Oh Crap! I'm rice!

Well, the stang was an acception hehe. What I was referring more to the stripes a ricer would put all the way across the front, top, and back of the car. Such as what a lot of ricers love to put on their Neons, Taurus's, or 89 Nissan's.

At least I admit that it was retarded when I did that.

As for those being wheels.... they look nearly identical to a set of $20 hubcaps I saw in Wallmart a couple weeks ago. If they are wheels they are still pretty generic looking. I do need to get a new set of glasses though. Seriously.

The car as a whole is still better than the one I have though. My point was that I would still take something that looks cool and interesting over something that is generic anyday. With the acception of certain cars. Such as the new Stang, or a Lotus that should always stay stock. Nothing like a Stang in gunmetal or a Lotus Elise convertable in baby blue.

Black goes with Vetts, somehow, red goes on a Taurus GL Green should go on big trucks, purple is cool on PT Cruisers and even Probes, yellow on the new Chevy truck or even a Porche 911. Heck Ferrari's are probably the only car I cared for other than the 64 1/2 convertable Stang in bright red but I can't name a car off the top of my head that I really cared for in white. Just not my preference. It looks cool on paper and CD covers. It does look ok on Van's but I would still go with dark green in that case.

That's a ton of smilies.

Yea I have.. On street tires its pretty damn tough to get any traction.. I'm not embarassed to say I ran a 12.6. It will definitly run much much better on at least drag radials. It just spins as soon as the boost comes all the way in. We shall see one of these days.

Hehe, I recal you making fun of your stripes a while back too when I was into ricing. Hey I'm rice. I have hubcaps cause I'm not putting anything other than that on my car until I get a better car.

BTW, I'm not saying that 300Z in white is bad. Just not my choice in color. I kinda thought the light blue was unique. I also don't care for the wheels. They look like hubcaps that look very ordinary and are very commonly found on local junkers. :\ The 300Z is at least worth decking out a little bit. It's no exotic but it is still a nice ride.

What about that new orange chevy has on their vehicles now?

Neo · Post by **Neo** » Thu Apr 28, 2005 9:06 am

heh I once worked with this guy who totally souped up his 1994 Grand Am. He put "Type R" on it and all this other crap including a big spoiler. It was funny because he should have upgraded his engine first and then gone from there. But he still has the stock engine and periodically messes up the transmission because of the way he drives it.

So now, I'm anti-rice.

LOL

These are good examples of ricer cars, so what would an anti-rice car look like?

I've done that before.

And you forgot the a in there. ^_~

Anti-ricer?

A serious race car with a boring paintjob.

We got bored one day and decided to do this to his car.

I dont think 'bored' would be the right frame of mind one would have to be in to spraypaint a car with silver paint

3" PVC pipe

even better; about 3 days after we did this, he punctured a hole in his exhaust, so now it sounds like a ricer.

and trust me, it's anything but a perfectly good Audi.

A post a couple years ago.

You were talking about racing stripes on a Ford Taurus you owned

It was when I was dumb enough to put them on my car.

...but the Taurus never had stripes of any kind on it.

Right now the most prominent decorative feature of the car is the rust.

Ugh, am I gonna have to run a search in hopes that my post will still exist.

Edit: yup but I don't see that one. You must have said it in a private conversation. I remember you saying something about having stripes on your old taurus.

Top Wop · Post by **Top Wop** » Fri Apr 29, 2005 3:26 pm

Mayby you mean the Bonneville. ITs got a thin white stripe that runs across the car at halfway of the overall height of the car all around the body. I like it, it gives it a nice, classy "classic car" look, especially when you look at the rear. Its kind of like what they had in the old days.

If I had a digi or got off my lazy butt and waited an hour for film development id take pictures, ive been meaning to do that for the longest time. But I got a severe rust problem that im looking into and I have not waxed the car yet...
