Rice???

What do you guys think? Is my car "rice looking"? Sorry to bother you all with something so meaningless, but someone over on another board, jealous or not, is calling my car 'rice'...I take pride in keeping my car tasteful. I want to apologize now if anyone here thinks me asking this is 'childish'. I just don't get it...

how is that rice? Your car is nearly stock. Tell them they are freaking idiot and punch them in the throat. :D
 
Riced?

Tell that guy to get a car-dictionary and look up the meaning... rice is cheap; your car & look is not.

Ignore him... he's just jealous & trying to stir you up.
If he still causes problems... call Mr.Wolf. :D
 
Whoever said that - all you gotta do is pointing out all the attributes to your car (mid-engined, hand-built, titanium connecting rods, all aluminum...) and point at their and make a real smart comment.
 
Your car looks great, spectacular in fact.

most people appreciate nice cars, unfortunate there are ususally a few who are jealous and will say things just to make themselves feel better.

BTW great set of wheels, Racing Hart CP-035? do you notice any performance improvement with these ultra light wheels over the OEM wheels?
 
Rice is not the car itself.... ergo, no original car is rice. Rice is what you do to it after the fact. A tasteful set of aftermarket wheels and slight lowering is totally acceptable. Your car looks great. I like NetViper's suggestion, but Neo's might be give you more satisfaction. :)
 
Thanks guys...my car is pulled out more cuz the S2k next to me is parked really weird and i had to avoid hitting his car and vice versa.

The guy who made these comments happens to drive an S4 I believe...a nice car if you ask me, but I guess being a true car enthusiast, I like any car that someone is going to put tasteful time and money into.

As far as the CP-035Rs (the R's came in 18" polished aluminum only) go, I did notice a performance difference. Like I said in another post, my car weighed in 300lbs lighter than stock and I can attribute for about 260lbs...I haven't weighed the rims vs. stock so I assume the extra 40 is made up there? I don't really know, but what i do know is the traction is WAY better off the line AND in turns!!!! I LOVE the rims, but the front right rim rubs a bit with a passenger in sharp turns/hard braking. I think the shock is bad so I'm replacing them with Bilsteins shortly. I love the rims and there's a place that has a deal right now for $2900 for a complete set (no tires though).
 
Brian,

The guy that called your X rice maybe he think your exhaust is too loud . BTW think for taking me down to south beach.

Maybe they meant "NICE" not Rice!!!
You probably heard it wrong!

Nice Car thou and the color is awesome!:D
 
rice is a food get over it. Offhanded statments like 'that is rice' is just word acquistion without understanding the intended original meaning. Guy sounds like a gimp and not worth bothering with.

Your car is standard with some wheels whacked on, its a nice car.

Some people get funny when its not their particular choice of brand name being praised. These are the same people that spend hours trolling/inhabiting forums defending their 'cause'. I like reading the posts though, i show them to my friends as proof monkeys CAN type!

You want a car that offends people see mine next year ;)
 
Brian,

There are idiots everywhere, apparently, ignoring them is the only way to long-life. It definitely helps me to keep my vein's from popping.

On a funny note, if they think your car is rice, then big-o-daddy Bill's MYNSX must be chicken fried rice in their eyes :D j/k
 
There are 10 rice rockets in the picture. Which one is yours?:D
Bottomline is, there will always be ignorant, and jealous people everywhere who want to belittle and insult.

Maybe the dude thinks 'rice' means japanese? Anyway, go with Netviper's suggestion.
 
Which one is yours? Is it the one parked next to the vette?:D
 
Brian--
Your car is far from rice! I love the wheels they make the car look super clean. Keep it looking great! :D
 
Well...owning an S2K myself and probably knowing a few of those guys in the pic, if they were to consider removing the windsheild tape(to expose the paint color underneath) a mod, then they are RICE! :)
