Evo's sound like dump trucks and that's not a compliment.
 
Perhaps LOUISSSSS can explain why I always get morons that drive base civics and hyundais with an exhaust and an intake try to race me all the time? I dont even do anything, they just come up to me and start revving.

Hate to break it to you but you drive a ricer car as well.
 
Totally awesome! :thumbsup:

The only way to make that video better is if the guy doing donuts was in an SUV and the cop was driving a Lotus Elise. 😛😉

I was just gonna say the same thing about GTI drivers, it comes with the territory. For every Golf/Civic/WRX etc owner who isn't a douche, there are 10 others that are keeping up the asshole rep for the rest of us.

So by this logic everyone that drives a WRX, GTI, GLI, etc is automatically a ricer?

My car is completely stock, got it because I wanted a quick hatchback that got got decent gas mileage and was made in Germany

I've never said mine wasn't. I practically never bring up my car in discussions here.

And if you drive a "sport compact" car, you're suspect to it getting called rice. That's just how it is. We all learn to deal with it.

Let me guess: cop ownage.

EDIT: Yep. Nothing kills a street racing buzz like a cop seeing you do it.

Basically to ATOT yes. There are hardly any real car dudes here. More about buying shit they will never use and claiming events that never occured.

Nope! I'm faster, with only 2 cylinders, with a stock exhaust which doesn't sound like crap.😛

exactly, this is a COMPUTER forum, not car forum. most people here will claim the first thing as rice just by association with: 4 cylinder with sporty body, any type of exhaust system even if they are great performers that not only help with HP but also help with fuel efficiency; most anything associated with japan.

visit a real car forum like nasioc.com or hondaaccordforum.com (just 2 examples) and you'll get some real help with "the garage"

go there and ask for computer help on overclocking and i bet you'd get shitted on, just like anyone here asking about aftermarket exhausts, intakes, coilovers, projectors, HIDs.

in AT's garage, theres seems to be much skewness towards domestics. Only here do we see more Focus/cobalt recommendations than a Civic when it is clear that the civic completely DOMINATES time and time again the compact car market. The same goes with the Malibu/Fusion (okay its a bit smaller big deal) when the Accord and Camry are clearly the winner for the past 8-10 years.

Above are just two examples of AT's domestic bias imo

Actually it's simpler than that...on ATOT most are needing a car their mom and dad will be driving too.

that may be part of it, but why do they complain about "boring-ness"? i'm 95% sure that their parents want something reliable and will last them as long as possible, if not, then something that will hold its value over time.

NASOIC is chock full of elitist assholes like every car forum, AT while not a car forum specifically isn't any different. You'll see the same flame wars there that you see here, but they keep it "in the family" so to speak.

Talk about retrofitting HID's in there and you'll be flamed into oblivion just like anywhere else.

Only thing that would be better is if you'd quit bitching about SUVs and get over your obsession about the damn Elise. Buy one already if you love them so much.

not really... i've seen lots of people help each other there (as long as in hondaaccordforum.com) when someone needs help retrofitting projectors and installing a new HID kit.

The Civic gets nods in resale value and maybe a slight edge in interior quality but that's about it. in terms of pure performance/buck no Civic in ANY trim comes close to the Cobolt SS, that's the fact. I don't begrudge Japanese manufacturers though, the quality of their cars set the standard and forced GM, Ford to finally come to the table with decent offerings..

This is true, I've been accused of driving "crappy rice" by more than two different persons on these forums.
