That certainly isn't a universal truth on this board...what he posted takes a few of the extremist perspectives and blows them out of proportion.
So OG it hurts.

He just wanted to see if a forum comparative to his home board only polar opposite would have the same outlook as that person had said, thus making us riceboys or if we were truly automtive enthusiasts

3) I think it's more important that driving enthusiasts focus more on promoting unity than perputating arguments. If you're hear to accomplish the former, then by all means welcome to HAN.

Seriously. I read tons of shit every day making fun of ricers, with their big aluminum wings and and 5" diameter fart cannons, the home-made bondo body kits, the stickers everywhere...
But driving down the road, I actually see cars like this all the time. And the drivers of them must love it like that, otherwise they wouldn't do that to their car.
So I just wanted to see what ricers say to make fun of domestic drivers. I thought it would be funny.
Kind of like how homosexual individuals refer to straight people as "breeders". When they call someone a breeder they are doing it in a negative way, just as a straight person might call someone a fag. The first time a gay person called me a breeder i thought it was hilarious, and still do. Not gonna get offended by it though.
So i was just gonna see if i could get some ricers to make fun of me, just to see what kind of material they're working with. I wasn't specifically calling any of you guys ricers. Most ricers are imports but most imports aren't ricers, right? I didn't think there was a "www.ricerforums.com" so i just went to the first import forum i found.
here's some stuff to work off of. I have a black 1998 pontiac firebird formula, LS1 5.7 liter 346 cubic foot V8, M6 6 speed transmission, SLP LM catback, airlid, ws6 ram air, a set of C5 rims, leather, all options. picked it up for $8300, is pushing ~300 rear wheel horsepower. I've never drag raced it cause i think drag racing is stupid, but i do autocross it and would love to road race it if i found one near atlanta.
hope that wasn't too much to read ... ?
