No insult was intended by calling DSMs "rice". I'm an old-school guy and Asian cars have always been "rice burners" and Asian bikes "crotch rockets". Hell, my wife drives a Corolla to work every day. Wonderful dependability and mileage. 'Ol smokey snapped...

i understand but please just be careful with the R word, some take it as a serious insult. I dont want to be put into that stereotype of being a "ricer", i dont do flybys, talk ****, rev my motor conyinuously, or think my car is faster than what it actually is. As a matter of fact i have a ricekiller.com sticker on my back windshield and my exhaust is very quiet. Also DSMs are very undependable if they are not taken care of, for a fast dependable car, f-body is the ONLY way to go.

Your car is rice by the very definition. And now, since you've accused me of insulting your car anyway;...... It's also fuggin monkey-*** ugly.

RICE is what you call it, so everybody back off the import hatin banwagon.
As for people who take offense to the word rice, this is how much I give a ****

I ran at MIR this weekend for the Pinks! all-out episode. There were a few imports (can't say the "R" word
) there. 2 RX7s...1 broke and 1 ran a high 10 which was impressive. 2 WRX cars...1 ran a 14 something and the other broke. 2 DSMs that I saw...both broke on the line. I kept waiting for bad-*** import...the RX7 was the baddest and only 2 made it down the track that I saw. 400 cars ran...My opinion of fast foreign street cars remains unchanged.

I see plenty of American muscle running 13's, 12's even 11's over and over but you'll see some ricer run that a few times and the ones that do often are in the parking lot a few runs latter trying to piece their ride back together.

In the Subaru crowd, there is a huge influx of moronic owners recently with 02-03 WRX's mainly due to the fact that they can get one for 13k instead of the 24k a couple years ago. Most moronic car enthusiasts cannot afford a $24k car or the insurance. 03-04 Terminators will be hit by the same problem as soon as a plethora of 18 year old kids start being able to afford them.

Not everyone is the same... my ex-girlfriend's little brother (we're still cool) just got a Competiton Orange '04 Cobra for a graduation/18th b-day present. He's a real carguy, and not "ricey" at all, so I'm not really worried about him. But I am gonna drive his car

You're honestly trying to say that the same people who buy 98-02 F-Bodies are the same people who bought Civics, DSM's, and Celicas and riced them out??
Yet these are the same people who don't like ricers, which brings us back to your original complaint of people not being "open minded" and "ignorant". So how does that work out at all?? It doesn't. Ricers don't like America muscle, and guys who like Muscle cars don't buy ricers. Some people make mistakes and realize that rice sucks and change their attitude, others, like yourself, decide that a riceburner suites them better.
