Default Too much rice

I dont know what other members think of this, but I saw a disturbing thing over the weekend while cruisin'. It was an EA with one of those alloy boot spoilers. Problem was that the legs of the thing went up nearly as high as the roof! To top it off he had a really dodgey fitted chrome rear muffler with about a five inch tip on it. It looked like the whole lot was about to fall of on the next pothole he hit. Im only new to owning an E-series, but I think they look classy with just a tidy paint job, although, some of the mild body kits look quite good.

It was an unmaintained, unroadworthy shitbox! His 14' stockies had bald re-treads on the rear!

I didn't take any photos (un)fortunately, but I'll try to paint a mental picture for you. Faided gold EA with red driver's door, grey bumpers, that bloody huge wing and sagging muffler, bumpers sagging and a beautiful set of 14 inch stockies painted in silver! :

It made me appreciate my ED all that more!

I was actually thinking he could've done with some HKS or BLITZ stickers on the front guards to really set the car off! :

The saddest thing is that the rear wing probably cost him more than the car! :tool:

lol a mate of mine got a dunged out old Kingswood for his 21st from a few mates.

Chrome paint everywhere in the engine bay
Wooden spoiler that was higher than the roof
Measuring cups painted silver and glued on the bonnet
Flames painted on the front end, with a massive VB logo on the bonnet

The cops who swung by to make sure nothing was out of control couldn't stop laughing at it.

If the rice scene had never happened, and things like neons still meant downtown, then that spoiler would look good :P

Yep its on purpose the funniest part is its his only car and he drives it everywhere, lol :

I think most of the stuff has been bought cheaply off e-bay or from autobarn etc. I think he still needs to add
- neons
- spinning chrome hubcaps
- chop springs
- old fire extinguisher made to look like a nos bottle sitting on the parcel shelf
- clear lights made out of glad wrap and foil

This should see the car make at least 400rwkw and run somewhere in the 9's if his cousins mate tunes it properly :

Rice has it's place thou, but there's too much fake rice and not enough real rice. Real rice actually have nice cars and know what they are taking about. Fake rice make love to the fast and the furious DVD and put stickers of all the brands they have in their car or the brands they wish they had in their car so thieves know what they are stealing.

Like the try hards down here in Launceston! Christ, it's shameful.
