Are Chevy Cobalts And Dodge Neons Ricers?

[Turboterrorist]

Trying to settle a debate. Need public opinion.

[Mr Eps]

No..

[Nee-san]

They are front wheelers aren't they ?

1. Rice car - An automobile, generally of import classification, that is souped up and characterized by use of stickers and decals that do not match any manufacturer of the car, spoilers that look like airplane landing gear, and hideous paintjobs and fart cans.rocket.

2. RICE - stands for Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement.

Originally, for me, either Cobalts or Neons are not rice cars. But if someone do the above things to ANY cars, then it become a rice car.

Take a look at need for speed underground.. You'll soon see that the dodge neon was a very fast car... And for some reason drift really good too

Ahh underground.... The main reason I've always wanted a skyline.

Do you think actually being fast means something is not a ricer? That would mean a 400hp Silvia is not a ricer. I disagree.

Bit of a grey area, But i'd happily label them as riced when they all 'tricked' out

i was rather dissapointed to find i was only the 2nd person to vote Don't give a shit

like someone else has already stated, ANY CAR can be rice'd up. but straight off the production line, nether of these cars are "rice", as you so put it. they are just good old fassion "shit". /thread.

[Turboterrorist]

they are just good old fassion "shit"

Lol, definately.

The Cobalt turbo makes 260HP though.

Can any non-Japanese car be a ricer from the factory? I think these are.

WTF are you talkin' bout, Willis?

Rice comes from Rice, as in the stuff that Jap cars run on. A rice mobile is a Japanese built vehicle that's covered in shit. It's not an acronym.

By the very definition a Cobalt or Neon can't actually be a Ricer as they are not built in Japan however I think the term has broadened to capture any vehicle which you typically see which is as slow as a wet week and tarted up like a slurry getting ready for a night under the red light.

What are you talking about?

That's exactly what I said.

So first you are saying only Japanese cars can be riced up, and then said any vehicles can be riced up?? FAIL.

[Silvia GTR]

Poor boy seems deluded

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

i'm pretty sure that the "race inspired cosmetic enhancement" acronym was invented well after rice was a common term.

imho, rice is rice, whether the car is US, EU, JP or UK etc etc

Nice comprehension.

You said RICE is some shitty acronym. It's not. The term Rice came from the early 90's and it was a derogatory term to describe JAPANESE built cars which were slow and covered in wings and stickers and shit. They were called Rice cause they were Japanese built and "ran on rice" which is also taking the piss.

Technically a US built car can't be "rice" as it was not built in Japan (where cars run on rice) however the vernacular has now expanded to include all cars which look like a harlot after a night on the Breezers. So I'd say in this day and age the Cobalt and Neons can be considered Rice.

Yes, I agree with you. It could have been.

Sorry my bad, I forgot to mention that "RICE - stands for Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement" is something I picked up on the internet, not something I made up.

Yes.

But they have to be slow (Not that slow) and covered in wings and stickers and shit. Not stock. Stock cars are not "riced", are they?

Correctamundo.

I assumed to OP was referring to these cars, should they have had stupid looking shit stuck all over them.
