Pretty Decent Summary for what I see the word used for... It'll always be around in the tuner world for this description...

"More contemporary use of the term rice burner, along with the prefix rice, has taken on an alternate pejorative meaning for an automobile that has been modified to give impression of high performance, but does not necessarily have any high-performance capabilities. This practice is in direct contrast to the "stealth" or "sleeper" style of automotive modification, where a vehicle may have major performance modifications, but the appearance remains similar to that of a stock model. In this manner, the appellation can apply to any vehicle regardless of country of origin. The most commonly modified cars are sport compacts, but the term can apply to any class of vehicle, including trucks."

Bitching about a bitch is Rice ?

The guy asked what poeple thought rice ment in his first post. People replied and it was a harmless topic. If the thread was wothless let a mod decide to close it. But what did you starting a new thread do? It just added one more thread about rice.

I don't want to get in a pissing match with ya, I really don't care. I'm not even trying to hate on ya. I just think you starting this thread was a little silly.

I'm not offended one bit, The last car Forum I was on was for my old DelSol. I got very tired of people bitching and running around like they were the internet police.

Your last reply only shows me you aren't one of those people. I'm sorry for jumping on ya a little. I just don't want to see this forum go the way of many other forums.

The way I see it...

If you see some kind of accessory and it makes you giggle like a schoolgirl and think "this thing is cool", like flashing LED window washer spray nozzles might, it most likely is <b>not</b> going to be cool.

On the other hand if you see soem kind of accessory and the first thing you think about is how it could be useful, or how it could complement the theme of your ride, then it sounds more like a worthwhile purchase.

Heck look at my car, I'd be the first to say it fits in many of the descriptions of "rice". I mean, completely stock engine (except for intake/exhaust) with oil catch can, huge rims, huge brakes, loads of monitoring gauges, it is really more show than go, right? Yet, all those come together quite well and I'm more than pleased with the results.

As was said before, it's all subjective anyway. One man's rice is another man's gourmet meal...

Gotta love rice... then there's over the top silly ricing. I have a set of those fake stick-on hood pins... on the roof. Also have chrome mirror covers and whitewalls. There's a family of Lego people on my dash and a rubic's cube hanging from my rear towhook, not to mention teh 30m/100ft on vinyl pinstriping... Oh yeah, the engine and drivetrain is untouched and the only 'mod' are TRD springs...

BUT I DO take it to the track and school people that are too scared to push their cars to the limit...

:D

if your only engine mod is a bunch of stickers, then your car is rice. if you have stickers of stuff you dont even have, then your car is rice. if your car has a spoiler/bookshelf big enough to hold a set of encylopedias, yet has no other performance mods, then its rice. if your car is as loud as a nasa launch, but goes 0-60 in 11 seconds, then your car is rice...

I think it depend of each point of view....

As for me, I hate wings, love some kind of body kit but don't think it's essential. I fucking hate spinner from Canadian Tire lol and any other kind of stuff (useless) from that store.

For some other, it will be CAI or exhaust or whatever else. I think there is no rice, only people who don't know what is to modified a car.

To me, ricers are haters. And ghettoly modified stuff. Its one thing ot have a very expensive show car, (even though I'm not into show) and its another thing to put on some altezzas, stickers, and a fart can. With a very obvious, non-functional wing.

Enjoy your ride.Someone posted a picture of a 350z with the JGTC wing on it. Fully functional, but I guess considered as rice to some.

I am a fan of shrimp fried rice. I was mailed a tin of cookies from the dealership I got my car from (damn tasty in their own right), and piping hot shrimp fried rice would have been better, damnit!
