That is not that ricey to me. Rice to me means Civic, Folgers coffee can exhaust, LED in the washer nozzles, hubcaps etc

While I agree with you guys, I guess I was pointing out the usualy characteristics of rice- like the wing, bad camber, flashy paint, etc..... Maybe I should have used a diff. word. Or maybe we need to think of a new word to classify this. Any suggestions?

Vanilla Rice ( as opposed to dirty rice)

That car is not the worst I have seen, the paint is actually really good (not that you'll ever see any variation of that on my SC) but the shopping cart handle has got to go!

What makes a rice car worse is when the owner is like in his late 30's. We all been through that phase in our late teens when we would add lego peices to the car but we grow out of it and move on. I see some guys who are like 35 still adding chrome tips to their early model camrys.

eeehhhhh i dont know about flashy paint being rice......the camber is, the wing is and the tails are definitely rice. i dont think that car would look so bad in black and no wing...and perhaps with a FAT turbo system

that tower in the background of the first pic might as well be the wing - that thing is huge!
