Domestic Rice, anyone?

btw-Neon SRT-4 rips to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, to 100 in 13.8, covers a quarter-mile in 14.2 seconds at 102 mph, and keeps on huffin' all the way to 153 mph. That is faster 0-60 then the current Mustang GT (which does it in 6.1).

Man do I want to injure alot of people right now. First the guy on the first website who was making fun of domestics like rice burners are cool with all that crap on them . Second the people that own the domestics on that site for following the ricers by putting all that crap on their cars . If those people would spend the money they spend on body mods (which look like S**T ) they might be able to afford a car with good looks and respectable power (possibly an F-body ).

I drive what many people consider a rice burner but I don't because: One, the motor is stock (not even a K&N), Two, the body is stock. Three, the only money I have spent on the car was replacing the crapy dash speakers.

I have spent no money on the car because I know that it is slow and I really don't care to join the rice burner scene any more than I already have by driving an import.

Dang, I think I may have gone a little to far, but I just can't stand ricers nor the people that drive them (atleast none that I have met).

Rice is from Japan. Therefore domestic cars cannot be considered rice.

It's, Uncle Ben's Rice--All American.....or maybe it can be classified as beans. Interesting thought to ponder...what do you call domestic rice?

Sierra5.3 · February 14, 2003

I dont understand How you can call domestic cars rice? They are american made. Not grown inthe rice fields of japan. Detriot mini-muscle maybe

As far as I'm concerned, as soon as they get a big wing or any decals that have nothing to do with their car or a coffee can sticking out their backside, it's rice. Japanese Steam Fried rice or the American Uncle Bens Oventop Rice....it's all rice to me!

Now I am no expert, but alot, in fact most, of those pics on the first site, looked photoshopped. But like I said I am not an expert so I was just wandering if someone who is a little more experienced could look at those. Mainly the grilles on the kamakaze grilles, the mesh looked f'ed up somehow. Just alot of it seemed like it wasn't on the car. Second of all, I think the guy doesn't like GM, they were all GM except what? 1 maybe two? Pathetic...

I think the guy drives some riced out jap mobile and is pissed off that some guy in a riced out chevy wooped his A$$ one Saturday night, so he's holding a grudge.

Oh, I can't tell about the photoshop stuff but some of those bumper covers look out of place. Well $h!t, all the stuff on them is out of place.

As for the mesh on the grilles, that's normal when taking pictures. I forget the name, maybe moire effect. Something like that. As for the photochopping, I don't think he touched a single picture. I've worked extensively with photoshop not only for editing frames in a video, but also for a company website and I gotta say, it is incredibly hard to add in the reflections on the paint or the shadows the cars create with the ugly front hood with tons of useless holes in them. I think that's how the cars were when he took the pics.
