how the fvck do you make a car "look fast?"

that makes absolutely no sense. i've never seen a car that "looks" fast in my life. just because people change the appearance of their car doesn't mean it looks faster ... cause one thing is for damn sure, any car w/17" wheels is going to be slower than 14" stock wheels (unless they are light weight 17's), but the 17's will probably look better ...

But it will be faster through the corners;)

Straights are for fast cars, corners are for fast drivers;):)

The other ricers like it, and that's all that matters since they're not catering to your tastes.

Would you really care if someone female from an african tribe starts making fun of the way your dress? No, because you're not dressing to impress someone with her tastes.

All I know is if I see one more goddamn Honda with an SE-R sticker sticker on it, or one more goddamn Nissan with a Type R sticker on it, I'm liable to flip.

Other than that, I like a little bit of tinkering with the body, as long as it's understated and your car has speed to match the looks.

The problem is everyone makes their car try to look fast when it isn't. I'd rather have a fast car that looks slow than vice-versa.

So complain if YOUR car "looks" fast when it isn't then. Why complain about someone else's car? I don't get ready to "flip" when I hear about some of the things people do around here to their PC's. WHY? BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT MY DAMN PC'S!!!

Are you serious? Complaining is one of our God-given rights. Jesus complained, ffs. If He can do it, I don't see any reason that I can't. ;)

The Devil also complained, and we know what happened to him.

What do people who rice out their cars have to do with certain ethnic groups?

They get a kick out of their creative artwork (heh) and we get a laugh at them for doing it. What's so bad about it? In the end it's their car and their money, no amount of your b!tching will ever change that.

Some are done tastefully. Gotta take the bad with the good.

I remember this guy named Bill Brasky riced out his car. I've never seen such a nice car!

To Bill Brasky!
