With all the ricer allegations going on, it’s time to pinpoint the pinnacle of ricing.
Wooden shift knob doesn't feel particularly ricey to me, trying to ape yuropean luxury more like
>>29134820It's gotta be one of those massive parking brake levers right?
>>29134820My shift knob matches the colour of my car how rice am I
Rice = form over function. Simple as.
>>29134881Automatics are more efficient than manuals
There won't be as many (You)s as (You) were hoping.
>>29134881You know what? Fuck it. I like form over function. I'm sick of pretending otherwise and beinf fed function dictated looks, it's why we have fuck-ugly blob cars now. I'd take a egirl/bimbo who doesn't know how to do a handjob over a granny who does know how anyday and I think 9/10 anons would too. Do you think cathedrals were made the way they are over some brutalist utilitarian design principle? No of fucking course not. Why can't that same attitude be applied to other things anymore?
>>29134930Because numbers are easier to defend than taste you have to develop yourself
>>29134881Rice = Tuned Japanese cars, aka rice-burners (also applied to bikes), used as a derogatory term in the early days of Japanese imports by Euro and US car ownersThe acronym Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement was invented to make the "Ricer!" insult less racist and applicable to more car types.Simple as.
the end of the argument is that ricer is a term that deconstructs enthusiast to the point where you're only NOT a ricer if you want the vaguest, softest, and most detached driving experience possible, and have such an aversion to thinking critically about your own car that changing it in any way from stock is cringe inducingironically, such a person isn't very mechanically inclined in the first place
the real rice is that american and european cars all suck ass now
>>29134825It looks really good.I'm imagining it not having the plastic cap with the shift pattern and instead having the pattern laser etched in wood. Kinda classy.
>>29134820>shift into 1st gear>car goes backwards
>call that rice>when this existsWooden anything is luxurybait, not rice
>>29134963>instead having the pattern laser etched in woodgunk collector
>>29134930>Do you think cathedrals were made the way they are over some brutalist utilitarian design principle?I'd go to church here>>29134969On an automatic is especially crazy
>>29134970Presumably the whole thing is coated in something so gunk couldn't get in?
>>29134930>>29134973lord forgive me for I have forgot pic
>>29134930>how anyday and I think 9/10 anons would too. Do you think cathedrals were made the way they are over some brutalist utilitarian design principle?I see you never seen Protestant design churches
>>29134967There's a lockout, you have to either push down on the whole shifter from neutral centered or pull on a collar to access R on cars with that pattern. There's no way you're accidentally getting R.
>>29134950No you subhuman faggot, RICE has always meant race inspired cosmetic enhancement. Insulting Japanese cars was just a flat "traitor" up until the 1980's when non-Trucks or SUV American cars were deemed shit
>Mahogany / black walnut with no pattern.Very classy with dark interiors.
Having to put it into each gear yourself is not luxury.
>>29134969Sorry but this is awesome
>>29134820>>29134825I believe Porsche offers this for $7950 btw
Neon underglow.Not only did it suck but the smallest pebble would render them useless.
>>29134984>>29135035You two are beyond assistance or redemptionPic relevant
>>29135040Yeah, I remember it being a general slur for any modded Japanese car or bike. "Rice rockets"The acronym came later, probably from some random early 00s website making jokes.
>>29135051It specifically says "Shift to modifications (1990's)"But at least you've acknowledged you were wrong
>>29135056Yes. It shifted to modifications.
>>29135052It was never well-defined.Rice and rice rocket has been used to describe the drivers and the cars, and both hi-performance and modded stuff.The "Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement" was just one way in which people tried to narrow-down and define the term, as we are still doing right now.
>>29135065If you take something that's rice, and make it even ricier by tuning it, then you are, by definition, a ricer>>29135066And a way of being woke by trying to remove and hide the ethnic slur and its origins
>>29135065You have a tuned Japanese car, don't you?
>>29135074>how is that rice?If it's Japanese.
>>29135075Roughly equivalent
>>29134970are you retarded? you ever heard of varnish?
>>29135071Tuning a car isn’t rice If you make a car Faster by giving it a tune, how is that rice?rice is just any cosmetic modification that doesn’t make a car Faster/drive Better
>>29134825I’m referring to the type of transmission.
>>29134969I'm stealing this idea
>>29134820The pinnacle of ricing is stance. It's all form no function.
>>29135048I always heard rice rockets and crotch rockets used interchangeably for japanese sport bikes.
>>29135514A computer will shift faster and more efficiently than you could
>>29135524But I have more fun doing it myself
>>29135526Huhuhuhuh he has fun touching knobs
>>29135534ARE YOU THREATENING ME
>>29135514How is a transmission rice when the entire concept of rice is cosmetic bullshit
>>29135583Bus riders will make up anything to fit in
>>29134820That's called a dumbfuck knob. Dumbfucks only get it to drop into the wrong gear and make a long loud fart noise.
>>29135583manual chuddies like to think they are cool. cool looking = ricesimple as
>>29135743>cool looking = riceNo, not true
>>29135039Fuck you neon is an art and looks better than LEDs.
>>29135514>type of transmission.FFS give it up. Nobody cares.
>>29136537sexo
>>29136537My dream is to retire to a remote village and maintain a small fleet of cars like this. I would need to retire, because staying on top of the rust on these is a full-time job.
>>29135149See>>29135071as your original post got deleted - posting CSAM again?
>>29134950You re a ricer, you could be in a fucking buggady v16 manual and you'd be a ricer, it has nothing to do with the car btw
