Quoted: While I completely agree that they sound like shit and if you polish a turd it is still a turd, I think you guys are missing the point. It is THEIR car and THEIR money so let them do what ever they want. Yes it is ugly, yes it sounds like shit BUT this is the USA and they have the right to drive a POS if they want to so quit bitching and moaning like a bunch of old women.

While I find the whole concept of "rice" incredibly stupid, I agree with JBritt - it's the U.S.! Let them be as stupid as they want.
The neighbor kid across the street got a used civic about a year ago (great kid, btw) - and he's totally putting the tinted windows, stupid custom lights, fart can, etc on the car (whenever he makes enough money mowing lawns, etc). Meanwhile, I'm trapped in the restoration hell of my 73 Mustang. When the mustang is done, I'll have someone take pictures of both of us next to the cars
... of course, by the time I am done, I'll probably have about 3 times as much money in the mustang, so it's not like it'll be a fair comparison. He'll probably be able to go to college with his Civic for the money I've spent!
But - I am profoundly irritated by cars that are deliberately made louder - whether by teenage assholes in Civics or middleaged assholes on harleys
