To each to their own

*scratches head*  sorry but did u mean to post something or somewhere else?

Sorry dude, just thought that whoever the guy was that owned the car you put the link up to was either an example of a drug child (no offence if any are reading this), chronic inbreeding (once again - not something someone does by choice), or an argument for compulsory sterilisation - personally I favour the acid theory.

Please don't stop this thread - I really enjoy reading it, and keep up the ricey photos - perhaps we should get a copy of the Ronald Macdonald Toyota in here too?

Here is a thought, start a sticky thread with an invitation to post any example of rice - should be a good way to releive some stress when things get too much, just log on and unwind.

What ya reckon?

From now on we call Grendanko as

"RICE POLICE!"

Patronising aside, I too think that people should do whatever they want to their car. Just, they better be able to handle constructive criticisms from other (offended) owners.

Grandenko

your gonna have to take that sticker off your car

as it gives you no credability what so ever to go around bagging ricers

since the sticker makes you a closet ricer yourself:uh-huh:

[ix9]

what sticker's this gradenko ??. huh ?

some mod should change Gradenko's title (under his name) to "Rice Cop"... LOL...

[Gradenko]

skyzerr33, which sticker is that, SDU or RTRFM? See, no rice

yes. that'll be the one.

[Gradenko]

Bloody hell, RTR is gold! I've got major gripes against listeners of commercial radio stations, but I'll that for another thread .

[Boostzor]

Yeh i got the RTRFM sticker aswell, if anything it proves ure not a 92.9 listening moron (no offense 2 any1 who listens to crap like that(each to their own eh))

[bully]

Kym u seen that P Plater in the greenie blue /hyundai with the wing of a f111 on it around rocky -- look out for it now thats rice

[skyzerr33]

hmm we'll have to ping denish for his boost gauge then

and bully that think lives just around the corner from me

its scary

[Boostzor]

Ok heres a reason why rice is popular:

Driving down Stirling in Gradenkos old Lancer which BTW had one kikass stereo in it.

He has 2 alpine amps in the boot so therefore he has to have the 'V12' sticker on the back window.

These ppl pull up next to him and the guy looks across and says. "is that a v12 engine" "i thought it would be too small for that"?

Needless to say we didnt stop laughing for around 30mins and he did seem a little insulted as he drove off.

My point is that these are the kind off ppl ricers are trying to impress. COMPLETE MORONS:bahaha:

U gotta admit for that price range u can do alot better but ppl buy em cause they have a reputation of class. Which is fair enuff if ure 50 and use it as an a-b but if ure 20 and drive a 318i ure just a plain old fashioned poser.

i think ur generalising a bit here. Yes the M's are magnificent cars, 250kw's (or there abouts) out of a 3.2 Straight Six. Very impressive. 294kw's out of a 4.9 V8, very impressive. Where holden manages a meager 225kw out of a 5.7 V8...hmmm, something wrong here.

anyways. I agree with ur 318i, for what u spend on that, you could get a very nice Skyline. But that's where it stops. A 330ci, or 330i, 530i, any of the 7 series, are awesome cars. The handle beautifully, go really well (the 330ci is a quick car) and have awesome brakes. BMW's are known for their handling. But they are not all meant to be sports cars! That's the M's job. Cannot say that ur a poser if u have a BMW (exception of 20 in 318i) They are beautiful cars, and definitely see myself in one when i just wanna cruise.

[Munro]

Respect. BMWs are beautiful cars.In fact, I would say that they are so refined, & so good to drive, that they are one of the best cars around.After driving my R34 around for a couple of hours I cant wait to park it & get out.Then again, I do like looking at it from the outside.With the E46 M3, you just want to keep on driving.Handling - awesome, Power delivery - very nice, street cred - well the E36 was PCOTY in '96, & the E46 is sooo much ricer

(excuse me - nicer) in fact I liked it so much I've got one being built in Feb 03. Probably won't fit stickers or neons though.

I think the "Ricer" argument is a matter of not recognising that young guys, who do not have the means to buy wild driveline components, & who would love to modify their cars like we do, are

just doing something different & fun till they are ready to seriously

compete with the older(more financial) group who pride themselves on clean, powerful, but more classy looking cars.

At least they are doing something creative, rather than banging drugs up their nose or whatever.Although, I must admit, a few cars I have seen made me wonder if thats what they had been doing just before they did up the car!!!
