Grammar and typing > you.


I've never considered 'turbo engines' to be rice. I dont mind european cars, but if its riced out i'm not gonna like it.

yea i typed it really fast and didnt proof read before i submitted it.

I suppose those in europe and japan would call our cars inbred saucer eye cars. Or haha look at dumb american car who can run a 13 second 1/4 mile but break every other day.

It's all about perspective.

i consider rice a style, not a brand. a camaro, corvette and lambo can all be rice. its just all about the style and attitude of the driver

i guess rice is a state of tackyness and being cheap. in a sense your trying to make a a cheap little car that wasnt ment to race race. or ur making a fast car look tacky by adding cheap little parts to it. all car like bmw that i have herd with exhaust dont sound muscular liek american cars but they dont have that farty bees in the can sound either.

In my opinion, there are many awsome European/Japanese cars. Mazda RX series,Mitsubishi,BMW,Bently,Rolls Royce... the list goes on. I don't think they are all ricers. I suppose it depends on what you do with it to make it a ricer. The real question is, arn't our American cars using a lot of European and Japanese technology? With that said, would you say that most cars on the road today are all pretty much the same? (Besides style, of course.)

[Jpx87]

german crs and soem japanese cars get alot of technology before us american cars makers think of some stuff but either wait on it of bearly develop stuff liek the v8 that cuts of at cruising gm had that idea along time ago but waited on it and chrysler was going to or did put it in there 300c now gm is finally using it in their 5.3l v8's

in european market they dont have many v8, mostly are 4cyl, and dieasel

[98Silver6]

like the damn this was not fast enough out of the box....damn

[dashboardrunner]

use best little kid voice from Big Daddy.... "Slow dooowwwwnnn..."

lol do you think the germans and japanese make fun of american designers (read ford) for all the crappy "retro" designs? cant you just see em sittin around a big table eatin sushi or something and are all like "why cant those americans come up with new designs? why must they take classic designs and butcher them by tryin to make em more modern?"
i dunno just my two cents.... flame on...

German cars are awesome especially Audis. They have the technology and they`re awfull quick.
It`s not true that mostly 4 cyl. drive around here. There are plenty of V 6s on the street do`n`t mater what brand: Mercedes, BMW, Audi, VW, Peugeot, Renault and the Porsches. They make V6s from 2 liters up to over 4 liters.

In Comparison my 3.8 V6 is very slow even to some V6 cars with fewer horsepower or to many 4 bangers with 1.8 or 2 liter engines and around 180 to 200 horse. And if you take a souped up VW GTI Series 2 with their skinny weight of only around 2000 Pounds there`s no chance at all.
Sometimes it can be frustrating driving an american car here in good old Germany except if it`s a V 8............
