Well degrees and how new your car is really don't matter or show how one is rice or not.

1) Both of ya'll own Accords right? So we should be coming together, not tearing each other apart.
2) JWarren, anywhere other than the dome light also means the light coming from the doors, you know the little one on the edge of the door panel? So you might wanna check that.
3) illusion -- he's new so that could explain things. But I liked the 'nether region' comment! lol

As far as I see it, rice is just something that is extra stupid or senseless, or done to the extreme. Ferrari stickers on your new 2003 Accord qualify as rice, and there was a thread on here a couple of months ago w/ a proud owner showing his pics and video of it. I bet he wish he hadn't now! I hope he took those stickers off though...ya'll remember that one?
