Title: The Rice Thread
Post by: the Teuton on August 11, 2007, 04:42:31 PM
Who has the worst rice?  Let's see it!
Just one rule:

-You have to have taken the pic yourself.

Other than that, let's see whose rice reigns supreme.  Good luck!

I'll start.

This car was actually customized by a famous shop (don't ask me which) and auctioned off for charity last year at the concours.  Here's the pic I will show right now from last year.

It has painted gold and purple steelies.  I'm not sure if it's rice, but it's eligible for this contest.  I'll post pics of the whole car later.

And doubles as a bench to seat on when you're just hanging out somewhere, you can hang your wet clothes, fish, etc. It's not only useful keeping your car stuck to the road during blistering 5 MPH traffic, it has daily life benefits as well.

Admittedly, I did not take these pics, so I'm breaking my own rule, but I have seen this car several times and every time I've not had my camera with me.  This car is just too good to let go without being included, though.

Sorry for cheating, but yes, I have actually seen this car in person a few times.  Must attribute to my friend DJ.  These are his.

I could, but then you would be even more disappointed with my craftsmanship. The point is, it functions. It's not supposed to look good. I'm just glad the stuff comes in black and not somthing more conspicuous. It's functional.  :P

I just kinda screwed mine right on there, and the plastic wansn't quite flexible enough to fit the contour of the bumper 100%, so I had to cut some slots in it to provide some flexing area, which is why mine looks a bit sloppy, and there are two screws that aren't lined up with the rest.

Good idea. I'll remember that next time (I still have plenty of spare edging!). I was pretty hasty with it, since I was outside sitting in gravel and getting sand in my shorts. If I actaully had a garage, my car would probably look more like this:

Yeah, there's a guy I see driving around in a lime-green with gold-flakes late-model Eagle Talon TSi. It's a pretty fast car, I'm sure he's got a boost upgrade because it's damn near as fast as my 05 Mustang off the line, but the ground kit was massive and ugly, he had four fog lights on the front, two enormous, non-functional hood scoops + one of those idiotic roof scoops, and yellow and orange pin-striping. And rims that are solid with no spokes and about 20" in diameter, must weigh a ton, waaaay to big for the car. Quick or not, it was definitely one ugly POS. My first reaction is "rice!". Well, that's my second reaction, my first is throwing up a bit in my mouth when I see it.

Ironically it has no spoiler when the stock car has a gigantic bat-wing.

Yes.

If it is trying to look faster than it is, is poorly executed, and laden with cheap tack-on aftermarket crap, then it's rice.

There are an astounding number of riced-out Corvettes in this area.

Yes. I think of it as a reference to things that are over-decorated with little or no aesthetic value, al-a the northern Japanese trend of the Dekotora.

I remember rice as simply being sport compacts that were done up as race car replicas without any of the performance parts to go along with it. All show and no go also describes '50s customs and lowriders, which aren't rice. Putting stickers for parts you dont' have is rice. Putting a 5 inch exhaust tip on a 1 1/2" stock exhaust is rice. Custom paint and lowering isn't. Unless that custom paint is a race car paint job on a stock econobox.

And yeah, it's rice when it's really poorly done, or done for a joke.

:nono: thats the M sedan! It's missing the 3, they should have just left the 325i on it, and stuck a M badge infront of it.

I've seen a E39 5 series with a M3 badge on the rear....

It's probably a 318i actually.  :lol:

I missed a riced Civic with stock steel rims up front and some other rims at the back, and probably the second riciest Eclipse I've seen, the first one had a Ferrari 360 rear, McLaren F1 sides and I think Mitsu Evo front.

Anyway I got these yesterday.

HKS Charade!

Well then Mr. Dunham missed the mark at least with you.

Its supposed to look like a Cadillac Fleetwood front end, and the rest of the car is Corvette based. Dunham Coachworks was a small, but rather infamously gaudy concern that did things like that. I've posted pictures of his Corvorados before as well.

Eh, I think rice covers a broader spectrum than that.  I think tacky and or poorly done modifications can be considered rice, as well.

There are clean body-kits on Accords, then there are multi-colored hoods, 4-inch fart cans, and rust clashing with the freshly applied, non-painted "aero" kit.

That's rice.

Naw, that's just poor customization. :lol: Rice(r) was and is pretty specific, as defined by the people that made up the term. But, like roadster and sports car, everybody thinks that any old definition is acceptable, muddying up the definition until it's meaningless.

Rice is mostly the attitude that the slow car is fast, and if you were on the web in the mid '90s you'd see it in the myriad of posts on automotive forums by those with aZyN PrYdE, bagging on truly fast cars by saying their Civic DXs were fast due to the fart cannons and nology wires. They would race anything ands the moment the winner would slow down, they'd blaze past with flashers on signifying a "win" on their part. I was there during the rise of the phenomenon and can attest to what ricers truly are.

And as I come from a custom car background, through street rods, '50s and '60s customs and the like, I get peeved when mere customizing like those Angry Eyes mods get lumped in with ricers and race car replicas. it's like nick calling my tiny little M style lip spoiler a huge tacky wing. all it does is show off intolerance and a brand of ignorance that isn't pretty in a supposed automotive enthusiast. Especially one as otherwise knowledgeable as our friend Christian.

ok...

Lets lay down some laws

A. Rice shall be refered herein to as any car with modifications believed or designed to make said car look like a higher performing model.  Rice includes, but is not limited to, Oversized wings, "buzz bomb" exhaust, "performance Stickers" Body Kits, etc.
     I.  Any car with these modifications will not be considered rice if the modifications are in fact designed to show off the cars true potential, or aid in it.

B. "Ricer" shall not and is not used as a racial degridation dowards Asian people.  "ricer" is solely used to describe any person who has a attitude of superiority over their fellow driver due to their modified car.  Dumbass will be used to describe any person who thinks their car is faster, when in fact it is determined to be a "rice" vehicle.

C.  POS shall refer to any car with poorly executed modifications.  Any car that has misaligned, rusted pannels (with a new body kit) mis-matching paint, different wheels, and or poorly maintained car will be considered a POS.  If said owner cannot afford a new car, or simply chooses to spend his money in more sensible ways, his car will be exempt from the POS classification.

This one is just priceless.  I think it used to be a Mitsubishi Eclipse.  Check out the quality workmanship on this ride!

Well can you explain the rear quarter difference.

I followed the black Camry for a while down the DVP. I think I would've noticed the defining feature of having the wrong quarter. I also have a photo of it.

Not that I care that there's any reason for you to lie. But that there are so many things that are suggesting a lie.

As I said, I've been teasing him abotu teh rear quarter for a few months now, and he may very well have gotten it fixed. I also said that I only know of the plate being 416 (because it's my cell phone's area code). I'm not sure about the ALTC part. I'll ask him later.

Not sure bout the license plate frame. When I sold it to him it had "Erin Park Lexus Toyota" on it.

Admittedly, I did not take these pics, so I'm breaking my own rule, but I have seen this car several times and every time I've not had my camera with me.  This car is just too good to let go without being included, though.

Sorry for cheating, but yes, I have actually seen this car in person a few times.  Must attribute to my friend DJ.  These are his.

The E36 is the most common M ever made, if I'm not mistaken.  They're not that rare.  Crosswire's is an Luxury model with a 5 speed, though, which is kinda rare.  Also, he has a lot of AC Schnitzer body pieces and the Euro angel eye HID headlights.  It's not quite run-of-the-mill.

Although it looks stupid, you must give him or her credit on the fact that it is a clean job.  Most rice over here consists of a unpainted "areo kit" horribly glued on and sanded down, usually resulting in the adjacent body pannels being partially sanded down too.

What does he drive, you must be wondering?

Notice the tail light reflectors in all the parked cars around there: they're all lit up. That took a sizeable on-camera flash, and using one would also explain the way the car is lit, and why the background brightness is so different from the foreground brightness. A polarizing filter was used to both cut the glare on the glass and to bring out more of the pearlescent effect of the paint.

NICE! I especially love the little plaque of diamond plate on the side of the wing. Without that, the whole design would fall apart.

I guess the roll cage makes sense.  That wing generates s00per G's in the corners, and the autobox helps him to concentrate better.  It's good to have the safety net though.

That, and judging by those air scoops, he did a mid engine swap.

I rather like it. The Wing and front bumper look to be stock from the Celica GT-S.
Title: Re: The Rice Thread
Post by: Sigma Projects on May 07, 2008, 02:30:17 AM
the spoiler is stock for the GTS, but the front bumper has waay too much lip, the side skirts are kinda like a GTS, but a bit different. if he didn't have the side schoops and blue painted interior i'd really like it, those 7th gen celicas were really light. And if he had the GT spoiler it would suck to use the rear view mirror, having it higher up is actually nice for those cars. I cut off a truck in a GT model because the spoiler blocked out his head lights at night and I couldn't see him.....

1996-97 Accord LX Coupe Ricer Edition.  Interesting use of matte black bumpers and sill extensions contrasted with a burgundy red rear wing on a beige car.  Is this sort of "Tri-Tone" colour scheme the Next Big Thing in the Ricer community?

Standard ricer fare: badly tinted windows, single wiper, ugly wheels, fart can exhaust.

Madman, that's called  a "bubble" because of its roundish shape from the 1990s.  Lifted cars on massive rims are called donks, boxes, and bubbles.  They're all donks, but a 1980s lifted Caprice, for instance, is a box.

It's a new car culture that started somewhere near Miami.

Yep! My ex girl was in Miami back in 2003 and she called me taking about these cars with big ass wheels. I blew her off because big wheels were the norm (20"-22" back then)around here. But when I saw the pics she took I was blow away! Lifted Impalas and Cutlas with 26" rims.

Saw a perfect example for this thread yesterday. I was on my way home from a car show and dinner at Quaker Steak.

Sadly I didn't have enough time to snap a picture.

JDM is the new rice. Rotas + absdynamics lip (your choice of Mugen style or Type-R style) + one of those Japanese beginner stickers = the '08 version of a body kit

I already posted this one in "Spotted Today" but it really deserves to be featured here in The Rice thread!



Here's an awful riced-out Mustang.  I had to quickly snap these shots whilst the guy was inside paying.

I've seen this car on the road a couple of times and couldn't believe it.  As luck would have it, I finally stumbled across it parked at a shopping centre with the owner nowhere in sight.  It has to be seen to be believed!

I proudly present the world's most badly modified Nissan 350Z in history!

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2685.jpg?t=1285196530)



The bodykit looks like it was tacked on with a hammer and nails!

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2686.jpg?t=1285196624)



Marvel at the tight-fitting panel gaps!  :wtf:

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2683.jpg?t=1285196702)



Is there a fuel filler nozzle somewhere deep inside this hole?  I love the exposed rivets, too!

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2688.jpg?t=1285196776)



He fitted a wide-body kit but didn't bother to widen the car's track?  Err, okay.

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2684.jpg?t=1285196924)



What quality craftsmanship!

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2687.jpg?t=1285197011)



Evidently, he didn't have a ruler with which to cut a straight line?  Even the exposed rivet heads don't line-up with each other!

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2689.jpg?t=1285197085)



Wheels and tyres look lost deep inside the wheel arches.

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2690.jpg?t=1285197214%5B/imd%5D%3Cbr%20/%3E%3Cbr%20/%3E%3Cbr%20/%3E%3Cbr%20/%3EOverspray%20on%20the%20headlamp%20covers? %20Check.%3Cbr%20/%3E%3Cbr%20/%3E%5Bimg%5Dhttp://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2691.jpg?t=1285197909)



I have no idea what this means.  I'm guessing the owner doesn't, either.

First one is just a lowered 3 series convertible... I see no M badge.

And that E38 looks good too. I'd probably do mine something like that, though I'd lower the rear more.

Yeah I agree. 

I did however see a riced out Mustang yesterday.  It was a 2008 GT with Altezza tail lights, dubs, a bunch of tacky bodykit shit and then S H E L B Y across the trunk lid.  I don't like it when people try to pass their cars off as something their not with actual badges.  If you want to make a clone, then go ahead, that's cool.  I've always wanted to build a 1996 Cobra R clone, but I would never put SVT or the snake anywhere on it.  That part is not cool.

Hehehe. Its not trying to look like an M7 race car. It's just a hot rod 7. The guys on the 7 boards have this argument all the time about putting an M or M7 badge on the back of a Sport model 7 series, as "there were no M7s." But since the Sport model had 5 discrete M badges on it from the factory, it's easy to understand why an owner would call the car an M7. So it's not really ricey. Now, a Kia Optima with M7 badges, that's rice.

But using ricey as a generic term for any customized car is simply getting ridiculous.

I agree. I hate all the SS clones and such. I have no problem with modifying a car and putting SS, SVT, or M stuff on it, but to then claim it's the real thing is dumb. Same with Factory Five Cobra kits. They're cool cars and I love them, but I just laugh when someone tries to say it's an original Cobra.

That Ssangyong Kyron was not stock. He had some weird external lighting systems on the exterior, some weird bumper (front and rear) modifications and a bunch of other non-stock features.

My junior year, I encountered an "S65" which was in actuality a 00'-02' S430 with poorly aligned quad exhaust tips, tacky looking wheels, etc.  I left him a note on his windshield "Nice S430 ;-) " but he was probably too stupid to figure it out.

There was a kid I used to see at work who drove a 2008 2.5I Impreza with spray painted 16" wrx wheels circa 2005, one of those stupid looking JDM Tite mufflers that come out at a wonky angle, and a bunch of "rally" effects like RallyArmor mud flaps and miscellaneous chassis braces. I find that to be pretty tacky. That's how I would define rice; tasteless mods that do little to nothing to enhance actual performance; or labelling/badging a car as being something it isn't like WRX or STI badges on cars that don't even break 200hp...

Oh dear, that would be pretty much every other Impreza. It's true, Subaru is the new Rice. :(

The S500 came standard with headlamp washers.  A quick scan of the inside revealed no such button to control them (located to the right of the headlamp knob).

Those cars are still extremely expensive to fix - even if one goes to a local mechanic and skimps on as much as possible, Air Suspension, wiring harness's COMAND, etc - they all run thousands of dollars. 

But yes, they have become "Ghetto Cruisers" as my friend refers to them - a good 2/3rds of those driving around in the city have tacky chrome bits, gaudy wheels, portholes ( :facepalm:) etc.  What a pity.

The Airmatic is really pretty easy to fix on your own.  Took about an hour on my buddy's S500.  Got a rebuilt shock that addresses the weaknesses that the standard shock has.  Got it for $600.

Yup, when my friend had his S500, it had ~70,0000 miles on it and within the first two-three months, he had to spend something like $4000 getting various stuff fixed. Not cheap in the slightest.

I wonder if it's possible to change back to conventional shocks.

I'm not scared of mechanical bits... I am pretty good at the cheap parts game. What worries me about these luxury cars are the needlessly complex electronics. I could see how getting someone to diagnose a problem with COMAND could end up in a huge bill...

I don't know. I would qualify carbon fiber body parts and lightweight wheels rice if the car is a dog. You can pretty much replace every removable body panel on a Civic with carbon fiber, but at the end of the day if it still has that wheezy 4 banger hooked to a 4 spd auto it's ricey.

COMAND can be expensive, and seeing how outdated the capabilities/UI are (It was designed in 1998, mind you, a year before COMAND equipped cars hit European streets) it's almost not worth it to fix.  I've seen a few cases where people replace the COMAND head unit with an aftermarket one, but 99% of the time, it looks terrible. 

My dads friend had a 2002 S500 which he purchased with 25k on the clock - at 45k, the entire wiring harness needed to be replaced.  Although his Mercedes warranty covered the warranty, it was still out of commission for two weeks and would have cost him 9k if it wasn't covered.  It has 125k on it right now and hasn't had a single problem since...

Actually, I do.  I'm in Bellevue, which is a nice (but rather quiet and sleepy) bedroom community.  But I don't have to drive very far to to find myself in a not-so-classy area.  That Stratus was spotted in Sylvan Park, West Nashville, which is a slightly seedy area but is becoming a bit nicer thanks to trendy younger people who have discovered the old (but still attractive) period houses in the area and have been buying and restoring them.  Despite Sylvan Park's somewhat "rough-round-the-edges" vibe, it's just a stone's throw away from Belle Meade, a VERY posh, upscale, old-money sort of neighbourhood.

Remember the awesomly bad Nissan 350Z?

(A reminder, if you need one...)  http://www.carspin.net/forums/index.php?topic=10609.msg1399647#msg1399647

Well, I finally was able to get some updated photos of what it looks like now.

I think rice is dying off in my state. I don't see nearly as many mawdded cars as I used to. Could ricing be linked to economy? Maybe the government should publish a Fast 'n Furious index along with its other indicators of economic health.

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.

Especially for something as minor as that weak burnout.  It'd be one thing if they did something really dangerous/reckless, but a little tire-squeal really didn't warrant that kind of foul-mouthed tirade, regardless of whether he'd just pulled those clowns over or not.  They certainly deserved to get some sort of reprimand for that, and I can't blame him for raising his voice and shouting a bit, but that kind of language was a bit extreme. 

Then again, who knows how much other BS that officer had already had to put up with at that little gathering.  For all we know, they gave him a real hard time at the traffic stop that had occurred just before the start of the video, or several others at the gathering were hassling him and he was at the end of his rope.

Oh I'm sure he had to deal with a bunch of crap that night and I can see why he'd be pissed. But being a cop means you have to demonstrate self control at all times. He should have just slapped the biggest ticket possible on the losers.

Well, yeah, if the kid had the audacity to peel out like that (however weak it may have been) after just being pulled over, chances are he was a pretty punkass dumbass that gave the cop a bunch of shit.  I cant' tell what the kid's saying as he's sitting next to his car on the ground, but he looks like he's mouthing off some sort of "fuck cops" kinda bullshit.  Hope he learned his damn lesson.

But I saw this while eating chow at Burger King (God bless America!).  :praise:

Not really, they can look great if pulled off right (as they appeared to have been on that W211)

Not rice per se, but this is the closest we Krauts get to see it thanks in part to the strict rules and checkups of the T?V.

Tramp stamp on the rear window, small fat and portruding tires, non-stock mirrors, removed VW badge from the grille, crap interior modifications. Only got one shot because I had my massive 70-200mm lens on and couldn't get shots of the other angles because of this.

The STS and SLS moniker have been around since the late 90's, and were used as name changes for the Seville when Cadillac started using alphanumeric names (starting with the CTS)


SLS was luxury

STS was sport (theoretically)



In fact, I think Rockraven has a FWD STS.

I've never driven an Opel Omega (ridden in them though) but I wouldn't call them sporty in any way though (but probably compared to the typical mainstream car in the US they probably came across as "sporty"). I'm sure they have competent handling but they weren't marketed as sports sedans or as a car with sporty pretensions. Just your average boring full-size European family sedan of that era, that's what they were.  :ohyeah:

Well at least you can turn this rice off!!! :wtf:

A lip kit and some aftermarket wheels can turn something mundane into something individual and exciting. I think Wimmer puts too much stock in the manufacturer's visions of cars. Nothing wrong with some understated customization. My only gripes are when shit is poorly done (the Civic Madman posted for example), or when cosmetic modifications are extreme well beyond the capabilities of the vehicle (i.e. a big bookshelf wing on a 100HP economy car). But for example that silver Opel wagon looks great to me.

And i'm going to disagree with you, in return. Personalization is not bad in and of itself. it CAN be, but the act of doing it is not. Just like you can have a girl with nice makeup and jewelry, and one with too much makeup and jewelry, and a good makeover can do wonders (see fashion photography). Cars are no different, A lot of them are ok, but plain, and can be really spiced up and made much nicer with well selcted aftermarket bodywork/paint/wheels/accessories. And most of what Wimmer posts are mild, well done mods. And I don't believe his claims of "they don't allow much real rice here" as I've seen some insane customs out of Germany. CArs like that Opel wagon are mild, well done personalizations.

Just modified where it improves the function of the car or simply look better without the fake fuctional looking stuff is not.

Like the fake BMW/Lancer ChrisV posted would be rice because it's a fake.

And I don't believe his claims of "they don't allow much real rice here" as I've seen some insane customs out of Germany.

Any modifications to a vehicle need to be cleared by the inspectors. However for many aftermarket parts the manufacturer simply gets a type approval, either a general one, or specific to cars.

It was interesting; the Fifa World Cup in Germany 2006, really kicked off a wave of flag waveing that the country had not seen since, well, the Third Reich. Many vehicles looked like this:

Technically the flags are also a violation, since there were no tests conducted that they won't fly off and hit someone in the face. Indeed some police officers did start handing out tickets. The top brass of the state police departments then issued directions to their officers to stop ruining sport  spirit.

This guy...

I'm sure many of you will remember the horrific Nissan 350Z I keep spotting.  Every time i see it, it gets worse and worse.

As a reminder, here are the first photos I was able to get, taken in September of 2010:

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2685.jpg?t=1285196530)



The bodykit looks like it was tacked on with a hammer and nails!

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2686.jpg?t=1285196624)



Marvel at the tight-fitting panel gaps!  :wtf:

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2683.jpg?t=1285196702)



Is there a fuel filler nozzle somewhere deep inside this hole?  I love the exposed rivets, too!

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2688.jpg?t=1285196776)



He fitted a wide-body kit but didn't bother to widen the car's track?  Err, okay.

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2684.jpg?t=1285196924)



What quality craftsmanship!

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2687.jpg?t=1285197011)



Evidently, he didn't have a ruler with which to cut a straight line?  Even the exposed rivet heads don't line-up with each other!

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2689.jpg?t=1285197085)



Wheels and tyres look lost deep inside the wheel arches.

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2690.jpg?t=1285197214)



Overspray on the headlamp covers?  Check.

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2691.jpg?t=1285197909)



I have no idea what this means.  I'm guessing the owner doesn't, either.

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2692.jpg?t=1285197538)




In October of 2010, I spotted a guy in this same car pulling out of Hooters (so you know he's a classy sort of fellow!) but it was dark and he was on the move, so a photo was out of the question.  By this point, he'd painted the bottom half of the doors black.  Obviously, this masterpiece was still a work in progress!


By December of 2010 I spotted it again and was able to snap a few pics from the safety of my car before the owner and his girlfriend came back out.

(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2877.jpg?t=1292290809)

.
(http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/MadmanOfThePeople/100_2879.jpg?t=1292291156)

The red 350Z parked next to it was pretty bad, too!


I hadn't seen this monstrosity since then and I sort of assumed the owner had either crashed it or perhaps one of his ill-advised engine modifications had lunched the engine.  Then, lo and behold, I spotted it again just this past week!  It was parked outside a sleezy-looking tattoo parlour (where else?) along a busy road.  Since it was parked right outside the plate glass window of the tattoo parlour and I could see some semi-evolved neanderthals sitting inside, I knew I was taking a huge risk snapping these pictures.  However, I'm sure you will agree that risking life and limb was absolutley worth it!  The things I do for CarSPIN!!!

As I was briskly walking past and trying to discretely take the last photo, a young girl comes out of the tattoo parlour and shouts at me about why I'm taking pictures of the car.  I pretended to be on my mobile phone so that I wouldn't have to acknowledge her and made a hasty escape to my car which I wisely parked a few doors down the street.  Knowing the area pretty well, I zig-zaged down a few side roads in case anyone tried to follow me by car.  Luckily, I managed to make a clean escape.

The carbonfibre hood/bonnet is new and there appears to be a bit more stick-on chrome but otherwise it's still as awful as ever!

I also noticed the number plate has changed.  Possibly a new owner, perhaps?  (Note: in Tennessee the plate stays with the driver, not the car)

I hope you have enjoyed the evolution of the world's worst Nissan 350Z.  If I see it again, I'll try to get some more pics.  Let's hope I don't get shot doing so!

There's a neat little trick I use to get myself out of situations like that if caught.

I was once caught by a ricer (the mild unimpressive German rice we have here) photographing his shitbox. I think it was an Opel Corsa or a VW Polo, can't remember, it was so long ago, but he asked me what I was doing and I told him "I have the exact same car and wanted to modify it and his car is an inspiration to me." He actually bought my bullshit and even gave me some addresses of bodyshops which I forgot the moment I left. I could care less. :lol:

So, if you're caught, just bullshit your way through by claiming you have a Nissan 350Z at home as your weekend fun car and you want to modify it and that his car is an "inspiration" to you.  :lol:

This is (or rather, was) a Hyundai Tiburon.  Who the hell is going to pay $3,900 for this?

POOR customization makes a car less valuable. But decent customization makes it MORE valuable. Trust me, I haven't lost money on a single modified car I've built. My V8 RX7, for example, was worth, and sold for, more than 3 times what a stock one in the same condition would sell for. Price a stock, restored Model A, and then price a well built hot rod version. Price a Pro Touring car for sale vs a stock version of whatever car it's built off of.

A car like that Tiburon, yeah, not going to be worth as much as a stock one (and at $3900, it looks to be priced lower than a stock one would go for in good shape).

If you do all the work, yourself, then you can make some mooolah in the end. Otherwise, I don't think most customized/modded/restored/restomodded/custorestomodded cars are a good financial investment.

Couldn't get a shot of the front, but believe me, this was rice.

1) Huge wing at the rear
2) Fart pipe
3) Playboy sticker on side rear window and tramp stamp on rear window
4) Crappy aftermarket body kit
5) Nice star-shaped crappy rims

and

6) IT'S A HONDA!  :devil:


And then we had this piss yellow Audi A4. Looks normal, except for the color, but he had this ugly ass front body kit and the underside of that body kit was filled with LEDs. Looked totally crap.

HAHAHA, I visited Taiwan recently. There was a rice mobile parked on the side of the road. I had to explain to my native friend what a rice boy or rice car is. He didn't quite understand, but he grasped the idea. He was just confused, "Why rice?" Well......long conversation about cultures and vehicular history.

I think after that he just pretended to understand and nodded his head.  He was confounded.

You should see the interior! It looks like that tuck and roll crap that lowriders used to do back in the 80s and 90s! I has Lambo doors also! I can never catch a pic of it at the car wash by my house! The interior is actually worse than the exterior!

I really need to get a picture of the cars owned by the mullet-wearing Mexicans at the top of my street. My favorite is an early 90s Accord that has "TYPE R" in one window and "NASCAR" in the other, among other things. Then there's the Silverado with a "SEXY EYES" window banner and air shocks in the front for no apparent reason.

I saw a green 13 year old Camry with a huge mis-matched wing, rimz, weird square exhaust tip, and no badges (though their outlines were still there), except a TRD badge. It was dark so no pics.

I get that shit in the GTI. At least once a month, a dipshit in a fartcanned Civic/Tiburon/Integra (not to mention newer Sis) will try and race me. Last time it happened was on my way to VT, when a 2003 Tiburon replete with fart can, body kit on the verge of disintegrating, AND flashing reverse lights (?!) kept provoking me.

One of the downsides to driving a sport compact.

I only had one guy try to race me while I had the SVTC. It was one of those strange looking Civic SiR's hatchback things we got here a few years ago. I didn't want any part of him (broad daylight, biggest street in town, cops are everywhere around this place). Good thing I didn't either, heard his BOV after he raced ahead  :lol:

Earning the nod of approval from knuckle-draggers like these is reason enough ditch BRZ.  Yeah, it's a nice car but the fact neanderthals like these tend to gravitate towards it is enough to make me scratch it off my list!.

Civics have been good to drive in base trim. And they have a reputation of slaughtering cars 10X the price not only at the drag strip, but on the circuit as well.



Ricers don't know that, though.

Not in Boise. I bet there's a lot more wrong with it, too. For one, the front valance thing looks like it's sticking out a lot. Also, not starting sometimes? Could be a loose wire, or could be the DME. Ruined rear spoiler, I think, means whole new rear hatch, which is $$$. It also appears to be the earlier model with the less-good suspension and '70s dash. Finally, 150 kmiles is pretty high for that money. There are actually a few better 944s for cheaper on Boise CL now.

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.

:wanker:

At least its better then the asshat M3 owners locally that are plastidiping their entire cars blue, green, or black...

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.....

I just noticed what appears to be either a decepticon or autobot symbol on the hood (somewhat camouflaged by the peeling paint).

There's an hourly assembler at work who drives a V8 camaro, decked out in transformer shit. Why do you want your car to immortalize a terrible, out of date Michael Bay movie? I just don't fucking get it at all.

Reviving an ancient thread from the grave. I present a circa-1996 5th-Gen Accord with the weirdest rear valance thing, with symmetrical bits peeling off the sides. Probably for downforce that kicks in at 130 mph & higher. It reeked of unburnt hydrocarbons and crawled at a slow pace so guessing not much horsepower anymore. Note the cutout, a void for the extra pair of pipes that never were.

You shouldn't eat old rice. It will give you food poisoning. It must be thrown out. Altezzatoxin!
