I would say that if you park far away, and other nice cars park next to you, you can call it safe. Typically all the ignorant people that drive nice cars will still fight for the parking spaces close to the entrance.

everytime i see a sweet car i park next to it just because i think the cars will look cool side by side.

See, this shows insecurity on your part. First off, to slag Honda/Acura just makes you a) a sheep, following the herd here, or b) so insecure about your own car that you have to rag on others. No car is "rice" stock. Honda/Acura make some GREAT vehicles. Granted, most are FWD which is unfortunate for cars that deserve better (TSX!), but they still have quite fantastic drivetrains, particularly the transmissions.

Now, I will freely admit that Civics and Integras unfortunately fall victim to ricer mods more than other cars, but that's not the car, or the brand's fault.

Funny how you can slap Altezzas and big wings on a Civic and it's rice, but put clear tails (not the JDM OEM ones), a massive wig, and a CF hood with more vents and ducts than I care to count, and it's considered "clean."

(Note: I'm not hating on those that do this to their Zs. I respect individual tastes, and I sometimes think even big wings look good. I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy that exists here.)

Oh, and another reason why I mention you must be insecure. You associated the Nissan brand with Porsche?? Again...

Cars are not created rice, owners make the cars rice.
Any car, even a Z, can be riced out.

Could not have been said any better. Pure ignorance to say that those two NSX's that are easily triple the value of a Z/G bone stock is rice because it is Honda/Acura. I feel sorry for the small world you live in if you truely believe that. Seen plenty of riced out Z/G's, don't believe me then go to a HIN or local AZ meet. LMAO Good game!!

I'm guilty of all of the above. These are my parking preferences:
1) Park far, far away (but still visible)
1a) Pay for for Valet Parking, but park it myself.
2) Corner space, preferably to the left (I scratched my rims once when I pulled out because I forgot how close I parked on the right).
3) Park next to 35k and over cars
4) When all else fails, I look for other cars with similar paint colors.

Rice is what people make it out to be. These cars are most certainly not "ricers". Those cars are tastefully modded to the style that they were meant to be. I like a nice clean style. You can't call a honda rice and say that a nissan can not be. Rice would be putting a 2 feet tall spoiler, flame or checker style vinyl graphics all over, a fart can, spinning hubcaps, "danger zone" seat covers, bodykit from outer space, neons underneath, and a whole bunch of stickers of shiet you don't have on your car. With that being said, I appreciate the humor of the OP and all the others that get it.

When you park beside other rice mobiles you know they'll take as much care getting into their car without dinging their OWN car as opposed to parking beside a lifted jeep YJ

I do it all the time. In fact, from time to time, I'll double check to make sure there aren't any nearby sports oriented vehicles in the immediate premises before parking anywhere else.

This was 2 days ago (also at the mall), another LS parks infront of me:
So two days ago your car was stock but the first pics shows that it's modded. Did you remove your body kits or pulled an all nighter to get the mods on two days later?

Hum, this is a hard one. Is it the two Hondas or the two Toyotas?
