Is This Legal!? Options

[Spitrod]

Okay. It's late. 2:30 am..

I just went to the gas station for a pack of smokes. When I was getting
out of my car, I hear what sounded like an import pulling into the parking
lot.

I look and see this local hillbilly dude in his Ford Contour. He threw on some
performance, honda-esque muffler, took the hubcaps off his wheels, sprayed
them black, and put some racing stickers in his rear windows.

I'm anything but a "car bully"...but are these people for real? I would feel
like the biggest ass driving around in a fraudulent "street racer"...

The only thing he was missing was the cardboard body kit.

I seriously laughed out loud in the parking lot. It's insulting to those of us
who spend every day under our hoods and in our cars.

Rice doesn't bother me (look at my screen name, ) because we all have to start from somewhere (unless we were born into money, which I don't think 99% of us were).

When I was in college, I rode in a Civic. I was poor as dirt, but when I upgraded from my steelies to 15" alloy rims (yes, 15"!) I was thrilled. They were from a stock later edition Civic, but that was all I could afford at the time.

Later I bought $20 seat covers from Costco and again, was quite happy with the change that it made.

It wasn't until much later did I learn what the term RICE meant, but unless you ride in Lambos, Ferraris, etc, I don't think you have any business calling someone's ride cheap.


Hell, I still consider my [current] cars RICE, but only in the sense that they are modded in a way that many people think is poor in taste.
