Riced Camaro?

Umm... mabey i'm just old school.. but this is just wrong!!

It's really ticking me off how many retarted car pictures i've found on collegehumor that are with a third gen camaro... why are these fools messing with our cars.

Ehh, to each his own, but still... i always wanna do this; Me--><-- him... lol

Well, also, not to be one sided about it, i'll also say it looks like he did a good job.... too bad it was with a camaro is all. lol

(found at COLLEGEHUMOR )

I wouldn't call that Riced out, as much as MEXI-fied.

um yea guys im sorry to tell you that that is no riced camaro. all it is, is a camaro with hydrolics, lots of mexicans in the south west do it, not only mexicans but some black guys too. its more for show, they have competitions and all kinds of things. but get your terms right, rice is body kits and the like.

oh but mat, your wrong TOO!!! rice is a mind set that people have that putting body kits and wings as well as stickers on a car makes them fast. or even think that a stock motor with intake and exhaust is fast. people back in the 70's would put highjackers and white lettered tires and glasspacks on a car with cragar ss's, and then thought they had the baddest car in the world. same frickin' deal as the "r!cers" out there, just new skool vs. old skool. instead of highjackers and cragar ss's, it's body kits, lowered and 19" wheels. none of these things make a car faster, just more annoying when the people that own them think they are fast.

i tell you it's a mind-set, not a style of car.

alright after reading that i guess you are right. it just seemed different in my head. but i deffinetly wouldnt use a camaro for hydrolics, more like an old buick or caddy. they are like bricks, not that a camaro isnt like a brick, i know i took a police cruiser to my door and i walked away. with only a scratch on my ankle

Yeah... most TGO'ers are closed minded like that. Thats pretty cool, and that he did it to something other than what its ususaly done with is pretty cool.

wow, i didn't know there was such a heated debate over what's 'RICE' and what's 'Mexi-fied' .. lol.. didn't mean to get in a 'race' issue. lol.

And let me clarify. I really could care less if the guy put hydrolics on a car. Or that he toyed with him here and there. But raising your car like that, in a freaking WENDY'S parking lot? ... no competition, no real reason but to show off. THATS what i'm calling kinda retarted. It'd be like if i just walked around w/ my *ba-gahhk!* hanging out cuz i thought it was bigger then most peoples... lol.. You use it when you need too, or when it's appropriate, and then you put it away.
