I think the rice term originated with the Erebuni-style bodykits. I was
cruising through the website and granted, there are a few nice bodykits on
there, the majority of them were pretty ugly. (BTW, I don't care much for
Rieger either but oh well.) That and as I said in my last post, adding these
gignormous shopping cart spoilers that negate the effect of a spoiler in the
first place.

No. That's not what the term "rice" means. Although the riceboys probably
think our cars are hideous.

Working at an Acura dealer, I can certainly appreciate some of the Japanese
cars out there, personally, if I had cash to spare I sure as hell wouldnt
mind having an Integra Type R... I've had the opportunity to drive a few
(dealer plates!!! Ya-Hoooo!!!!) and I can say, they handle great and they
haul ass!  One can spend oodles of money on one's Scirocco's suspension and
it still probably won't autocross as well as the Type R in my humble
opinion.

But my heart is still with the Scirocco :)
