It doesn't matter if your Civic can break the sound barrier. It's still a Civic and Civics are not sexy.
SpaceAce, Agreed civics are not "sexy" as you might put it which is why I don't drive one.....but "rice" in the automotice world generally refers to external modifications that are there just for show without adding any additional improvement to either aerodynamics or power. I am not saying the civic is anything to brag about, but they can be if people spent more of their money on performance instead of looks.

The proble is that 99.9 of those imports are total shitboxes. The utter ridiculousness of the 4 inch pipe on 1 5/8 stock exhaust is enough to make one laugh until you cry. Food for thought. If your not cryin after this web page then your a dead mofo http://www.riceboypage.com/
Originally posted by KevinX iroc, I have never heard of either of those terms used but though I drive a german car I do drive what you might call a "rice rocket" as a motorcycle.
Veterans, I have seen that site in the past, but thanks for the link. If you are really bored check out http://www.ricecop.com I find it to be better.
Cheers
ahh, well, in that case a japanese car in any trim is a "rice grinder" and a bike is a "rice rocket".. around these parts anyways
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
