And this makes putting wheel spacers on them less ricerish, how exactly?

I don't see how eliminating some wheel gap without some exaggerated protrusion is considered rice.

I think guys over-stressing other guys ride mods need to get laid, period.

I think guys that write super long lists about whats rice need girlfriends.

What happens when all a guys mods are perfect but he's a fvckin dork and a idiot? lol that should be another thread.

Tell that to my friend who e-mailed me that list. He was trying to stick it to me for buying the Z, instead of the Viper I was looking at. That the owner raised the price on me by $15,000 at the last minute.

Think you need some time alone for some self-inflected sex.
