Rice vs Race...Show vs Go

I think a convincing case can be made for either side.
For the racer, the thrill of throwing their car around a track or fast corners, outrunning slower cars and/or burning down the quater mile is an adrenalin rush that is hard to top.
However you have the down sides, like speeding tickets and road accidents if done in public. Possible harm or death to yourself if on the track. Costs involved in replacing worn suspension, brakes, tires, bashed bodywork e.t.c. The cost of track days. The cost of making a fast car that handles well. The fact the car rattles your teeth when running over small bumps in the road e.t.c.
For the ricer, the quality sound system, the looks they get, the comfort of a nice interior, the fact they love looking at their car and being in it is satisfying enough. It is also much cheaper to put a sound system in a car and make it look better then it is to make a fast car that handles well, requires little to no knowledge about cars either.
However things can get way out of hand. When a car is made out to look fast or like a race car when it isn't; e.g massive rear spoiler on a hyundai excel and coffee can exhaust on top of 140db sub woofers annoying the hell out of everyone, then the word rice is justified.
I think modifying a car can be done stylishly and tastefully without having to be a racecar or a circuit car, as long as it isn't pretending to be something it isn't then it should be fine. My 2c
