Default Rice from Florida

So a friend and I are walking out of a restaurant here in Vegas. I see a tC in the parking lot, white, from Florida. Huge wing, JDM-style muffler. I go "OH my god, look at that rice, I have to take a picture."

I take out my camera phone, snap a picture, and as we're walking away to my car a few spots down, I see THEY'RE STILL IN THE CAR, watching me insult it and taking a picutre.

:D:D:D

They get out, and switch seats, and I'm looking at the guy and I say "Oh hey, you... drove a long way."

He replies, "Yeah... it isn't mine. Wing on a front wheel drive car right?"

I just thought I'd share. Hey maybe the driver is on SL :D I'll post the picture up soon.

Wings on FWD cars is not that rare any more. I see it almost every day. Some sort of spoiler on a FWD car. Hell my car came stock with one. As for it being just a florida thing, I guess you have not been around vegas a lot or something. Saw at least one over done FWD car on every street I took while I was there.

LOL....that's funny. It reminded me of what happened to my wife last summer. She had just gotten her solar-yellow RS2.0 xB a few weeks prior, and she was parked in the mall paking lot. She was walking to her car when two young (16 or 17 yr old) girls were getting out of a car close by. They were looking at the box and one of them said, "Those things are like, sooooo wierd. Who would drive one of those?"
That's when my wife hit the remote to unlock it. She walked up to it and smiled at them and said, "I would." She said the look on their faces was priceless.

i only said they were FROM florida, or so their plate said. it was a pretty awkward moment :D something had to be said.

as for the rs2.0 story... gotta love those moments. i was walking back to my car and saw this couple walking towards my car, maybe in their late 30's, they both seemed to like it, so i stepped back and watched what they were doing. the dude tried to open my passenger side door! so i walk up to it and hit unlock and say "yeah, i like it too, thats why i have the key"

Thats when you press the panic button on your key and make him jump a couple feet.

LOL. I saw something almost as good tonight. Wish I had gotten a camera phone instead of this tiny nokia. White, 4 door, late 90s civic, and a 7th Gen Celica GT (not GT-S) with matching blue underglow kit, along with the usual set of rice dressing as well. Here it seems all the ricers are all show (bad one at that) and no go. Every focus with an unpainted aftermarket bumper seems to think his car can keep up with mine.

I never understood why people think its a good idea to leave their wing/bodykits/ect another color from their cars color. There is a red mazda mx6 in the neighborhood of my job and he has a blue urethane kit on his car.. The blue is the color that the kit comes in from the manufacturer..

I have seen that driving around before. Its to clean for me to say anything about it. I find it to be pretty nice & much better done then half the civics in this area. The only bad part, is at most its a EX, maybe a engine swap? Dont know the guy, so no clue.

Now something like this, I would have more then one question for the owner.
