Don't know. Back on topic, I had my wife look at a picture of a NISMO 350Z and give me her opinion. She couldn't care less about cars, so I figure she's unbiased. She thought the NISMO "screamed cocky 18 year old @sshole". I LOL'd. I'm not sure if that makes it rice or not.

^^^ lol. Maybe that's what it screams, but I think it's very stylish. I am 21 and am no a$$hole my good sir.
Just by reading some of these posts, I can tell we have a lot of youngsters trolling around this forum. But that has been quite apparent judging by the amount of stupid threads and comments being posted.

Hehe, my bro drives a miata. I used to hate them, but since he's had his for a while I have grown fond of them. They handle as if on rails and they can be set up to be pretty quick. Monster miata ftw!

I love my Nismo, but driving a mustang is definitely a fun experience. I had the oppertunity to drive my friends Saleen and it feels powerful. Its got something like 330hp but the grunt and sound it produces make it feel like you're hauling ***.
Its also a different feeling having so much body and mass to the car compared to the 350. It feels like you're barreling down the road even when your doing 40.
By the way my definition of...
RICE = Putting accesories on a car that serve no fuctional purpose, and are so unsubtle that it causes passers by to put their palm to their forhead in dissapointment.
I think putting a small wing on an RSX for example is perfectly acceptable. I even don't mind the large factory wing, because it fits the car well. The real issue is when people try to start mixing and matching kits that have all kinds of funky shapes and designs that just don't go together.
Hell I don't even mind the occasional sicker in a window or as someone has done on their Nismo here of listing the products, as long as the car actually has them, and they're not obtrusive to the eye. But when you just slap stuff on for the hell of it, and start "sticking" on brake vents from PepBoys, then you have turned the corner into a land of rice

Several things.I posted some before in another post but here goes:I wanted more comfort,more room and more engine plus the nismo had some issues such as rusting due to bad welding.The story on that is i was at a car show and a friend of mine that had his 07 z there,called me over to show me how his car was rusting on the body(inside driver side opposite door on body).The weld was not completed and formed a lip that collects water(you have to open the door to see it,not something you see right off).So i checked mine out and it was doing the same thing on the passenger side except not as bad(his was almost all the way through.I have mention this before in another post and some other person said it was happening to them.Got it fixed under warranty.They put in a clutch,slave cylinder,throwout bearing and pressure plate,because of a clunk noise.....wasn't needed it was the brakes.Window on driver's side screeching going up and down..Take it apart and lube it..warranty.Paint over hatchback welds cracking.We all know of the premature,uneven tire wear,(camber).A few more but thats enough.I had 56xx miles when i traded it and owned it for 15 months.It did win three first place trophys at car shows.The mustang hasn't even had any teething bugs either has dad's 09 taurus and he had a 06 maxima with issues with only 8K miles on it.
