German rice.

Rice? That's KRAUT!

This used to be a Ford Escort...in front...

I kinda like it, though.

Seriously? The paint job is a total FAIL IMO.

[Rupert]

It's rat-rodish, and the wedge shape kind of complements the wedge shape of the car...

I'm not a fan of flat black (to me, it looks like walmart spray paint) but I think this is OK. Don't see how it's "rice".

Like I said. I am not blessed with the rice you guys encounter, so any car that is remotely tuned up or looks silly to me gets posted here.

Bear in mind that Germany's strict T?V inspection regimen makes the most outrageous examples of "Rice" illegal to operate on public roads.  The sort of badly modified crapboxes posted on this thread would never pass a German roadworthiness inspection.

Yep, exactly. That organization prevents me from seeing crap on the road and posting it here!

Here's you chance to own a pre-riced 2001 Civic coupe!



Two-tone paint (looks like primer to me) and crass-looking wheels come as standard.

Doesn't look like they bothered to vacuum it out, either, once they stole the stereo out of the dashboard.

But all the change is still there!

If the trunk lid was orange I'd drive that car.

Come on! The standard model looks way better than this abortion.

Or the 156 GTA! 

[2o6]

I think the color is a bit strong, but I actually think it's fairly tasteful.

[NomisR]

Except for the tail lights... they look tacky.

[Rupert]

Wimmer, you know what rape and abortion are, right? It's bad enough to use them to describe non-rape and non-abortion, but it's much worse when what you're trying to describe really isn't that bad.

[Laconian]

Yeah, some of that stuff is downright tasteful compared to the crazy-cambered, plywood-winged, smoke-screening late term abortions we have running around here.

I know, I know. But I meant to use them in a "funny" way regarding this hideously modified Alfa Romeo.

You usually do, and you usually fail. Just saying.

Such directness!

German ancestry? 

[Rupert]

Also Hungarian and Dutch.

Today I saw a Lincoln MK LT with a really cheap-looking hood scoop tacked on the hood and a wing on the back of the bed cover

Epic.  Stupid punkass kids.  I'd have done the same if I were that cop.
