An ebarassment to automobiles worldwide. Why somone would feel it necessary to put money and time in modifying a Japanese car in hopes that it could keep up with REAL sports cars is beyond my comprehesion. Here's an idea- save your fucking money and buy a real car assholes.

I pulled up next to a rice rocket on my ride on lawn mower at a traffic light. The giant "CIVIC" and japanese symbol stickers blinded the rice boy's view as I continued to burn his ass.

Rice Rocket 

An import car, usually japanese, that is modified and suped up. It is cosmetically modified with wings/spoilers, body kits, lowering suspension, etc. And suped up with intake, exhaust, cams, clutch, turbo, etc. A Rice Rocket HAS horsepower and torque to back up cosmetic modifications. Rice referring amount of rice consumed in the Asian diet and Rocket referring to how fast the cars go. Rice Rocket is usually mistaken or confused with the term Ricer which means roughly: an import japanese car that is all show and no go.
