RICE RICE BABY!

["David Lacroque - ColorImage" <ddl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

*I recently read an article in a magazine that is for rice rockets about 
*how this guy in Florida wanted a new M3, but couldn't afford one so he 
*decided to make one. 

You know what I bet 95% of the people on this digest would like a M3, but
because of practicality or finances most are not able and are happy with
what they have. The difference between the average BMW driver and a HONDA
driver is a matter of taste. How many super riced out BMW's do you see?
What about Honda's. Personally I would say that 50% of the Honda's in
Toronto have been riced. The point is I think most BMW owners got their car
for what it is and enjoy it. A typical Honda rice owner buys their car
knowing it is shit and has no plans of keeping it stock. The sole objective
is to make it look as fast and flashy as possible.. If it means an M badge,
Nuespeed sticker, yellow accessories, a huge stereo or a drain pipe muffler
so be it. In the end they are still driving that junky Honda they drove off
the lot. To each his own, I just don't understand the mentality. I have
resorted to pointing and laughing.

- -> After my brother rolled the car my mother was in the market for a new
car. It came down to a Civic and a Tercel. I tried to push a used 318ti but
to no avail. I showed my mom some of the riced Honda's.... She bought the
Toyota.

Yikes sorry for the rant! (4 months of a broke leg and no driving will do
that to you)
