Ahhhhh yes, but did you read my post above yours?

The same can be said of a German car or its owner...
The term is "Kraut or Krauter"



See my post above or go to the START HERE! post in the new member forum.

 

Yes in fact an audi can be classifies as rice in my book. if i see an audi with a 250 dollar "aggresive" body kit with a spoiler that is taller than his roof, a huge muffler tip (not an exhaust system, just a welded on muffler) thats bigger than a freakin cd, and has altezza lights (aaarhhh i HATE altezzas) i would have to say that he is "rice" even if his car is an audi. hell you could have a jeep thats ricey

 

But then it's called "Kraut" or a "Krauter", David_K. See above.

 

kraut or krauter doesnt seem as insulting as a ricer...simply because there so many damn honda civics out there that are so shitty looking.....i raced a honda the other day... it sounded like a damn lawn mower when he put the pedal to the medal (which by the way is like pushing my audi) haha. Honda's are like a pair of shoes, ppl get a craze over them, but then they get worn out.

that damn movie "the fast and the furious" i believe opened up honda civics to a much broader more retarded audience who dont know 2 ***** about cars.

 

I don't know if I'm trying to insult the "ricers". Rather, it's a category that distinguishes good taste from bad taste. Therefore, rice befits a Japanese car that it outfitted in bad taste and Kraut befits a German car that is outfitted in bad taste.

 

Why didn't you just say it came from "rice rocket?" Why'd you have to get all intelligent on us?

 

What you are saying makes perfect sense, but while that may be technically true, I just can't bring myself to see it that way mainly because "rice" is such a widely used word. I, as well as others, often use it to describe cars that aren't even japanese, and most of the time it carries a negative conotation.

Let me put it this way: literally speaking, sh** is actually feces or a word used to describe a state of discomfort as an exclamation. But when I say "That car is a piece of sh**" I'm not actually speaking as to the physical makeup of the vehicle, I'm saying that it's a poorly made car. The point is, although we may not want them to be, some words are accepted as wholely negative or positive just by the way we use them in day-to-day conversation. And whether or not we know the true definition behind them, we will continue to use them as we know how to.

Hope that does the subject some justice.

 

I dont think acura has alot of rice excluding some integras, because i cant classify a rsx as "rice"... just what i think... and even the 3000gt(some).
