What is rice?
I keep hearing people throwing the term "rice" around and it got me thinking. What is your idea of rice?
Here is mine... It's a Honda with a TRD sticker (among other things)

Frozen Rice!
I tend to think of the term when I see a car that is cheaply and badly put together. I see them all the time. Beat up looking Civics w/ faded paint, chrome hubcaps, Brospeed resonated exhaust tip, Altezza taillights, and LED wiper nozzles. I actually saw a car this morning that made me say rice in my head. A neon green 4 door neon w/ white graphics. Paint was chipping all over the body, steel wheels, fat exhaust tip. Just looked horrible in my opinion.
Do it right the first time or don't do it at all.

Ricer [risse-urr] N.
[Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt]
A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are
Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their high performance hamsters.
Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, Mitsubishi Eclipses, Subaru Imprezas, Toyota Camrys, Corollas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some supras, skylines, wrx' and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.
The "ricer" attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or color, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles. One last thing, these crackers will talk a lot of **** about their cars too.
Almost every rice contains the following:
Any combo of 4 or more of the items above or below classifies the car as rice.
Neon glow underneath (street glow)
Many meaningless stickers
Japanese writing of any kind
Racing stripes
Silly-*** body kit
Lowered to far
More than one exhaust (that came with only 1 stock)
Huge stereo
Racing seats.

My opinion......
Rice = Any one of the following:
-Coffee can exhaust
-Stickers of performance parts
-Big goofy spoiler (aluminum or not)
-Custome clear tail lights
-Wide mouth body kits, or just big outragous body kits
-Or just any other really stupid sh*t people like to do to their cars

I think the best way to tell is by their idiotic driving, and the fact that you can hear exactly how long it's taking them to catch up to you, thanks to the coffee-can exhaust amplifying that toy-car engine sound (And it takes a lo-ong time, if it's a true ricer).
Rice is a food. Ricers are fools. (Yes, stickers DO make the car faster. I swear!)

The ultimate is it a ricer or not....
after you burn it.....
you begin to slow down, and you hear what sounds like a john deer mower coming up on you, and a weed wacker passing by....
or
your in a parking lot and you get to watch that dumb @ss bang his 6 inch muffler on every speed bump.... i actually got to see one break off the other day!
hehe
Peace
