Wow that shit was weird as fuck..

[yota man]

Was he driving a LHD skyline?

[HyperTek]

watchin the video tho, they never got fast cars, so this is all new stuff for them. Their tastes may look tacky to us, but its still all brand new stuff for em.

[S14DB]

V6 Domestic Powar!!!

I'll take the LHD skyline and fix it...

[Flipzide]

imo, it doesnt bug me at all. at least they got something to do and love.

[stiizy]

[ericcastro]

WELOCME TO CAR ENTHUSIASM !!!!

its really cool to see them able to start falling in love with thier cars!! so cool!

And I bet they gotta be full stiff/full height coilovers because of the roads :) lol

[slidingsky]

I saw an R32 GTR every now and then when I'd go to the Iraqi border, actually it passed up one time. I couldn't believe it.

[kensreliableb18b]

pretty awesome that they finally get to modify their cars. cant wait to see how they progress over the years:

at least they're not blowing each other up. you know, seeing stuff like this makes me want to vote for mccain. we really are doing some good over there.

[atom]

Eh, they've been oppressed for so many years, I say go ahead and get your rice on.

[koroshiya87]

That's because this is the only kind of stuff you get to see on the news here.

Nonetheless this was enjoyable to watch.

[alindeman1989]

[YoungGun]

ah, don't give me that, this is the first piece of network news i've watched in months. i've got a buddy who just came back from iraq and all he could talk about was how it was relatively uneventful.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

I never realized how high Trans Ams sit. :keke:

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

APC would make a KILLING out there.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Hooray for N/A R33s!!!

[DohcKA]

thats pretty neat that they get to modify cars now... dont knock em... its just the beginnin... they prolly can do more than we can without stressin on cops haha

[Matej]

Nah not what I was talking about, but I don't want to turn this into another one of those threads. ur welkome evry1. :)

think they extend the bumper for a little edge in a drag race:down:

[spngr311]

I think it's cool that they can join the car enthusiasts world. Everyone's got to start somewhere!

[happy408]

"The Baghdad Car Pimpers"

[spoolandslide]

no wait until they get into this phase...

given their history and nature...

[ravinaziankid]

Those are some really ugly looking domestic rice. I guess they really do hate americans because they just ruined those american cars.

[braingone]

I wouldn't say ricer, yea they got alot of stickers but that's all they have access to.

[stiizy]

I'm telling you i'm about to open up a Wings West distributor out there and other random APC style shit and make a killing.

I'll even trade it for oil!!

[tracks13]

Arab countries have better cars than we do and cheaper gas prices (at least used to be) its misinformed to think this is their first time to modify cars.

Anyways when it comes to rice, it's not rice until it reaches this stage:

http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerofile/46971/3.jpg Ok whoever drives that needs to hit a tree at the top speed of that car-90mph.

ANd iirc APC was shut down after that whole god-aweful clear taillights thing, them selling them as DOT-compliant, and then getting slapped with a 20someodd million dollar fine.

but you know, good for them. They can get into cars, and eventually learn how not to rice a car. Eventually they'll be like the UAE as far as the car-scene goes. Wait, nevermind. There arent as many millionaire princes in Iraq apparantly.

The put a TOYOTA CHASER sticker on a Audi or sth.:loco:

[Oilcover]

haha so?

it chases toyotas.

dooood, it dont matta' if you win by an inch or a mile; winning's winning!!!:naughty:

Seriously though, good for them. I mean, retarded reporter to choose for this piece and it could have been done better, but the idea is badass.

Why all american muscle though? Well, i know there was a nissan, and not being sinister or anything, but I would think american cars were pretty hard to come bye in iraq for the general public for a long time, especially muscle cars.
