Well, I think everyone has a little bit different definition of what
rice is. My definition is anything on your car that is fake.
( ie- civic's that put a 'VTEC' sticker on there car, when they really don't ) Or simply saying your car is fast, when it really isn't.
( ie- putting a huge spoiler on your car, and saying it adds 50hp )
This definition changes form car to car, but you get the idea.
Usually people that talk crap about other cars fall into 2 catagories. 1- they have a 90hp peice of crap, and they just make there car 'look cool' for intimidation. 2- they really do have a fast car, and they want everyone to know. I would say 98% of people that talk crap fall into catagory 1. Usually to shut them up all you have to do is put some money down, and name a place and time. Then they usually will brush you off. The only people you have to watch out for is the other 2%. Like the Geo Storm I saw on this board that ran mid 10's in the quater mile. Hope this helps, anyone have a different view on the subject matter?
