wow..so sad....and people ask why they are no longer around..

 

please dont get butt hurt if i say this...

heres my definition of rice on automobiles: trying way too hard to turn an economic car into a race car by adding many stuff that doesnt have any performance potential.

tonight, im going to talk about spoiler. IMO, adding a huge spoiler on most cars does nothing since no one here (especially in SoCal) go over 120mph on the freeway. the reason for adding a spoiler is to hold the car down when traveling high speed (to get more stabilized, especially on RWD cars). so if its a FWD car with a spoiler, its pretty much does nothing since the spoiler would just push the rear end of the car down, making the front of the car higher at a high rated speed, which cause the front of the car to lift up (reduces aerodynamics).

there are many different types that are functional and just for show. examples:

functional (maybe):


just for show:


i cant believe that i wasted my time just to type that whole non-sense. LOL!

stay tuned for my take on other rice stuff...

 

Hahaha JDM........hahahaha go back to clubxb. Hahaha jk man

 

RICE = Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement , which means 90% of everyone.

 

Um yeah that use to be the meaning of "RICE"..but now it's pretty much..RICE = Really Idiotic Car Enhancemets...pretty much sums it up now a days !

And JDM keep those long explanations and definitions coming man....haha

 

Well its kinna hard to define. Pretty much, I guess it will be trying to add as many things to your car to "enhance" the look of it. Purchasing parts from autozone, pep boys, ect. Painting things that dont really match with the car

 

Rice= cultivating a look for your automobile that, sometimes, other people don't care for.

This reminds me of how my Philosophy of Religion professor described a "cult." A "cult" is any religious belief structure that you don't subscribe to. So to me, being agnostic, Christianity is a cult, Judaism is a cult, Hinduism..cult...etc.

"Rice" is the same way. Just about anything any one of us has done to our cars is probably considered rice in some automotive circle.

 

wait.....what????? I lost you after rice=. LOL.

Eddie, stuff from pep boys, autozone, etc.... can be used is just how its presented.

 

You want me to draw a picture? Would that make it easier?

 

why not. LOL. Im stuck here at work and Im not the only one scratching my head here.

 

that's why i said everyone to there own, just because stance,flush,etc is in right now and that's what most like now...makes anything different RICE.

 

RICE= Hondas with exhaust that sounds like it has a soda can stuck in it

 

In their opinions WE are considered rice. Keep in mind we are the ones that are trying to make a name since Scion is the new Kid on the block just like Kia Soul owners. Scion is the one bringing back old styles too. Anyone with a 10+ yr history in the import scene will tell you the same thing.

As I've stated before Honda owners carried the import scene on their backs in the mid to late 90's to take over the existing import scene that Toyota, Mazda, & Nissan/Datsun made. Even that was really underground then.

 

=D
