I've already been in Qatar for two days and haven't seen a single glow-in-the-dark Lamborghini. But at least overdone Honda Civics are popular the whole world over:

An old Ford Contour with big ugly wheels?  Okay, it's just a little bit ricey but....hold on a minute, what's this?




A "Turbo" badge?  There was never any such thing as Contour Turbo.  This now officially qualifies as rice.

I don't know what's worse, the shitty neon or the base lancer with the shitty hood.

This must be the "tuner" corner where all the cool guys park.

280Z Turbo

That's embarrassing to have in the parking lot. If I saw someone drive to an interview with that, I probably wouldn't hire them.

MrH

The Neon is infinitely worse.  The lancer is actually owned by a cool guy.  He was an idiot in high school, did that to his car, and has since learned better.  His stock Lancer blowin doors off and meltin faces is a running joke around the office :lol:

Yup, it's kind of sad really. The guy obviously has the cash to buy a R8, sadly someone should have vetted him before handing over the keys.

Chrome wrap, it looks stupid whether it's an R8 or a cobalt SS.

Here I was thinking how it's been quite a while since I've seen some truly shocking rice.  Then I stumbled across this a few months ago.....

Rice still lives!  You just have to look for it.
