Oh, Then you know what I am talking about, and in that sence the 20 inch rims also serve no purpose but affecting your braking distance, reducing your acceleration, and effect your cornering.

Aside from, of course, they look good to most people, I cant argue that.

Yeah it's a show car, I know that, but in that sence that you have taken 90% of the practicality out of a fine car, to me, is rice.

[Rapley]

OK, so it fits your definition of 'rice'. Practicality set aside, do you acknowledge that, as a SHOW car, it does it's job well, and is crafted nicely? (as in, not thrown together, care and detail was taken to make it look good as a show car?)

As far as the wing on a FWD car, that's debateable. Most of the huge park bench wings have NO purpose, but there's some FWD cars that come with stock wings, that do help keep the rear end planted more, not to tansfer 'power' but to handle better? no?

A big Turbo SRT-4 that makes 400whp isnt Practical.. Is that Rice?

I guess that's the difference with people's point of views:

Function>form = not rice then huh. I guess to you guys, it's like, "why make an econocar look nice? It's not worth it."

Form>function = Some people just wanna separate themselves from the ordinary, called being a little different, you know. "I possess this car and I love it. I wanna be different."

I think that's how it goes... It would be a boring world indeed if every car looks the same though.

SRT-4's a different beast; it's definitely function over form.

When you could shave up to a second off your time at the track with some 15 inch wheels with street tires, and without all that heavy ICE

But it all works isn’t that what function means (to perform a specified action or activity; work; operate: The computer isn't functioning now. He rarely functions before noon. )

My TV’s are function to be watched at a show, its there when I want to see it’ll

My rims are designed connect the car to the road. Which they do....

My point is I can argue that same point about anything a person does in life like getting a tattoo, or a special hair cut, or certain clothes. There decisions in what they got doesn’t make it non functional.


Bye the way i can accept someone not liking my car or a modification that was done (I'm not mad about it at all) but i was just concerned that it was assumed that parts of my car dont work. My bottle is even full.

[Chibits12]

Lol, I'd get owned by Krack if he races me; he'll be gone before I blink.

[napalm588]

And yes even though it fits all of our defenitions of rice, It was done very well for what it is, and I applaud him for craftsmanship I am not capable of.

I was talking in the sence of Practical.. No Car in Particular.. Just Practical.. A 400whp SRT-4 isnt a Practical car.. So by the term you listed it would be considered rice.

[lolelectricbluesxt]

Here we go again.

I wasnt aware the guys from anti-rice.com worked for websters dictionary, and could freely define what a word truely means in an attempt to win whatever arguement they are having at the time.

[racer12306]

well, you could take rice to a whole other level. what about paint?

paint is solely the driver/owners choice.


but thats pretty extreme.

where the F is the bottle I was all over the car and I never saw it.

Yeah where we were I was watching the TVs in the bumpers when I was resting. Another neat thing is all the TV's play different stuff.

But Bro you need more of a DVD selection cause I watched the same damn that at least twice.

Well, sir, I have made it quite clear that in every time I have defined rice, I have said "My own personal definition of rice"
and am in no sence talking for people in general, or even the forum I am from in general.

[Neonix]

All I have to say is:

Hi, I'm a member on AR and I just figured I'd chime in on this.

What we use as the base defenition as rice is Form>Function, as you know. Any modifications that would only enhance your cars appearence are thereby considered rice. A 400whp SRT-4 can be rice, if it has parts on it that fit the description I just gave you. Hell, an Enzo can be considered rice under that defenition.

What most of us do, is take Form>Function and go from there. My own opinion of rice is a car with distasteful modifications.

[napalm588]

Sure it is practical.

It is practical as a race car.

"Crack" 's car would be neither practical as a road driven car, nor a race kaa. Therefore falling into the show car category and making it rice IMO .

[racer12306]

i can say that you, napalm, have been very civil. i know i appreciate it, im sure Jason (Diablo0) does as well.

keeps things cleaner, its more of a debate, rather than a little bitchfest.

[cheese007]

Both hood and eyelids. Told you I could find one.

i can tell you for sure, that many people do not go for that definition.

that definition is saying that someone can't do anything that would solely give a nicer appearance. like a new set of wheels, like a new set of 16s in place of 16s. no weight difference, just looks better on the car. that would be rice, i know i disagree with that. and im sure many others will too.

[MoxHair]

thats just horrible

Agreed.

I added window tint, because I thought it would make my car look better. So does that make my car rice? No. I debadged and removed the side moldings too, because I think it makes it look better, but that would be considered rice...right?

As I mentioned, that is the absolute most basic form of the defenition.

Personally, I would agree with you there on the wheel point. A better looking set of wheels is, well, better. I don't mind body mods as long as they both look good and have something to back them up.

[silentneon01]

while some of our cars may look the same here on the site. In day to day driving we are all alone.

I've never seen twin cars here something always different even if its just paint. There's something different.

Well that is usually the point where the argument falls through, and people have different opinions on. And usually where people take the judgement into their own hands and decide for themselves if it is tackey or not.

We have very pickey tackey detectors, basically.

In that utterly basic defenition, yes it would. In my personal opinion, no it isn't.

bit of an understatement, imo

[Chibits12]

I don't know, it's still a very interesting debate so far. It'll go down the drain soon imo.

[lolelectricbluesxt]

Not sure why it would need to be locked, it is actually a pretty civil debate
