Plasti Dip Tail lights.

Doesn't doing that automatically get them an Enthusiast Club card?

Everyone has a right to fail. Some are just much more accomplished at it than others.

Oh, do I have a site for you to check out. It's called "Crimes Against Automobiles" on Facebook.

most would whisper harsh words seeing these cars out an about, let them. The thing about most car guys is they're non judgmental. if you consider yourself a car guy, go post some positive comments on a BOVAGON video.

All "enthusiasts" should get along!

I like sushi rice or Thai sticky rice.

Race inspired cosmetic enhancements.

Basically anything you put on your car, not for it's actual functionality, but to make it look like a race car.

I really think rice is a state of being. If you have a 300whp KA24DET swapped 91 Honda Civic that's loud, rusty, with blacked out taillights, it's cool, right?

You won't know until the driver gets in. When he does his one wheel peel burnout at every stop light, revs outrageously and activates 2 step at publicly used gas stations, gives people in Prius' the finger as he goes by, you can make an assessment.

If he drives respectfully, shows up at car meets and is humble, treats other drivers with courtesy, the car somehow loses its rice, right?

Just the same as when someone in an alpine white BMW 335XI goes by you with tinted window, you're thinking "man, what a prick" when it's actually grandma with light sensitivity driving.

"Rice" = Any mod that is worthless used.

[Will BRZ]

Pretty much do whatever you want. Just don’t be a douche about it and don’t put anyone’s life in danger.

"Rice" is just a newer term for some car modifications, some of us used to call certain modifications to certain cars by certain people, " ________ up" a car -

I think it’s more if the job was done poorly and it looks cheap. Like a big giant wing for a DD looks absurd on some cars but pretty good on others.

I tend to keep opinions to myself unless asked, then I'll warn whoever is asking.

That's not what I said at all. No one said you weren't allowed to have a negative opinion. I said it myself, I don't exactly agree with vertical doors on a BRZ but there's a difference between disagreeing with someone's tastes and then blatantly disrespecting someone.

What has changed is that now everybody is just supposed to smile and nod at everything whether they like it or not and not hurt some snowflake's feelings. Just because somebody expresses an different opinion doesn't make them a hater even if they hate it. So let's drop this everybody hold hands and sing kumbaya shit and let people express their opinions in any manner they wish.



You have to appreciate the irony of that sort of comment though. The people that like to preach "their money they can do what they want and others can't say anything" don't realize that they are doing the exact same thing as the people expressing their opinion. Both are just different ways of people trying to control the thoughts of others.

I agree with you with the divided car community part. No one said that everyone is supposed to smile and nod at everything. You can disagree with someone without being a total prick about it. As I said earlier, there's a difference between expressing a dislike for something vs blatantly disrespecting someone. It's this attitude that continues to flourish that allows for it continue being divided.

This is the most riced out mod I've ever seen



I'll see myself out...
