It was an SRT-4 Neon. I'm not a personal fan of them but they can be quite fast.

I see nothing wrong with lambo doors. I can see the fart can exhaust tips, fender vents, huge wing, and 20" chrome tires are a nono..but than again..it's all up to the owner. Like most people, I bought the car for myself to drive and enjoy so therefore I don't give a crap what anyone thinks. If I ask for your opinion than it counts, but if not..... don't talk crap on other import owners! That's just wrong. And yea..I'm aparantly a "RICER" cause I'm getting my car painted 2-toned. Boo-hoo. Someone pass the tissues

I just want to say unless this is a horrible dealer epidemic, this car is currently sitting @ Cherry Hill Nissan in NJ. As of three weeks ago, it still hasn't sold. They are charging something like $500 for the "racing stripes."

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They should be beaten for defiling a helpless Z.

Big wing and raspy exhaust is the easiest way to turn the 370 into a ricer. Also, graphics and stickers (I'm talking obnoxious here)...typical stuff really.

Anything that detracts from the car and its design. A display of general aesthetic ignorance.

Body kits that ignore all the lines and design motifs of the car. Sometimes unpainted, or painted different colours.

Fake body kit vents and stick on port holes. I recently saw a Z3 whose owner had stuck buick port holes above the vents. Unbelievable.

Paint jobs or wraps that work against or obscure the shapes and lines of the car.

TRD stickers.

Carbon fiber glued over original parts.

Stickers to denote what upgrades you have. Who gives a s*it about what kind of brake pedals you've installed?

Misappropriated badges and emblems, often meant for other cars. Type R Toyotas. Porsche Turbo badges on a BMW.

Farty 4" exhaust tips on cars pushing out less than 130hp.

Rubberised steering wheel covers in random colours.

Blue LEDs on windshield washer jets.

Ornately shaped license plate frames - chains, blades, barbed wire.

Bits of random chrome trim accent.

General busyness and hodge podginess.

Platinum motor sports.

It's all subjective though, isn't it.

The cars in the vid did look very over the top and i laughed at first but as the videos went on, i felt like the two guys making fun of these people sound sad and desperate. Sounded like chronic masturbaters.

At the end i was like whoa those two commenting are fags and the guy with the retarded car, more power to him, hes doing what he wants an what makes him happy.

Of course you cand do whatever you like to your car, but when you start lying about it repeatedly then you should be embarassed and made fun of.

We have all said stupid stupid things at one time or another, or more similar example is that you guys have worn clothes that others would consider extremely old/gay/tacky/try hard/gangster/emo etc.

Imagine if these two guys see you walking down the street in your clothes of choice (that you think are the best, make you look oh so good) pointed a camera right in your face, asked you questions about your clothes making fun of you, then posted up here for all to see...yeah would be gay as hell huh

If I were lying to inflate my own ego or self-worth then yes, I absolutely, 100% deserve to be made fun of all across the internet.

If you really think about it their lying is what makes it so hilarious. If the guy had simply said, "of course it's not supercharged, I just did that to get some laughs," do you really think anybody would have cared? No. If you act like a douchebag you should be prepared to be called out.

g96818 · 01-24-2010, 06:34 AM

my def of "rice"

the only exceptions to all this is a pure track car or pure show car

Exterior:
-wide body
-euro/jdm lights of any kind
-huge ginormous wing
-body kits that just don't flow like those crappy ones at the 2010 auto show
-carbon fiber everything. hood and hatch are not rice if it's painted to match the color of the car, any other fiber is rice
-chrome, any chrome
-camouflage paint
-excess decals/emblems or incorrect emblems, ie GT-R on a mustang or TRD/VTEC on Nissan, Skyline on g35, etc...
-shaved door handles
-5% tint all around
-deep dish wheels
-exhaust tip sticking out way too much
-slammed suspension
-unpainted body kits or body kits that don't color match
-exhaust farts
-intakes sticking out of hood
-aftermarket sunroof
-turbo bulge on hood or hole cut in hood to facilitate turbo or piping
-neons
-aftermarket hids without correct projectors
-any hid color above 6000k
-car painted with designs on it, ie. hello kitty, pokemon, flames, etc...
-lambo door, cuz lets face it, even lambo don't have them
vented fenders
-non-functional hood pins. hood pins that actually lock are fine especially on cf hoods, don't what that sh!t flying off
-landing patch or iron-man headlights, i think blacked out is ok, but leave the amber reflector alone.
-angled license plate bracket or license plate mounted off center

Interior:
-CF everything
-roll cage on daily driver
-bucket seats
-missing passenger seat
-expensive sound system, double din screen, monitors galore, xbox/ps3/wii in trunk with flip out screen
-aluminum diamond plate floor mats
-removable steering wheel, that's just dumb to get rid of the airbag
-interior painted with designs on it, ie. hello kitty, pokemon, flames, etc...
-non functional gauges/switches
-replacement pedals that serves no additional purpose than look nice

i know i'm forgetting a few things, but i'm tired so i'm going to bed.

Someone needs to bitch slap that guy in the "supercharged" z and take that car away from him. What an embarrassment to the z community. How anyone could think what he has done to that car looks good is beyond me.

eddieconfetti · 01-24-2010, 12:58 PM

Everybody got their own opinion on rice. But i do remember rice being off the chain during fast and the furious times. I wonder what happened. Why is everyone hating on it now. It seems like having a sleeper is the thing now.

4r3s · 01-24-2010, 02:23 PM

yeah I guess what it comes down to is "to each their own" right? Its your car do what you want to it if thats what makes you happy. Personally I've always been a fan of the stock look with a few minor mods here and there as long as it looks clean.

3rd video has to be fake. No one is really that stupid and can BS like that on the fly.
