That was cute! ;)
I have decided that if Asian imports are called "rice" then Domestics with such mods are to be called "pork" and German imports are to be called "wienerschnitzel" :D

When you say domestic do you mean Chey Camaro Z28 (US-made), Holden Torana V8 (Aus made) or a 2.0l Ford Telstar (NZ-made)???

In my case, it would mean any nasty-ass Chevy Cavalier (like this one that is modeled after the green Eclipse from you-know-which-movie) or icky Ford Focus that's all goofy looking. It would be anything "American Made".

I agree with all of those except I have a question on this one:
You have more stereo WATTS than engine TORQUE!
You talking about RMS, peak, total, or what?
I have a 180 total watt system with 130 hp. It is 23 watt rms x 4 and 45 watt peak x 4
that make me a ricer?
Anyways, pretty funny list. Especially the one about flying past the guy who put on his brakes!! Its so true!! I never done it, but...
