I have just thought about and started questioning where the derivation of the phrase "rice" referring to the fugly imports comes from after reading post after post of "rice."
Now when one thinks of the term phrase "riced out" one would expect it to refer to something from asia; at least this is what i was thinking. Now, if you look at most modified cars in japan, they are most likely in agreement with the taste of most user's here on prime, since they are usually carrying a bunch of JDM goodies.
So here's my point:
The riced out vehicles we see today are the ones with another car's head/brake lights, fenders, or any other body part.
e.g. this:
But who started these fugly conversions? For all i've seen, the only cars that sport something like that are the one's i see here in america. I have not seen one from japan that is "riced out" like that.
So to say something is "riced out" when it has nothing to do with what is going on over on the other side of the world is politically incorrect in my opinion. So why do we use that as a metaphor when it doesn't relate?
In my mind, something "riced out" should refer to JDM, like having all the NSX-R goodies on your ride (considering it is an nsx and not a del sol).
I think i'm just rambling nonesense, but it does tickle my brain as to why.
Does anyone agree with what i'm saying?
Please state some opinions so i know i'm not alone in this.
