HELP!!!

 

means that your car is white and long and it boils in 10 mins

 

Its all about peoples opinion on how they look at certain cars. They dont like something about the car, such as blue headlights, stickers, or bookshelf-type spoilers and they call it Ricey. IMO the term gets thrown around way too easily and people are way eager to slap that term on anyone who tries something new. my $0.02

 

Ok, thanks!

 

Here's the definition of rice...

Y2kevSE, how is that car ricey? Just because it has an official Boeing 747 Wing doesn't automatically make it rice. Granted, if you slap one of those with 10 NOS stickers and intake and exhaust on a 92 Civic, it'll be rice, but I actually think that car doesn't look half bad. I'm not a fan at all of those huge wings, but it looks alot better on that car than many i've seen.

 

 

I'm pretty sure he was kidding dude If he wasnt he would have left out the more pictures link...

 

Private message (PM) Chebosto and let him know about this thread. You will understand why.

 

he's joking. that is the car he wishes he had. maybe some day kev.

 

IMO thats grounds for a major RICE badge.

Y2KSESteve is right. Alot of the domestic guys slap the term RICE on anything that is Japanese and nowaways I see about as many riced out domestic cars as Japanese cars.

 

My definition of rice has always been useless "performance" items. Like 5" exhaust tips. I guess big double-decker wings fall under that too.

Most people seem to use it now for something they consider to be poor taste, which I think is silly, since it's so relative and has nothing to do with the origin of the word.

This topic is probably beating a dead horse though, right?

 

we pretty much all know what the 'far end' definition of rice is (huge wing, crazy graphics, overdone body kits, Altezzas, stickers, etc.) just as we know what ghetto can be (gold/yellow line tires on rims with monster spacers that shoce them out of the wheel well, TV antenna on trunk, curb feelers, wire wheels or wheels with strange weather vane chrome patterns, gold emblem package, mirror tint, ect.). On the flipside totally boring cars can be named for a more 'mature' crowd as well...

just saying that with the obvious cases you just KNOW they are what they are...it is pretty much opinion (as seen in the above posts) as to how far into any direction a car has gone.

 

Some day..... some day.........

 

Rice to me is:

1) Any car that has modifications intended to make the car look faster but really offer no performance gains at all (or in most cases negative performance). Big honking wings on FWD civics is my favourite example.

2) Cars sporting decals for modifications it doesn't have.

3) Excessive or garish decals/graphics although this is more a personal preference issue. I do like some graphics, it depends on the car and the graphics.

4) If the mods were done just so the owner could brag about the mods, then I call that ricey as well.

Some people feel that putting Asian characters on the car is ricey. To me it depends on whether the owner can tell me what the characters mean. If he can't, then yes, that is hella ricey.

 

for those who remember this gem...

here is what could be a hybrid...

 

Hey, Thats my old ride! The spoiler makes it go faster!

 

ouch, i can't wait for cheston's response....

 

I think all of this "rice" talk started when somebody decided to call Japanese cars "rice burners"...specifically, smaller cars. Then, people started modifying their "rice burners" with cosmetic mods and fart-can mufflers. Now, the term "ricey" GENERALLY means any non-performance enhancing modification that is, in the eyes of the viewer, not tasterfull.

It's all opinion, but some examples are

giant wings
fugly body kits
useless lighting


again, all opinion


In my opinion, some 'rice' mods are ok, just as long as you have some bark to back it up.

SprintMax has a good pic from "The Fast and the Furious" sum this up.

 

I love that yellow bus sig pic!

Cheston doesn't come in here, so it's all good. Hehehe

 

 

Any questions?

 

Hmm.

If you've seen offical Boeing 747 Supercritical wing, you would understand that the spoiler that i have installed produces down force instead of lift, something rudamentary that you obviously overlooked in your observation.

 

Rice => extra weight => down force

 

you can put one on my car, if you catch me.

i pitty the 2k2foo, such a powerful engine, such a slow car.

 

could you chill out please?

he was only kidding...besides both Keving and Cheston are rice anywayz

 

wait are we talking about uncle bens???

 

u know what i'm talking about..

 

Pot calling the kettle black?

I'm crying from laughing at your sig pic .

Did you edit that yourself or did someone else do it?

 

Hmmmm...

Well anyway......Rice is anything that makes your lunch magicly reappear in the back of your mouth.....and cause much discomfort.
