Re: Anti-ricer article

That article was dumb and closeminded. Import vs Domestic arguments are all retarded, any car can be made to beat any car, end of story. Who manufactured it doesn't make a difference. This will probably be closed since import vs domestic threads are prohibited, i assume b/c of the amount of ignorance it takes to take a side in the argument, and that's all this thread could possibly turn into.

Before anyone creates a post possibly condemning this article look at the post that spawned this thread.... then don't post. Parent Thread :thumsdown:

Re: Anti-ricer article

is it worth pointing out that the nissan 350z was designed in an american design studio
by an indian guy
born in the uk
who studied in both the uk and the us.

so er.... the nissan is a global car?

anyway.
let me get this right.
you are proud that US cars can't command the same prices that other cars can?
so american cars are cheap.
wall mart is cheap.
what does that say?

lol exactly.

Domestic vs Import isn't a battle of performance at all...if it was that then each would have 9 second cars stock. Its a battle of sales. The performance battle is between the consumer to see who mods best.

I hope you people will soon realize that anti-ricer threads are in no way related to import vs domestic threads. People who hate ricers, like me, just post about how stupid ricers are. We never mention anything about domestic vehicles. Ricers suck, period. If you're gonna trick out a car, do it right.

Re: Anti-ricer article

that's the point, the anti-ricer article in question was about imports equating to ricers and how american domestic cars are better.

My cat could make a better point than him and I'm 75% sure my cat is retarded. He clearly has no clue that there are 80 gazillion ways of making a car go fast, not just "Putting a V8 in it bro"

Yeah we all hate ricers, but like drunken said it was about domestic superiority over all.

Domestic cars nowadays are crap. The only good domestics are the classic muscle cars of the '60s and '70s. Today, domestics are made of plastic, get really shitty gas mileage, ridiculously overpriced, and perform no better in a crash test than a paper plane. Imports are safer, cheaper, and get way better gas mileage. A stock Civic is an all-around good car. A riced-out Civic is just a piece of shit.

Re: Anti-ricer article

It is all what people think they are just cars and some you hate and some you like. Sorta like me I like the 60s 70s vette but I don't like the 80s through know. It's all up to the people end of story. You can like whatever you like and we can't stop you. To me a car is a car and that will never change(except Hybids they suck hate them badly.) They are all cars and cars are to be driven and not compared until the carshow.

Hold up. Is this person a living oxymoron? You hate ricers but you just recently painted your hood black and you bought these stupid looking hubcaps to swap out with your old ones. I don' get it.

FYI, I have not put those ugly-ass hubcaps on in a long time and probably won't again. As for the hood, I was bored. I'm gonna repaint the whole car black eventually, so STFU. And you will pay for that tailight you busted. I don't care if you refuse, cuz your gonna pay for what you did to my car.
