When I had my ranch, I had a Toyota Land Cruiser. with no top, doors, windshield, just ready to roll anywhere all the time. Even into town, it was a hoot!
Life in Eastern Oregon!

Hopefully you had goggles on and never smiled. Sooooo many bugs.

Yeah, you know, I had several ponds on the place, but one I planted about a 1000 trout in. Well anyway the Mayflies were so thick near that pond. Your right, the no windshield was a bit of a problem near there. My daughter came to visit for a week or so before she went to Italy. She likes trout, so we headed over to the pond in the Cruiser for some fish. Shit the bugs! Man! But we got her some trout with the fly rod, and I was forgiven the bugs. But seriously, those fish must have been growing like near an inch a week on those dang bugs.
Ah! Life is good!

Tune it to classical and it keeps your car from getting jacked.

Well, who doesn't like rainbow trout. Fun to catch, fun to eat.

It's something of an Asian slur I suppose. To me it is just a Japanese car (usually) that a white kid tries to make look like it is from Fast and Furious.

Riced out is the easiest way to describe his car. Ugly chrome rims and a stupid JC Whitney catalog type spoiler.

Is the JC Whitney catalog still around? I used to love that when I got my first car.

I never thought of it as anything to do with white kids - it is Japanese cars that are updated in the F&F style. If anything, it is a derogatory term for hot-rodding a non-American car in a cheap and "non-tasteful" manner. (Of course, non-tasteful is a term that is open to interpretation - people do all kinds of things to cars that I would not do to a car of mine, but if they derive happiness from it, who am I to say anything about it).

I really do not think it is really aimed at the owners as it is at the origin of the car. Of course, It is probably the same as referring to cheaply modified American cars as red-neck cars.

FWIW - My old Miata is slightly lowered and has a chin spoiler and a small rear spoiler - and someone once asked me why I riced it. The answer was that it was within the rules of the road-racing class I was running at the time. I do not think that it is tasteless, but I suspect some purists are not fans, and that's ok. I do not think the spoilers do much, but the lowered suspension definitely improved handling on smooth tracks.

I don't think of it solely as white kids doing it. They just always seemed to be the ones to do it worse.

I know what it mean. I'm just glad you admitted it. It's definitely a slur...

The term was around before Fast and Furious.

Yeah well the cars are so bad some sort of slur is appropriate. In this case it is the only word I know of that is in use.....

Those Asian mother fuckers aren't offended last I heard.
