Austarion

Hey guys,

Rice Boy first came from America back in the early 80's when Hotrodding was at a peak and american muscle was almost a religion. When a Hotrodder saw a guy in a car other than an american car he was a rice boy because his car was made in either Japan or Korea.

When it made its way to Australia a short number of years back the definition was skewed and anyone trying to be somthing they aren't eg "I am talking to you ya N13 Pulsar with GTR badging i saw in parklea carpark" or someone doing the dodgy to get quick looks by cutting their spings or having unhooked up subs in the boot for showing off in a carpark.

There is a difference to making your car look good and being rice.
So by actual past meaning of it we are all rice boys and girls hehe.

This ones for you Kelfy :) :beer

Cheers.
Ben

Does it count when the car was made in australia?

I don't think so, i think it is like if it ain't a holden or a ford heh, don't ask me why ford cause its american owned (try telling that to a major ford buff without causing conflict) (actually then again holden is also now owned by GM in America) but i think it was any Japanese car being that they are Rice Eaters etc. probably a little racist but in the time... uno how it was.

Australian Car = BBQ Boy :)

I'm glad to be driving rice! It looks better, goes better, and is more exclusive than some of the other crap on the road!
Of course, I get sick of seeing other certain rice-mobiles too.
I think about half of the R33 Skylines ever made reside in Perth!
Not to mention, all of the Silvia's (how embarassing to have a car named the same as an old lady's name!), 180sx's, and wrx's here!

Me like Japanese...

food! : )

personally i cant own a hot car that you see alot of eg. silvia, skylines, 180s, rexs...an the holden vl commodore...not that i dont like them...they are all good looking cars....just gets boring seeing them all the time... can i get a AMEN

AMEN :D

Why Ben, I thank you! I always need ammunition against the Cookiemonster and a certain Wantsom that goes"Gerg"

Your responses are eagerly, as ever, awaited!!! :D

is what Boof eats in his dinner.

Kim, you know we know so leave it at that rofl

I think I remember hearing it was referring to their little japanese engines running on rice... ie. rice burners... cause those big yan-keeee in-gins used so much gaas baab.
