Before you bought this car, did you hesitate and realize you're buying the new Civic? - Page 19 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'm super jelly of your manual IS. We should do a forum meet soon of the guys in the Gville, Jacksonville, Tampa, and Orlando area. And you should get someone to bring your IS and you bring your 86.

EXPLOITING GRATUITOUS WHORE PHOTO OPPORTUNITY NOW

I literally risked life and limb to take this photo right now, as errant lightning strikes rained near me.

Nasty Sausage · 05-28-2014, 09:43 PM

And yes, I realize I deleted the license plate numbers and not the housing unit number, but honey badger don't care.

Just tried posting without signing in...Good job,self..

ANYWAYS.
Marginally older? Damn,I'm 23, not 93.

Ya'll making me feel old.
The only thing I really care about is increasing insurance costs. If the costs go too high, I have to prolong buying a twin that much more.

These posts are silly,though. Thanks for all the entertainment, guys.

I think OP needs to relax a bit, and remove the giant stick up his or her buttocks.

I bought this car because I knew it would be popular and allow me to mod in various ways I've never been able to with other vehicles. So no, it doesn't bother me in the least that people are customizing this car to suit their needs and tastes.

Could you please help me remove the stick? It's past the point of me being able to reach it myself. Thanks.

Husker, you nasty!!

First thing I would do to "RICE" out my BRZ is to replace them stock Altezza lights with some Tom's, o wait, that's de-RICING right?

paulca · 05-29-2014, 04:17 AM

Isn't the term "Rice" referring to cars a bit of American racism anyway?

Does that make sup'ing up American barges "Corn'ing"?

And if you sup up a French car does that make it cheesy or winey?

It depends on who you ask... Originally, I would say yes, because the term was used by Americans, those who were into domestic cars, to describe Japanese motorcycles and cars in a derogatory way. Then again, I'm not sure how "racist" calling an inanimate object something that "burns rice" really is. But it was definitely intended as an insult based on their non-American origin.

Today, lots of people simply use the term to describe vehicles (and even non-vehicles) which are customized in such a way that form is emphasized over function - regardless of the origin.

I can think of a certain flag from the past of the southern states that disagrees

OT J, but why are 250 bike so popular over the pond?

You don't see them as often here since they stopped being legal on a learner license, but you see loads of them in the states. Today most people go straight from 125cc learner bike to 600cc sports bike and usually to hospital and traction.

So this means we get to include stance as "rice" finally?! Hurray!

Where I live, the ricer community consists of mainly old hondas, like pre 2002. Theres millions of Evo's and WRXs but I very rarely see a riced out version. BRZs? I have one of I think three that I've ever seen here.
