ok...i drive an american car and in my mind its the only thing worth it....i pay for all my shit by myself and work my ass off to keep my car up. I have nothing but respect for imports that have real drivers, my question is.....a guy who barely sits high enough over his stearing wheel to see, wearing a sideways hat and sunglasses ....at night,...in a celica with a fourty foot wing a 5 inch pipe and a body kit can hate me causei drive a domestic...please explain this to me.


insults welcome

i see your point, but you shouldn't associate that with import drivers, it happens to any car. most of the people here are tall enough to look above the steering wheel, dont wear sideways hats and dont wear sunglasses at night, and most people work hard for their money, dont have ugly body kits and most importantly everyone pretty much respects domestics, some drive domestics too. i am just saying, i hope you werent refering to anyone here...

hey don't make fun of people who can't see over steering wheels.

but anywayz, people like that both drive domestics and imports. There are stupid people in every single group. Some guy flipped me off in his riced out cavalier cuz i have a del slow that beat him. Don't let them get to you, dumn people are everywhere, its just up to you to be smarter than them.

From my point of view, it seems that most import drivers only hate typical domestic drivers because they are the ones that started all of the trash talking.

There are many domestic drivers that have the inbred hick attitude and get all insecure when they see an import. Some will yell "RICE!" at every stock import, some will want to drag race to show everyone who's car is "better", and others will attempt to actually destroy the import one way or anyother. When I say "duhmestic owners", these are the kinds of people I'm talking about... they're cocky, extremely ignorant, completely insecure, and have no maturity whatsoever. And they just don't get it when you try to be mature about it.

There are many domestic owners that are very cool and I'm happy to associate with, but unfortunately there seem to be more of the duhmestic types than the cool ones. And of course, there are plenty of dipshit import drivers too, and I don't want anything to do with them either.

The whole imports vs domestic thing is really retarded. It's no different that geeks fighting about Macintosh vs Windows, or Star Wars vs Star Trek. It's apples and oranges. You could make greatest points imaginable, but it won't change a damn thing.

I'll buy what I want and be happy. Anyone who has a problem with that is just an insecure child and clearly is not worth my time.

But what can be very satisfying is beating trash talking dumbasses in drag races when that's not even what my car is meant for. Beating them at their own game makes them look pretty dumb. They'll always make excuses and completely lie about it later, but that's why you do it in front of all of their friends... so they know first hand that the guy is a dipshit.

Fast and Furious fags give alot of imports bad names. Its all about working toward something you like, not trying to impress others (even though I don't know how they think a 2 foot wing will impress anyone). If you spend your hard earned cash and work your ass off to create something you love, I respect you. Hell, I can even respect those damn show car people (even though I wont admit it often), if it's them who are building the cars and not their wallet.

But when do they ever grow up? I've known people like that for many years and if anything, they've gotten more ignorant and more hateful.

For the same reason that a fat balding guy with a beer gut, cowboy hat and belt buckle the size of Montana driving around in an old muscle car with mis-matched body panels can hate on a nice import. They're morons.

Yep, there are those fast n furious, who livin' off mommy n daddy, to get us imports in trouble. I don't like domestics, but I got my respect for them. I stick to my own league.

It's those who are ignorant, cocky.
I've been hit up a lot of times, and I know my stock Si isn't no match to turbocharged Mitsub's, old school ford mustangs, etc.

I mind my own business. i had a mitsubishi hit me up last Friday. Minding my business, he just look at me, I didn't wanna go, then just when the light hit green, he got off and got the deceny to FLIP MY HAPPY ASS OFF.

I got up to him, told him to roll his window down, and pull over and we can handle it. I don't take shit from no one. Fucker was scared, slowed down, when i was side by side him.

If we wanna race, we take at the track, too many po-po's, too many litigations, and them FUCKERS that scope to jack u!

...umm...well i had a 86 accord' but i got rid of it and bought a 00 trans am. I do all the work myself cause i have access to a lift and get alot of parts for cheap. I want a twin turbo next but money is an issue. Its a dealer promotion car, so the guy that had it before me changed the tranny 3x the, throttle body, The differential, alternator, and something else, just to see what ran best so he could report it to pontiac. Needless to say its not stock anymore. When it came from pontiac it automatically had 345hp and it was written on the rear right bumper. Thats ten more then any normal ws6 with ram air. I took that graphic off cause i changed the car, plus i dont like people knowing what there racing, now the only other graphic is "TRANS AM sevan series" on the driver side door at the bottom. all my mods are mentioned, I do them all myself. I havent gotten a dyno yet but i will soon.

I would never buy a v4 car, no offense, I just like the 6, SC 6, and 8

The Fast and The Furious gave imports a bad rep and the people working at hondas huge paychecks

I think American cars are better, for ME, but you can argue all day about this topic. I like bigger cars, bigger engines, better looking cars (in my opinion). I will probably never buy an import, because I like American cars

a lot of my friends who drive imports dont know shit, they seriously think cold air intake will give there car 30 more horses, if someone who knows about there car, knows how to work on it, I respect them

Good for you riceburner, just make sure your daughter doesnt get an EVO, or an STI, or an SRT-4, because then you might get mad at how truely quick some 4 bangers are these days strait from the factory. All of those are 13 sec 4 bangers. Its one thing to like a certain type of car its another to trash well rounded fast cars just because thier engine doesnt have huge displacement. Thats just pathetic. How hard can it be to like good cars of any size or brand?

eh, i'm with ya bro. From what i've seen, the actual racers dont really care what ya drive. Its the insecure idiots in civics with fartpipes and park benches on the ass end that think they are the be all end all vin diesel wannbe jackasses that seem to think we're inferior, regardless of the fact that they run solid 19's at sea level with a tailwind.

IMO screw em. If they gotta try to show ya up or whatever they call revvin next to ya...let em make asses of themselves when they manage to pegleg it for 10 feet and break somethin. As far as i'm concerned rice doesn't nescessarily have to be imported. Hell i've seen a few riced vipers, and i love vipers. Rice is worthless, meaningless crap(wings bought fron united in a desperate attempt to keep them outta bankruptcy, DC sports stickers on a neon, Mopar stickers on an eclipse crap like that).

I have absolute respect for anyone who builds up any car and has a genuine intrest in tuning. Tuning in my mind being mods with a purpose, be it show or go or both, and bein cool with ppl who drive similar cars if not hte same. The manufacturer wars are idiotic IMO. Regardless of what we drive, civics, neons, cavvys, celicas etc, we all get looked at as ricers by the "real car drivers", even after they get their asses handed to em by somethin with 1/3 the motor, they still think we're worthless. Screw em.

I respect domestics a lot. But at the same time I don't have respect for them. Same with imports. It just all depends on who's driving the car and what the car actually has. If it's some kid with a stock mustang rolling around thinkin it can kill all hondas just because it's "domestic," then there's going to be a problem. Or some kid in a little honda thinkin it's a v8 killer just because he has an exhaust TIP, intake, and lots of stickers, then there's going to be a problem there too. A win is a win, a fast car is a fast car.

But anything thinking it can kill anything just because it has:

-a spoiler that weighs twice as much as the car
-Some wierd body kit (Of course some look cool)
-Exhaust tip and not a whole catback
-Lots of stickers for products they don't have
-Neon lights everywhere
-Intake that adds 40234203520342 HP (sarcasm)
-or a cool shift knob with matching pedals
-----To me...that's just rice. And like previously stated, even nice domestics are rice.

But if it's fast...then hell, it's a fast car.

hey if it makes them feel better about themselves even better for them. shit i see show car guys and they are those never get laid types, so if their cars help them get some, its good for them. i dont really like the fact that people take hondas and try to pimp them out, nah dude, sorry, go get a bimmer and you dont do anything, dont get me wrong i have a typical rice car, civic hatch. and show goers see me as a fucking scrub cause i have nothing but free flow after the exhaust manifold/header for you show boaters. my car looks like bone stock other than the obnoxious farts coming out, but hey it works for me and makes up for my small korean c*ck. so whatever floats your boat

now, for the domestics, hmmmm.....typical misinformation.....ricers dont hate domestics, atleast not here in columbus, its all in your point of vieew, cause ricers also hate ricers and likewise with domestic drivers. and fixing up cars with huge wings isnt an import thing, you guys ever watch rally races, touring car championships? all huge wings for straightening out the car during a turn to whip the tail out a little easier, domestic nascars have a small piece of sheetmetal installed my a lincoln electric welder, cause all the need it for is downforce in a moderstely straigt course, an oval, but ythey arent making huge wide turns for a wing to really have effect. shit i done want to make this so long but i got to, hehe. for wings, 99% on the market are exactly as they state, wings, not spoiler, just wings, they produce downforce but ineffieciently. its just a bunch of kids wanting to mimic what they see on tv. domestic drivers in my experience are far more knowlegeaable when it comes to performance, cause that is what they really care about, they like looks, but american cars are brute force push rod monsters. i respect them, but get quite envious becasue there is no replacement for displacement. so all this domestic hating import is all in the point of view of each person, ...ricers hate ricers too, and domestics hate domestics too. so long

good post 25vtec. I'll race another domestic, even if I know I will lose, just because it will be fun and the other driver will have a kill story. I'll also race an import, cause they are fun to race and have a totally different sound when they are whining up to 8000rpm and sometimes, ya, they are fast, and sometimes no. That's fine, but when they start swerving lanes, almost causing wrecks, and just being stupid, I hate them. Those are ricers, domestic and import. They can't afford to drop 4 grand in the engine so they buy stickers and wings and swerve in and out of traffic at 100mph trying to show off that they can drive and everyone better watch out.

LeonZ: I was just using an Accord as an example...not all Accord owners are ricers, I used to have a 97 accord till a big ass dodge ran me over, I'm talking about the 16yr old i got bigger Type R stickers than you so now you lose driver.

i dont know about you all, but the oem pedals are great, but for the shifters a skunk 2 throw/short shifter is alot better, but the shift knob, usually the oem's are much heavier so they are easier to throw in my opinion. only reason i like the factory pedals is cause i race barefoot, the track dont like that but hey you got to feel the car yeah, lol. anyway if driving barefoot or in flip flops is rice, then its all me

infil.....typed/stated this

Hell i've seen a few riced vipers, and i love vipers. Rice is worthless, meaningless crap(wings bought fron united in a desperate attempt to keep them outta bankruptcy, DC sports stickers on a neon, Mopar stickers on an eclipse crap like that).

whats the definition of rice...if a guy wants to run some stickers on his car(god forbid they dont stay on too long) all the better for him......what made the vipers in your opinion "ricey" was it the fact the had some 20" wheel/rim company youve never heard of, a huge wing, or was it the fact that you just may have been jealous..no..envious of what he had?

you know that dc sports makes universal exhausts right, and for that matter all exhausts are universal, im talking just about the exhaust, not the cat-back or axle-back. and mopar, like edelbrock are creating products for a wider market these days, look at the srt4, using a mitsubishi turbo and a cavalcade of mitsu technology...american companies see where billions of dollars are being spent.....moroso stickers on a civic isnt gay, edelbrock stickers on an accord isnt gay, neither is a honda optional equipment on a neon....cause there are people out htere that do radical some radical things, such as a 4G63 powered crx...so try to keep an open mind
