast would say,"Man he could've bought a wicked carbon fiber bike. What a waste of money on car parts." Most stangs' can deal with rice out there. The good thing, they do help our dragstrips survive financially.

I don't really hate rice........I mean some of the cars are annoying and dont really serve any real purpose other than the driver trying to look cool. But, I have to say having lived near a mostly Hispanic neighborhood and seeing and listening to people talk about the import cars they used to have or have modded, it was more about taking cheap cars and making them as quick as they could for as little money as possible. I guess the old toyotas/nissans/datsuns....... or whatever else, is what they had, what they drove, and what they could mod. These were the cars though that would be unbelievable to see them go, surprising to the stoplight racer next to them, and unsuspecting to the Mustang, or Camaro that was at the track. The real imports werent about fancy wings, or having the biggest rims on there, and that is what I can understand. I dont understand the wanna be's whether its import or domestic "rice".
