RIP 84

Rice because it's foreign, or were there other reasons it is called rice?

Its all funny and laughs untill its your car burning!!! My buddy had to watch his low mile 71 mach 1 burn up on christmass eve!He had to go to the hospital suffering from smoke inhalation.He cried on the sene,all with no insurance.The worst part is when he left his stepdad house popps told him ''I HOPE THE BATT TERMINAL DOESNT SHOT OUT ON THE HOOD'' The batt terninals were a little high so......who knows?

Dont worry about offending people around here. Were mostly above pettiness, well most of us anyways. Especially when calling rice rice. Make no bones about it, its not American,.... Thanks for the story!

That's why I carry a fire extinguisher in the passenger compartment of my car. Hopefully I'll never have to use it, but if I do, at least I won't have to stand there and watch the car burn to the ground. They are only like 15 bucks or so.

just because its foreign its rice???

That's the way iv'e seen and read it.
Wel let's see here??
Whats actually classifies "RICE" then. I'm really curious now.

PotAto, potAHto

This is what MOST folks consider rice.....

First of all, rice is almost CERTAINLY an attitude, not a car. ANY car can be done "properly" which would eliminate the title "rice". For instance, Spec-V has a very nicely done Nissan Sentra SE-R pushing over 500 hp. That's not rice.

An example of rice would be an individual who buys or acquires their very own Honda Civic EX and puts a loud coffee can muffler on the back thinking it will give him 140 more hp to the wheels or something like that. You know who these individuals are b/c you can hear them coming a mile a way and you see them in your rearview mirror swirving in and out of lanes making everybody nervous on the highway.

Generally they FRONT like their car is fast, when really, it isn't..........at ALL.

They will invest MORE time in tinting their windows and installing loud sound systems then they will actually making their car go faster. None the less, they are under the impression that the fart can is the be all end all modification which will push them to the front of every race.

Oh, and you can bet the personality of the person driving the car will match the description of the car itself. Example:

"Hey man, my car is SOOOO fast," will more than likely be followed by the comment, "What dude? I'm the ****. I wouldn't mess with me b/c I'm the coolest mother ****er in the world."

They think they are something that they are not. They are fake dudes with fake cars. I probably needn't go any further with this description b/c I'm sure you get the idea of the type of individuals I'm talking about. We've all seen'em and dealt with'em before, and we'll probably have to continue dealing with'em in the future. Oh well, to each his own I suppose. I just think it's funny.

Also, I'm sure there are some who would consider my recently acquired Acura TSX to be "rice". However, when referring to the real ricer definition, it is not, nor am I one. Yes I hope to do a few basic bolt-ons, but coffee can mufflers will NEVER be on my list of things to install. I will eventually run with a DC header, Greddy catback, CCI flywheel, UR underdrive pulleys, and a Hondata K-Pro reflash.

Probably run in the low 14s, high 13s. I would be happy with that, but at the same time, it's not going to be a track car. Just a very nicely done TSX. The way a TSX SHOULD be done.

After all, it's only my DD.
