and "task" is not always a verb

and "champion" is not always adjective.

**** i hate modern "engrish"

Are you saying furious in any context other than emotion is a modern invention? It's been around hundreds of years when meaning an energetic action.

Give me a basic Dodge viper and I can destroy anyone out there.

Hell, who needs that?

Whats that little "stock" Neon that Dodge puts out that eats just about anything on the road.

The SRT4 ? The sticker on that puppy is about $25K .... If you can find an insurance company willing to insure one, and if you can afford the premium.

I called my insurance company just for sheite and giggles, and they said the premimum would be more than the car payment. LOL!

The really funny thing about rice burners, is that if they took the money they have invested in their after market crap, and put it into a real car. They could actually have a nice agressive little ride.

What would be the fun in that? Why not start with a fast Jap car to begin with and make it even faster? The people who look disapprovingly often suffer from jealousy regarding the modding of Jap cars - that they would spend the money in another way is completely irrelevant.

Jealously Dowding? LOL! I hope your not refering to me.

I own a classic 1969 Corvette convertible with a 427ci/400hp engine, that not only looks fast, it IS fast . Rice burners don't even rate recognition from me, except as an object of comedic value.

And sure if you have the cash to start out with a fast japanese car, and then you have the loads of cash to make it faster, sure. Go for it. I'm all for it. There are some really nice RX-7's out there, and some of the Evo's and such are nice. But they're pretty rare. And I personally like the look of the new Mazada RX-8, even though I wouldn't buy one.

But my point is that if these guys would take the money they put into Accords and Civics, and add on the $8k+ they spend putting crap onto it. They could have actually gotten a much faster car in the first place, and would probably look better. But they're idiots and prefer plastic ground effects and body decals to a real car.

Hell, even in Too Fast Too Furious 2, they admitted that the ultra fast ricer image is hype when they came up against cars with real power.

Dowding, Verm was referring to the guys that spend all the money on non-performance-enhancing equipment. That's the ricer M.O. They get a $15k car and install $15k worth of body kits, neon lights, stereo system, shiny rims, etc. They could have spent the $15k on performance modifications or they could have spent the whole $30k on a car that was fast to start with, but they prefer teh r1c3. Of course there are a small percentage of guys who have a car that looks ricey but actually has a ridiculous amount of power, but those are the exception.

Yeah, but do the chicks care? These guys also spend more on a shirt or a pair of pants to go clubbin' in than I spend (and spent in my youth) on an entire wardrobe for the year. Fashion/Style -- for wussies. Looks vs performance, hell, no choice there.

But... A noisy garish "hot" looking car turns heads, allowing the driver to be seen (getting the chick) and then allowing the chick to be seen sitting next to the driver (making her happy). Actually, my scorn is being replaced by admiration
