I have news for you. Asians are not the only people who eat rice. There's spanish rice, mexican rice, white rice, brown rice, indian rice, wild rice, long grain rice, short grain rice, etc. Nearly every culture has consumed rice in some form or another. There is a THEORY that the word "rice" in reference to cars originated with the fact that most of the "tuned up" cars were asian. But that has changed. Do we still use the word "rice"? Yes. But does it have racist connotations for any of us? No. It has become just another slang word. If you choose to be offended by it, fine. But if you're going around looking for things to be offended by, you're going to find stuff everywhere. And most people don't mean anything by it.

I'm offended that you used all caps to type theory.

see, I just found something gh3y to be 0ffended about. The term rice is gonna stick whether you like it or not.

i agree with a lot of people on here.. i can see how fotw has a right to b mad and such, but i don't think that lowriders was trying to "diss" out any nationality here.... When i say, whaoh look at that ricer... i dotn' care about the driver, (other than he must be out of his mind to make his car look soo stupid) but i look at the car and think.. What a WASTE OF MONEY!!!!

... I like imports alot, but sometimes "racers" go too FAR!:licker:

hehe... I love riceboy jokes. I'm thinking of putting a type R sticker on my 89 chevy celebrity, and a powered by Honda sticker also. If anyone wants to donate, I'll put them on and take pictures to get a couple good laughs..

You know what I have to admit those jokes were pretty funny; being an import guy even I had to laugh at them they were pretty creative. . As I read some of these post I did start to get mad but when I started to notice that you guys actually knew the difference between "riceburner" and us real import racers I did calm down. I luv to see things like this that make imports look slow and funny cause all that does is gas the heads of those so called muscle car guys who dont believe the power of a 1.8 v4 "rice" engine. I thank you guys for these jokes cause all it does is set the muscle car guys up for me when I pull up with my 1990 Acura integra with fucked up black faded paint, dented up hood, cracked side mirror, black wheels missing their hubcaps,missing back seats and a rattling exhaust. I have to admit I would race a car like mines too but its one of the greatest things when I step on the gas when the light turns green and they realize this isnt a game. Yeah this "riceburner" sure loves his rice with a side of a V8 mustangs ass. LOL. Ohyeah dont take it wrong I dont hate muscle cars either I just hate the drivers with dum comments and I also love to see their faces as my little 1.8 V4 keeps pulling away from the "rumble of their V8" LOL. Hey I think its only fair you guys start to post Muscle car jokes too, Im sure I would laugh at them just as much as I laughed at those import jokes, Im a fair guy:smoka: . Anyway if you eva see that black ugly 1990 Integra with that muffler sticking out the back please dont race him he's not ready for your V8 rumblingLOL. Anyway Import lovers and V8 rumblers have fun and be safe out there. later.

LOL!!! I was just going to pull him up on that


the 4-cylinder takes a linear-formation- not the V formation-


So it should be 4-cylinder or to abbreviate it- I4 (In-line 4)
