True Life: Im a ricer..., *sigh* Options

[bloodrain]

Well, after riding around with an unpainted car (all in primer) and just ordering a set of underbody blue neons and 20 LEDS it finally has set in, my car is slow, unpainted with neons, im a ricer... I cant help it tho, I like neons ^_^

Maybe a car is an expression of personal creativity. Maybe people should be able to make their car look good if they want, or make it fast, and for those with the $$$$, they can do both. What is wrong with a car that looks good but isn't fast? Has "looking good" become synonymous with "being fast?" Since when? I guess we have the F&F to blame for that.

Quite frankly, I don't care if your car is fast. If it is and you're cool with that, great. I like fast cars. But I also like good looking ones. So maybe it looks good. Cool. Oh it's fast too? Great.

Frankly, I'm an irresponsible 18 year old, and if I had a 3SGTE, Id've been dead a long time ago, so I'll keep my neons, both inside and out.

The stuff used on imports to make it look 'good' also are used for other purposes, mostly performance related.

A good example is a Carbon fiber hood - it isn't primarily for looks, it's for weight reduction to make the car faster in the 1/4 or on the street. Do you get what i'm saying? Looking good kinda is synoymous with going fast, because they're mostly performance or aftermarket parts that people use. That's the point of what i'm getting at. Racing seats, pillar gauges, air ducts, lowering springs, exhausts, intakes, they do serve a greater purpose besides looks, they're for speed.
