Smile Taurus Ricer

I took the 911 out for a drive tonight and got stopped at a light, guess what goes by, a freaking ricer Taurus. I mean the full effect, big wing, monster exhaust, silver tinted windows.
I took off after it so I could get a picture, but he was no where to be found. Here I thought Rochester was 25 years behind the times and I find a trend setter in our midst.

You know whats funny...any form of rice on a Taurus is most likely going to be a big improvement! How sad...

If Japanese overly modified vehicles are called "rice"....shouldn't an overly modified American vehicle be called a "potato"? <img border="0" alt="[hiha]" title="" src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" />

On my recent trip to Texas my Uncle's rental car was a Kia Sedona or something and while the legroom was good, that's about the only thing! I mean absolutely no power at all...no wonder Honda Civic boys think they're fast when they compare it to something like that! We just put the thing in first gear (it was an auto) and just drove it around at like 7k rpms everywhere...

Never ever buy a car that was a rental car, lol!

I did enjoy "ENJOY" I like that sort of sense of humour.
I got the impression he might actually have a half decent car himself hidden away somewhere..

went on a cruise with some BMW and S2K people today, and saw an old riced out CRX and the guy was revving at all of the m3's and other nice cars in our group.... he then proceeded to rev to the limiter (with it bouncing) and tried to burn out... the tires smokes, but once he finally grabbed, he didn't really go anywhere. This brings me to my point... the shirt is right... our lugnuts take more torque than those little hondas put out.....
