Where on the Rice-O-Meter does this register?





This is what I sold to buy my tC! It was a good trade-off.

It's a kit car. A Sebring to be exact. 200 horse type-1 VW, air-cooled, 4 speed, and weighs 1600 pounds. VERY fast, but no a/c, no heater, and the windows only pop out about 3 inches. It was like driving a glass coffin!

I got enough for her to pay cash for my tC...plus a bit left over for modifications!

Its not rice, except for the Corvette center-caps. Its actually cool looking!

Where I live, theres rice everywhere. Some dude at the mall I work at has a "bubble" Caprice with rims and system that exceed the value of the car. He also "tastefully" added a "Dukes of Hazzard" horn to his hooptie! It doesnt work properly, so it only blows a few notes. Last year some other guy would needlessly fly around this same mall with a base level Neon that he cut the muffler off of and added a 90 degree elbow, making redline shifts, and generally annoying everyone. He hasn't made any appearances in several months, so hopefully something really bad happened (repoed, blown engine, licence revoked, something like that).

Here guys...I figured there will be artcle online.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_burner

Tonight, I saw a tC with "Injen" license plate frame. And the tC didn't have exhaust nor CAI sound. All I'm going to say is "Nice try." I will say I have TRD lowering springs,sway bar in boxes and struts on order; do I have them stated in my user profile? Nope! I will not until I get them on the car.

Rims exceed value of car
LOL I see this all the time in my area. I'm not sure what's their obssession with rims. but damn, putting 19 chrome rims on a 95 rusted green honda civic or integra is riced. Throw in a ____ty muffler exhaust that sounds awful FTL.

Finish it off with a red or blue Honda H emblem.

I have a '73 Celica. Following this criteria would put the car in as rice because it doesn't have an exhaust. I also plan on buying new wheels for it, but all brand new wheels/tires cost more than the value of the car.

Like the bottom of page 1 says, that list is pretty much saying every car on the road is rice. The "rice" list if amusing though.

Holy thread revival, Batman!

Front-end damage that's never fixed (or going to be fixed) on a car with a crappy body kit, rice enhancements, etc. That's usually a telling sign that the driver owns the entire Fast and the Furious trilogy and tried some sweet Tokyo Drift action, but narrowly missed Darwin standing in the road.

Those parts that make the cars ricey cost a lot of money. I can't even afford to make my car look like a POS. It amazes me how some people can afford to do such awful things to their vehicles.

rims that exceed the value of the car and stereo system that exceeds the value of the car is not rice at all. Usually the people that rice there car out, are too poor or cheap to actually buy nice wheels and stereo systems.
