Warm Weather Brings Out The Rice?

[Iron Chef]

Seriously, it's getting scary. The only reason I remember these vehicles is that their hideousness is etched on my brain. In the last two days...

1) Circa 1989 automatic Galant, fake WRX bonnet scoop, otherwise stock.

2) Early 1990s Bluebird, automatic, drainpipe exhaust, awful bodykit, stock rims and ride height.

3) Toyota Soarer, silver, with more wings than KFC, some kind of bonnet scoop, and aftermarket 15" wheels. Thankfully I didn't get close enough to it to experience the full horror.

4) Hyundai Coupe with graphics, chrome Tempe Tyres specials, and shopping trolley rear wing. Didn't hear whether it was auto or manual, so I'll presume auto.

5) Mitsubishi Mirage, with a full Cyber bodykit (remember them anyone?) and twin exhausts, automatic naturally.

Do the owners seriously keep these cars in the shed over winter??? Or is this normal and I haven't been getting out enough??

its cause chrome doesnt shine much in winter Chef

lol did the mirage have home job decals down the side and said matty boy? saw some g unit wigger try hards driving that down the bay. busted out laughing when i saw that. and theres also some gay yellow celica down pt adelaide way near my work i see all the time. twin symetrical cannons when its a straight 4 and get this.. a gtr wing. but with the middle bit cut out. so whatever down force it was acheiving is now gone.

Dont forget holden commodores with sick chrome wheels, chrome tail lights, dark tinted windows, dumped as, loud exhaust and some doof doof... dont see too many of them around - cough

[IZZMO 33]

the abundance of horrible CRX's getting around lately is shocking.... oh and some of the terrible number plates people have... one in particular, that orange wrx with CUNQRT.... more like see you at fulham maccas.... These people fail at life

[steveP]

whats even better is a completely stock civic or lancer driven by a family.. but with random rear rice lights.. wtf.

[nos man]

maybe it's the season to harvest rice

[benny_blanco]

saw that hyundai coupe... couldnt stop laughing ... 1st thing i thought of was need for speed wannabe...

Also seen an abundance of Falcons with some GT/typhoon bodykit and GT stripes.. the money they spend on the kit they could of probally gotten themselves an xr6 which would look better then a riced falcon

[Murry33]

i saw two, yes two ford focus's with massive rear gt wings........everything else stock

wings must be the "in" thing to do these days

I'vee seen heaps of bog stock CEish Lancers with clear tails. You'd almost think they offered them as a dealer option

[RubyRS4]

Don't forget the Magnas

Chef, have seen taht Mirage going around. I hate those Cyber kits.

For all you Southerner's, there's a 96' Corolla going around down South with... every single performance brand sticker known to man kind on the car. From Blitz to Nismo! It's literally plastered all over the car. Looks shocking. Nothing decent on the car, either.

Also:

Yellow Hyundai Accent - plates: Aksent or something. Bright yellow, twin canons, body kit with bonnet scoop. Finally got defected the other day!

Countless Lancer's going around with Evo kits and Droid kits with twin exhausts.

I wont name this person, as he's a 'mate' but he has a 00' Lancer with... wait for it... his name as a badge on the rear! Yes! You know how you can get single letters in badge form to stick on your car from Autobahn? Well, he did this and put his name on the rear of his Lancer in badge form! It's a Silver Lancer with a custom body kit and twin pin-sized centre exhausts. If you see this car, take a look at the rear!! It's worth a laugh.

Also came across a huge fail at the BP Servo on Beach rd - P plater driving a Mazda 626 with a fake bonnet scoop and huge rear wing. He even asked if "I can drift the Skyline" and "if I could do a big burnout when I leave".

You don't see many CRX's doing the rounds anymore? Are they still selling much, Chef? I used to see them all the time a few years back with the twin Canon exhaust and huge kits! Now I don't see them anymore!

I also see plenty of 4 door R31's with massive Nismo stickers on the front window, or the Nissan Racing sticker with a rather large Canon coming out the back.

[Iron Chef]

Actually I saw a CR-X on the weekend too - Lime green, 15" mags, twin tailpipes...

[DAS KAMU]

I had 2 count em 2 riced up mirages with 4 inch drain pipes driven by 2 guys with spikey hair and white rimmed sunnies (at night)

trying to start a tripple death race with me comming home from a nice weekend in southport (gold coast) no Sh&t they were like swapping sides with me and all - kind of like when 2 dolphins swim around a tour boat .......

i was laughing so hard when the g.f says ? do you know those faggots?!

i was laughing sooooooo fRigging hard

man i just pressed the acceleratior down about 2 milimeters and was doing aboit 112 klms and they faded into the night embarresed by my pointing and laughing

[CRoNic...]

I wonder what happend to the AVP CRX? Anyone remember that from Autosalon? Had the Alien vs Predator graphics airbrushed onto it, etc.

Apparently the car lived in Pt. Pirie or something! I remember he sold it on ns.com for like $10k after spending sooo much money on it.

[Mayuri Krab]

The mirage count seem to be adding up, my Manager at work recently bought a riced Mirage, has all the usual stuff. Giant cannon, 18" Chrome, lowered, bodykits, Xeon headlights & It was PINK!!!

But it seem to do its job well, I was talking with a girl at work & she was saying how the manager found a bargain as the car is "only" $7k, she was surprised when I told her that Mirages aren't really worth more & my mum's stock 2002 Camry can probably sell for more.

[CRoNic...]

The guy who lives across the road from me loves his stupid Mirage. Complete with 15" ROH rims, 'sports' exhaust and factory body kit. It even has a Osiris sticker on it (yeah, like the shoe brand!).

He washes it all the time. He said he'd rather own the Mirage than a GTR. When he said that, I think I vomited in my mouth.

[craig R33]

lol, i seen that mirage with matty boy etched into the graphics on the side at the bay on saturday

i lol'd while i was eating my noodle box
