Is 'Rice Rocket" a derogatory term?

<< 2 stroke motorcycles with a 1/4 of there engine size at a 10th of the cost >>


We refer to these as &quot;Pocket Rockets&quot;.

It means I can't fscking type fast without making spelling errors . . .

Probably the same feeling some people with v-6 camaro's and mustangs feel when they see that 4 cylinder Hondas can actually run with them but still get 25-30mpg, doesn't break down every 10,000 miles and actually last way beyond the warranty period.

hmmmm

times have certainly changed

back in the early '80s I raced a Datsun in SCCA.

everyone referred to my car as a rice rocket, and there were no mods done,
it was just a term, referring to it's Japanese manufacturer, nothing derogatory intended


then again, I remember the term &quot;gay&quot; having different, innocent connotations, too
