I wonder what radio stations he can pick up with that rear wing/antenna...

As for tail pipes, I wonder how many of them are actually connected!

rice you ask,hmmmm...maybe short grain,maybe not...but certainly unnecessary. how-ever the exception to this rule is if,and only if,it is connected to a camera pointed rearwards to watch all GT's and V8's loose ground to you at morgan park. :

Quad pipes, equates to about an extra 30 kg. Bi plane rear wing... extra 15 kg. I bet it's got a bonnet scoop off a rex... more kilos, and there would have to be neons under there somewhere. = 0 -100 kmh one full car length behind a stocker, 400m by xmas 06.

Default Enthusiasts are people just like you and me

Enthusiasts are people just like you and me, and maybe before you start casting aspersions about someones pride and joy you should consider that they have spent considerable amounts of time, effort and money getting them that way.

We are all individuals and should respect the car people of this world. Someone with average driving talents might be a whole lot safer for themselves and us in a Laser with body mods, shiny wheels and a fake exhaust than a expertly modified xr8 etc. :

Rice might be nice if you are into that sort of thing, sure beats us all having white Futura wagons.

I know how offended I was when someone posted some most unkind things about my ute and cars.

If you wanted to play devils advocate, you could even suggest that a totally RICE car is more socially acceptable that a heavily modified powered car.
Rice being by definition having no Physcial function. Then other than visual polution they are not using up greater amounts of fosil fuels, Hydrocarbons for tyres being fried, and no doubt meeting or in some cases having substancially less environmental impact of some of the cars in our own club.

Each to their own, lets not be to prejudicial let someone look in our own glass windows. py:
