Seems to be an amalgam of various 1960s Mustangs, including the "new" Eleanor from that crap GISS remake, plus a few riceboy parts thrown in for good measure. |

Skid, watch it with the racial slurrs please. |

"Riceboy" is not a racial slur. Please consult one of the many anti-rice websites for further information. www.ricecop.com is a good starting point. |

Skid, I don't want to start a debate but here's what the the Urban Dictionary states: riceboy "an asian or any other race[sic] who modifies or "soupes up" their car (usually a japanese import) by any means to make it faster, louder, or better looking. Often times these modifications are extreme." I believe you didn't mean to use the term in a negative way. While I'm open to alternative definitions, it's safe to say that in US slang vernacular of the last 20+ years, "rice..." is a derogatory term for someone of Asian descent or of Asian culture. If a white guy like me knows this, it's probably not cool. |

1. Urban Dictionary usually has several definitions for any given term, and they're user-submitted, making them less than reliable. I have personally submitted definitions to that site before. 2. The "anti-rice" community is pretty big on the internet, and if you frequent automotive forums for any length of time, you'll run across the word "riceboy" at some point. Almost without fail, it will be in the context I'm using it in. Heck, "Car and Driver" magazine not too long ago made reference to the "Riceboy taillights" on the U.S. spec Lancer Evolution. 3. The definition you quote says "An asian or any other race." That doesn't sound too race-specific. 4. The term originates from "rice rocket," a term used to describe Japanese motorcycles. Today "rice" refers to any tastelessly modified car from the "modern street racer" school of customization. While it might have had racist origins, many other terms we use in everyday speech also had racist origins. These old definitions are simply no longer relevant. In short, if you wish to not use the term, be my guest. However, I do not believe in falling into the pitfall of euphemistic language to avoid offending small groups of people. Everything is offensive to someone. |

Well put Skid - I enjoyed reading your response. Increasing levels of argument can be halted completely by a clear, logical, reasonable contention. I'm glad to see these boards aren't full of poorly-spoken, slang-headed, unreasonable bigots. car_nerd, it's always great to see mature opinions based on reasonable conclusions, but the automobile is much too important and ingrained in North American culture to not have the majority of enthusiasts vent some sort of distaste for dissimilar automotive styles at times (it's selfish nature -- we are all controlled by it, even in our most courteous motivations). The term 'rice' may be used as a harsh expression of one's own disgust with said generation of automotive styling, though it's unharmful racially now as many, many caucasian individuals are guilty of this 'rice' style, which has lessened the original intention for using the term (some people even 'rice' Cavaliers, or Neons, etc., so 'rice' applies to a style of automotive customizing). And yeah the Mustang does look like some amalgamation of various styles. -- Last edit: 2007-05-03 20:06:47 |

During the chase, this Mustang looses its roof because of a truck, and it crashes into a shop!And the Explorer's body was removed by the alien! |
