GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

ok, im gonna break it down for ya'll.i am not ashamed to admit that i like most of the cars that a lot of you would refer to as "riced" i hated the fast and furious, but i watch it every chance i get just to see the "ricers". i like the altezzas, reasonable spoilers, ground effects, etc.who else here likes them too and is not afraid to stand up and rejoice in the name of "rice"?

yeah, some ricers are ok, but the tacky-too flashy ones need to go. also, the kia or echo for example, dont need HUGE wings. lol.

i like some riced cars, just not the huge aluminum wings and primered parts. i also detest the canned fart mufflers.

Be American Buy American.

quote:better get rid of most of your vibe then!Why? The Vibe is built in Fremont, CA. That's in America last time I checked.

are the parts not japanese?

quote:are the parts not japanese?Just because they have Toyota part numbers doesn't mean they were made in Japan. Most Toyota Camrys are built in the US as well.

well fine then. everyone, keep your vibe, throw away all of your home electronics

Drunken, how a bout a few rows of those dangling pompoms hot glued aound the interior ceilings.. ?Anyone remember the interior of the old Cheech and Chong van... tiny steering wheel etc..?? good idea, i could get those things and a chain steering wheel!

quote:well fine then. everyone, keep your vibe, throw away all of your home electronicsthe only reason I say buy american is assembly of autos comes with 27+ years in the union. if toyota wants to assemble a car in america go for it, I might consider buying one IF (and a mighty big IF) it was union made. got to stick together ya know. as far as electronics well....I guess the american companys that were made in the good old U.S.A. thought profits are more in another country.

Since you picked the thread name...

LOL! This is a good thread.Some rice is good, seperates your car from everybody else. Rice is given a bad name by a choosen few who are unafraid of the public ridicule to put a 3 foot wing on the top of their Civic hatchback. Put the 20" high polished chrome wheels on their Accord. Or 87 pounds of decals and rollcall stickers of things they don't even own.Taste is a lost artform. That is why you have to find a friend to keep you in check. Do you really think that 10" diameter polished exhaust tip is necessary on a stock muffler? Is that carbon fiber ramair hood gonna look good on your '87 Corolla?

There is a fine line between RICE and rice. Some Hondas look good and some look like crap. Same with other cars, personally to me a Bonneville with a huge spoiler, stickers and fart can is RICE. But a nice lowered honda with a deep rich exhaust, nice spoiler and paint scheme is rice.
