i had this discussion over at another forum today .. why do you consider that rice? just because it's slow? I mean it has a fairly decent body kit IMHO, no crazy exhaust, no 10 foot spoiler, and no stickers ....
I mean I wouldn't say I would buy one for myself, because I almost bitched my friend for saying he wanted to buy one (it's a girls car, not ricey) no offense

Wonder where those kids got the plastic jewelry?
"You have to find a way to drive AROUND speed bumps in a parking lot."
Yeh, that would be me.
"You have more stereo WATTS than engine TORQUE!" 300 for the sub and 27 each speaker, damn that's me too!
That needs to read: "Your factory stereo has more watts than your modified engine has torque!"

Yup, for 10 years the executives at "MTV" tried to convince 84 percent of the population to act and think like 11 percent of the population, I think these guys bit!

I work in a nasty part of the city full of fart tube cars..... if it sounds like it's farting (a tight japanese fart, not a full blooded good morning american beer fart!) then it's rice! Otherwise it's just a dad being good to his daughters.

i thought that I was the only one that thought this way.
Don't sweat it Len. Common sense in my opinion. I don't even like to have my son or daughter ride in my C3 for safety reasons. It's fine for me to sit on the side of the road trying to stem a minor fuel leak before the tank drains or the car catches fire, but I want my wife and kids to have a car that runs until the tires are worn to the rims.

It's great on gas, got 33mpg on the first tank, great price and low miles.

Not rice, but you could've bought them a newer T/A that would've smoked that thing. It's understandable that you want to buy a car for them that won't beat your Vette. 
Are they twins?
