there is a lot of rice here but also a lot of muscle too. I think that every other car I see is a mustang, there are a shitload of those things here, kind of like a weird ford plague. I have lived in socal for a little over 2 yrs. and I have noticed that F-bodys are rare here. I barley see them on the steet and I drive a lot. But nothing is worse than seing those stupid riced out civics with the coffe can in the back driving down the street it makes me

yeah, we have tons of mustangs and rice here in central fla. way more than f-bodys. i think alot of fbody fans jumped on the mustang bandwagon when they stopped making them in 02.

There are a lot of ricers, but that just makes everything funner.

As far as F-bodies.. there isn't a shortage fo them, but definitely starting to approach the "rare" category

Around here there is quite a bit of american muscle. Most are stock or really close to it. I'd have to agree w/ above statements about the rarity of f-bodies out here. I do however see at least 15-20 mustangs on a mere 5 min. drive, This is not an exaggeration either. Plague is right.

On the other hand the number of imports seems like it is on a scale of biblical proportions by comparison. Rarley do i see any that are actually done right, most are F&F2 "ghetto style".

I just finally got my car back today after driving maybe 500 miles total in the past year. Already seen tons of f-bods just today, at least a few were v8s. Don't see too many v8 birds, but Camaros here in the Inland Empire are very common. I was working down in San Diego area last year and yea didn't see too many of them, more wealthy area, everybody has beamers and mercedes or better.
I live within 5 miles of UCR and RCC, so there's an endless supply of gay rice out here just like at any college. I'm not an import basher, but 99% of the ones here are just the standard rims, wing/body kit, fart can; at least they've probably run into f-bods before because they never try to mess with me, no matter how slow I go they just hang a couple cars back.

we have quite a few f-bodys in az, yet were still out numbered 3-1 against mustakes! but then again, 98% of the mustakes are slower then a stock f-body!


all the ricers here praise the supras and srt ****, only to have there fastest srt get waxed by a stock t/a vert. and all the supra boys are broken or will only "roll" race and claim to be the fastest street cars, yet have never beaten or race not one of the real az street cars!
