Rice?!
 

On this forum, I read very often the term rice when talking about tuned S2000s...

Sorry for the stupid question... BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN???

Here in Italy we eat rice :) !

I hope your just being sarcastic, but just in case your not. Rice is not a tuned car, it is a car with things that have no real perfomance value and are almost always ugly. Five foot wings on a front wheel drive, an ehaust tha can be heard 2 miles away at idle, and basicly any thing that changes a cars looks someone some where will not like and most likely call rice. Some people say if it is not jdm it is rice. I hope this helps.

It's meant as an insult I believe, but it mainly refers to the useless modding of one's car just to stand out. Please reference the photos found here:

I have to agree with kyo. Spoiler that are 10 time the size of the car, exhaust that sound like a bike or more like a mopead and body kits that were not meant for the car but were slapped on any ways. It's an insult Rice = bad, race = good:LOL:

It is quite simply a derogatory term, or slang, used as described above: to criticize various aftermarket modifications done to import (non-US made) cars. It derives from the fact that most, if not all, of the Asian countries use rice as a main part of their diet.

Dixon, you are mistaken! When I see you drive by, I say, "hey, that looks like Dixon".

It means that the white Americans just like to make up terms to racially offend other ethnicities. :LOL: It's been like that since the start of their existence. :D I hope I'm not offending anyone, but then again, I'm not making up terms to do so. ;)
