so what is rice?
My response:
Trying to make your car look faster than it really is ... more time and effort being devoted to fart cans, graphics, wheels/tires, big spoilers, chrome, etc etc... for the sole purpose of making your car look like it can move than spent actually adding go fast goodies to it (This includes adding a nitrous kit if you never intend to use it)
As for the origin of the term "Rice" ... I do believe it originated because of Motorcycles and not cars? "Rice Rockets", prolly by Indian/Harley Davidson owners) ... originally meant as a derrogatory term commenting on the people that made the bikes... we've now accepted it as a derrogatory term about the car and it's lost it's linkage to those that actually make the cars
