Rice is for visual effect, I have nothing that has dramatic visual effect on my car, except my wheels

# Rice burner, a pejorative used initially to describe Asian-made — specifically Japanese-made — motorcycles and automobiles. Many variations have also been used, such as rice rocket for Japanese sport bikes. More contemporary use of the term rice burner, along with the prefix rice, has taken on an alternate pejorative meaning for an automobile that has been modified to give impression of high performance, but does not necessarily have any high-performance capabilities (RICE - Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements).

oh yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!mmmm rice!!!!

Someone got offended . . .

Everyone but ricers knows what is meant by "rice." It's kind of like Shakespeare or Far Side comics or kissing . . . if you have to have it explained, you've already missed the boat.

Srt4s are always good for a laugh.

Edit: I owned an 01 Civic. It was a really nice little car.

No, I really did like the blue 02 Si's when they came out. They are cute cars stock. I almost bought one once.

I hate hondas for if no other reason... 99% of the time I have to manuver quick to avoid a collision it is followed by "efin honda"... why is it ALWAYS a honda owner?!?!?! wtf? and it isn't numbers, we have FAR more toyotas and nissans prowling the streets here.

that being said, i'd have to say secondary is the "ricer boy next door" annoyance probably the only platform out there where stupid freaking leds with wires sticking out with exposed glue and spinning hubcaps and smashed to hell bodykits held on with decking brackets are all somehow more important than fixing the blown head gasket or the grinding brakes, or decent tires.

by the way, my comute was made 40 minutes longer for some a%#hat ecomuter in a civic that had his necesary downforce aluminum wing rip off last week.

If you have unlimited funds then this wasn't a waste of money but rather a waste of time.

I now cringe at the thought of what your SVX may end up looking like.
