Why?

[Nismos14]

#### almost looks like they're doin that on purpose... ouch and that civic actually doesnt look half bad... dayumn.

[mistert]

i'd say its pretty ricey...chrome 18"s and pep boys chrome window trim? thats pretty retarded up on a little EX 2 door

anything chrome is rice...

[chickenmanq]

I just want to know the story behind it.

does his car say anything about V-tec, or stuff it doesnt have on it? no so why call it rice? its classy theres nothing wrong with making ur car look nice otherwise they would forbid those owners of certain cars to even BUY RIMS and they wouldnt make them for the car.... IMHO everyone is taking this rice stuff too seriously....

[mistert]

think what you want, i cant wait to see you put dubs on your s14 <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

IMO rice is putting parts that really dont belong on a car on there, or tring to make it somethin git isnt and isnt meant to be. people can do whatever they want to their cars though, if they want it to be laughable, more power to them, whatever makes em happy

so why make fun of them or call them names for doing something THEY wanted to do?

[mistert]

cause its my opinion and i choose to do so, just like its their car and they chose to do so. i dunno man i just dont think its that big a deal, if people wanna talk shit and badmouth cars that they think are ricey, i dont think theres anything wrong with that. it all works out, its not like were causing any trouble by doing so

good point and i wasnt trying to pick on u and it wasnt directed at anyone..... i'm just getting sick of the whole &quot;riceboy&quot; crap ya kno?

[Zenki Two40]

me 2. the only way something ain't gonna be called rice on this forum is if the car is DEAD STOCK.

[kitoro]

it looks really photochopped..............

Heh, I just think the car's ugly not ricy <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Actually the car isn't that bad, just the rims and those AWFUL pinstripes that come on most cars stock.

[Zenki Two40]

the rims might be ugly to me, but his car obviously isn't built to go on the track, he just wants to big pimp it on the street. n if that's what he wants to do, let him do it w/out hearing ppl have negative comments on it. ppl act like if it ain't their's, there's something wrong w/ it.

[kitoro]

(o.O)

are you guys still on the rice topic?
====
can i add my own input?

i'm also sick and tired of 'rice'... ppl just labelling it as any civic/honda w/ rims and stickers. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
i dun drive a honda, (never will), but i've seen some prepped up hondas in Calgary.. and they have the speed to prove it too.
we have a 12 second prelude in Calgary, it won the fastest FWD car award or something recently... plus we have some crazy preludes and civics and tegs in town too. so you can't just label anything rice b/c its got rims and stickers. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

my $0.02

[mistert]

whether you think its rice or not, i do, thats my opinion and im sticking with it. feel free to think what you want nobody can do anything about that.

and its not just rims, he also had a big exhaust on there, and all the pepboys chrome trim that looks absolutely awful

[AJ]

i kinda like the look of that car for cruizin personaly.. those are decently tastefull crome wheels.. at least he doesn't have crome hubcabs... gosh...

[mistert]

good luck actually turning the wheel all the way when turning, and considering its a FWD car it must go slow as ####. obviously hes concerned with actually moving since he put that exhaust on there and all

lol front wheel drive cars are slow? my dads FWD Acura 3.2 CL Type-S kicks the crap out of most of our cars.... so yah.... ur point about FWD is a moot point.

[Zenki Two40]

it's probably just a tip to go w/ his car. but please just try to keep these comments to urself b/c they always tend to lead to other arguments, even though this one ain't bad at all.

the term rice is just so...childish. like little kids pointing at the other kids that don't dress like they do n calling them stupid. not directed to u mistert cuz u think it's ugly, this is towards the term rice n why ppl use it so much. just sounds 2 immature to me n that ppl should grow up n learn to look at things a little different instead of hating everything that isn't theirs.

[mistert]

no not just considering its FWD, i mean putting 18&quot; wheels on an FWD car. FWD cars have their merits i just dont like them, they can go fast, but no, im not saying it must be slow as #### just because its FWD, but an FWD car with giant rims.

[kitoro]

hey... the civic doesn't even have a huge spoiler!!
didn't notice that

---

doesn't anyone care this thing looks remotely photochopped?

(Edited by kitoro at 9:58 pm on Dec. 10, 2001)

[DSC]

Nope we don't care <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> its too funny, hehe. I'm pretty sure that it is fake but why ruin the fun. 1st, the hummer has no shadow 2nd at that angle it would (probably) fall over....so yeah its still funny though. And for the record, stickers are only &quot;ricy&quot; (IMO) if its for a product you don't have.

(Edited by DSC at 10:14 pm on Dec. 10, 2001)

[mistert]

yeah its somewhat obvious in the second pic, but i dun care, its still pretty funny

[kitoro]

lol....

[misnomer]

I'll have to dissagree, the pic looks genuine. If it was photoshopped, you should be able to notice a difference in the lighting angle, which just insn't apparent in the pic. It's an overcast day in the pic, so all shadow lines will be very blurred. I see darkness under the wheels. The windshield was creased, putting the flat surface facing the sun. In the top picture there seems to be a rope tied around the front of the hummer, and with the fire engine in the back. It makes too much sense to be photoshopped.

As far as rice goes. . . the term does get thrown around a lot. Personally, I use it to describe cars that are made to look fast, which are just driven around makin' noise with the fart tip exhausts, trying to street race, and all in all causing tasteless ruckus. I don't really like the rims on that Honda in the pic, but it's not really ricey.

And, for the record, chrome != rice, unless you're gonna call your classic cars ricey. . . &nbsp;Rice isn't what's used on the car, it's how it's used.

*disclaimer* Rice isn't meant to be a derogatory term against any person, company, state, nationality, political or sexual orientation, or staple diet. It's simply become the generally used term.

[matic 240sx]

i agree... chrome rims like that on some cheap ole civic? &nbsp;you think thats classy? &nbsp;chrome wheels on a lexus is classy... &nbsp; when your rims and tires cost as much as the car its supid... &nbsp;

[s15dude]

I don't think its photochopped either. It might be staged though cause if you look closely there is a wire holding the hummer onto the civic.

[mistert]

well since my definition that im sticking with is that rice is what doesnt belong on the car and trying to make it into something it isnt, i think chrome 18&quot; rims on a civic fits the bill perfectly. ok so maybe its not trying to look fast, but hes trying to look pimp. it just doesnt work on a civic, and i'd hate to think how much of a pain it is when he actually tries to take turns. i guess this is something your average showboy doesnt really think about

[LanceS13]

I just think it's kinda stupid that a thread intended to get a laugh out of an interesting picture turns into another #### rice argument. &nbsp;I could tell you what I think, but everybody that's getting taste mixed up with riceyness will tell me I'm wrong....so....

The pics look genuine to me but...what's the yellow thing on the civic's front quarter panel in the first pic that isn't there in the second one.

[mistert]

looks like a reflection

and yes why another argument, i dont care what you guys think of my usage of the term rice, i will use it where i think its applicable. i made this thread to show you a funny pic, not get 30 replies about what you think about the word rice. im sorry if i've offended anybody, prtehaps i should just say that the car looks ghetto, but 18&quot; rims and a big fat exhaust and pep boys chrome trim on a little civic EX fits my explanation of rice.

im sorry if i've ruined your whole F'ing day, i didnt mean to do anything wrong

[misnomer]

hehehe, GREAT PIC MAN, SOME FUNNY SHIT!!!!!111 ROFLMFAO!!! :-)

That watcha wanted? :-)

btw: that yeller things a reflection, given it's hue it looks like the daytime light from another car perhaps. And s15dood, if you look closely, that &nbsp;rope is just around the hummer, stretched taunt backwards, prolly hooked to a winch or another truck to pull the hummer off (hopefully without tipping it the rest of the way over <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>)

[NoTuchn]

i honestly thought that pic was funny... however fake looking it was... still funny.

but, now that everyones gone and over analyzed it... it kinda takes the fun out. &nbsp;but anyway.

im sticking with it being rice-y. chrome 18's and exhaust... on that? =ricey; any way you look at it.

[240enthusiast]

Actually, that pic has been circulating for awhile and that actually did happen. &nbsp;I believe it happened on an army base. &nbsp;The hummer lost control. &nbsp;Sucks to be whoever's car that was.

[transient]

Yeah, that doesn't look photoshopped at all, and you'd be amazed at what hummers can do.

As far as the rice thing goes, I agree that people get a bit crazy with it, but in their defense, those rims look like ass. The thing that bothers me is when people have these cars and think they're hot shit, u know? Actin like a pure gangsta. It's bullshit. I don't think anyone should be actin like that. I don't care if you're fucking richer than bill gates. That doesn't make you hot shit. Same reason i hate all these #### bullshit rappers talkin about all their f'n money and ho's &nbsp;all the time. It's such a childish mentality.

ok, that's my rant for the week.

hey man, chrome is not rice, chrome is black n mexican =P

[chickenmanq]

But dammit, all that aside, what's the story behind it!?

[Zenki Two40]

yeah, i don't know if there is an actual story since we hanven't heard one yet. i don't really care if neone uses the term &quot;rice&quot; on everything no more cuz i know i wouldn't wanna hang out w/ someone if all they're doin' is pointing at every car on the road n calling it rice.

[KoukiS14]

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my whole life.
