Les, Did i come across as i was "shooting off", i was mearly seeing if other people shared my view. I wasnt trying to start a 'us and them' discussion reguarding cars and thier modifications, i was trying to maybe understand why people do the things they do to rice cars. Forgive me for trying to understand other motorists, and widen my understanding. I did not bring race/religion/culture or class into the discussion, because in Melbourne it doesnt seem to be typical of one ethnicity to put stickers onto cars and call them fast. I agree that some body kits look attractive, but they tend not to accuratly reflect the performance of the vehicle. Personally, i think there is no point making a car look fast unles it does (dont advertise what you cant deliver). There is a small portion of these 'rice' cars with body kits that astound my by their performance, and good on 'em if they can afford it. I think there is a large difference between my thoughts of 'hotting up' cars, and the rest of the communities. I think that hotting up cars is making them go faster, stop quicker, handle better, and more importantly be more reliable (although reliability is all but flushed down the preverbial shitter once performance is increased dramatically.) I will admit, attracting attention because of a car is good, buy it is not high on MY priorities, maybe to others it is. So Les, please dont be so defensive, it was good to recieve some comment from the other side of the discussion (being someone who drives a 'ricer'), but please dont think that i was meaning to abuse, degrade or separate ricers from the rest of society. Good luck to you, and happy driving [Report message to a moderator]
