Best part..

The Americans are quite the opposite with their styling tastes. One only needs to look through a USA auto accessories catalog to see all the flashy bolt-on goodies that are the objects of North American affection. Stick-on hood scoops, tall spoilers, bolt-on hood tachs, fender flares, sunshades, hanging dice, spotlights, bendy antennas, flashing tire valve lights, flame stickers, bugshields, headlight covers, black vinyl car bras, and gold chain license plate frames.

So every American wants heaps of "bolt on goodies" that do nothing for performance...

umm isn't that RICE??

Then

The Australians typically favor cars with simpler lines, more plain looks, and almost no add-on appendages such as spoilers.

I guess he hasn't looked at the HSV cars??

And yes shock/horror there is a big Rice market in Australia as well :)


So that is finally how Ultimate GTO thinks how the US and Aus like their cars...

Don't you just love how silly their arguments are getting... :)

Plain stupidity comes in many flavors I guess. I think that the rice image has everyone believing that this is what everyone here is all about.

I guess he does not realize that this garbage is only ricers trying to be like the cars in Japan.

Sounds like he got on the JC Whitney mailing list. They were rice before rice was rice.

Believe it or not, most . . . er, many . . . um, er, SOME US drivers have much better taste.
