ricer is cool

[DeViL]

Damn that is one wild looking RSX. How are you supposed to keep up, it just takes a lot of time like everything else. There is no way you can afford all that stuff in a couple years so get over it. But you could if you wanted to invest all your money into your car.

Something like that RSX doesn't look ricey to me but I can't say the same for everyone else. It looks tasteful, but now something like what was posted in this Honda/Acura forum earlier this year. 4 door, lime green and black Accord(?), that looked disgusting and the wheels didn't help it out either. If I saw that on the road I'd call it rice.

On top of rice-boy posers who think they're tin can looks baddass, they also think that their grocery-getter can whup on any car MADE IN AMERICA... forgetting that their own rockets are manufactured in the states. Its just ignorance... BrOoo MaH Ciiiviic with PePsI CaN ExHaUsT An MuH InTakE ThAt I TaPeD On iZ SoO DoPe AnD I WhUp On StAngZ, CorVeTTes, ViPeRz, V-8s No MaTcH Fa RiCe PrYYYYYDE.

yea, you have to invest tons of money into your car nowdays to have ANY sort of respect. rice burners come a dime a dozen nowdays and with cars like this http://importtuner.com/features/0205it_wildwest/ how in the world are we supposed to keep up? People think absolutely nothing of your car unless it looks absolutely amazing, which require vast sums of cash... and normal people dont have that kind of money. were just struggling to stay in the game but they just keep pumping out these new, absolutely incredible cars and in the end, we get absolutely no respect because we cant afford the $6000 paint job, the 300 watt system, 5 extra-wide LCD screens, DVD player and X-Box.

It's too bad. Makes me wish for the old days again. But I like the new body styles so its all good.

Ya whats the "scene" now? Flipping through these Tuner Mags all I see are flagrant flossin of excess... they're trying to make a CAR into something else man... I not dissin people's creative outrageous ideas and $$$ to do so, buuuuut I always believe in less is more.

I know what you mean. I stumbled across an import mag a while back and instantly I was determined to get an import and get to work.
It's a good, entertaining hobby, but you just get no respect. EVERYBODYS a critic. When anyone who knows anything about imports, (and some that dont) see a nice looking import on the street, they instantly label it as shit without giving it a second glance. I've heard it a thousand times:

"oh it looks cool but I bet its got a completely stock engine in there"
"man this and that make it look like shit"
"aww, hes just some rich bitch whose mommy and daddy got them that stuff"
"rims are too big" "rims are too small" "the stickers suck" "that sux" "this sux"

My friends do it all the time, label a car shit just cuz it looks nicer than theirs. It's impossible to please anybody, let alone everybody. If your car looks nice, it will instantly be labeled as complete crap because people are jealous, skeptical and cynical. Why can't anybody or better yet everybody just look at a car and call it "nice". Don't be skeptical, dont make pathetic assumptions and dont label it a piece of shit until you really know about the car. Some cars are straight rice and everybody knows it but then youve got some cars that its obvious that somebody put a lot of money into it and that should be given due credit. If it looks nice, say it looks nice and dont act like a dick just cuz your car cant compare (yet).

AMEN

[cybercrx00]

Never been told any of my cars look like crap! Not to my face anyways, maybe cuz I'm huge

[Cyprus106]

LMAO. I haven't been told to my face either. Thank god for tinting. But friends'll be riding in the back of my car and say all that stupid shit. They wont say it to peoples faces, mind you but they always just assume...

True, one person's tastes wont suite everybody elses. And there isnt a set defenition for whether a car looks good or bad. Tastes differ, all you can be is tolerant i guess. Man its just fuuuked up if anyone straight tells you car looks like shiet. There's shiet talking and average criticism but its a fine line between the two.

Well if anyone does then they're pretty damn stupid or must not like those models cuz your cars are pretty close to stock lookin.

[cybercrx00]

very well said my friend..finally something that make me smile 2day.

to all the AZN(born outside of asia and thinks they r PURE ASIAN) sou pay la~
thank you.

[Cyprus106]

Who said ricers were Asian? Most all of the Asians I've come across do good moddin' their cars. most being the keyword there. I've also seen Asians do some incredibly stupid stuff to cars just like any of the other ricers out there. The culture doesn't matter. The intelligence does. Sometimes the taste but most of the time it's the naive or the dumb.
