It's time to let it out about rice burners!!!!!!
What do you guys and or girls on this board think of rice burners, you know those cars with fart can mufflers, racing stickers (supposed to give an H.P. gain ), and of course the dumb drivers.... I personally do not favor them. What do you think?????

I'd rather burn my rice on a stove than on a street.

I doubt they are going to be around for all that long considering the way I see all of them weaving through traffic while yakking on the celly. I think it is only a matter of time before they all "die out" so to speak.

don't forget that if you get in a crash your car will survive much better than if you were in a plastic or tin can car

Have to agree, in college I had a Honda CRX (HF) that got over 35 MPG, miss that little roller skate sometimes... at least that mileage. Every era has it's thing I guess and to be honest, if my son grows up and wants to hop one up, and the car will KEEP him out of trouble, I'm cool with that!

At first I hated the hole thing, then I see there side, think of it, we all went through it but with this generation these kids cant afford the big v8 cars and those cars are getting far and few between, not like us where every car out there was a v8 2 door, I hate the extreme things they do, but I give them credit for still having the passion for cars, I have seen a 4 cyl put out 1000HP, dont know how it stayed together, but it did....just feel sorry for there kids,,,,what will they fix up?

every car has a purpose. i hate the step ladder, space ship, antenna towered looking wings and the whoopi cushion mufflered cars out there. on the other hand there are some that are pretty nice and handle, ride, and go like hell. as long as they keep the cheesiness out of them, it's alright with me. i just hate when they pull up next to me and i have my big block at the end of my right foot. then they start revving their 1.8L up and looking at me. i just shake my head a bit, smile, and watch them turn into a speck in my mirror.

Off topic: 71meangreenc10 how hard was that Dakota Dash to install? I assume it's the digital dash? I've got one sitting in my closet awaiting a trip to the body shop to pain the interior before I install it (or have them do it).
On topic: I hate the rice, but I respect that they're just doing what they can to feed the power addiction. Have you priced 8 cylinder power lately on a McDonald's income? It ain't happening man, so a 4 year old 4 cylinder is about all today's (non rich) kids can afford so I guess they're doing what they can with what they got. I still hate it, but I can at least see some of their point of view. Ricers just don't pull alongside my truck acting foolish, you'll look a lot more foolish when a truck that's probably still blowing hay outta the bed from my last trip to the feed mill absolutely leaves your rice in the dust |

i've seen interviews with DON GARTLIS,CARROLL SHELBY & GEORGE BARRIS and they were all asked that question all replied that they thought highly of the new generations ingenuity so hell if it's good enough for them ??????????
although it's not something i'd do ,i appreciate good craftsmanship and someone creating something unique for themselves

I think that they are just like the Special Olympics. Even though they win they are still retarded.

By the way, why come to an old Chevy trucks website and ask if people like "rice burners"? What response do you expect?

I admit it. I like some ricers. I have a dodge stratus (almost exactly the same as a Mitsubishi Eclipse) that is just as fast as my truck and gets twice the gas mileage. It has a lot more luxuries and it MUCH MUCH more reliable. I would not choose a ricer over a 68 chevy truck, but they have their place (for some people). The thing I don't like about ricers is the drivers. They are stupid. I was almost t-boned by one once, several have wanted to race , and they are just in general stupid. I would rather have them waste cars that don't interest me by putting stupid graphics and etc. on them rather than on an old truck. Oh, by the way, wings on front wheel drive cars are of no use
Edit: If you have a ricer, I am not calling you stupid. I am just saying that I have seen a lot of stupid ricer drivers. Oh, yeah. I am only 21

72 mario cant help but smile at that orange creation---looks sort of like a poor stepchild of NASCAR in the superbird/talledaga era
