Onion Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 The owners. The same way that the old Civic Type-R was a great car, but by buying one, you're subjecting yourself to all the rice and being associated with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wevsspot Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Still not sure I get the parable with Rice and the SRT, but we can save that for another day. As for small imports that are fun to drive (or domestic small cars influenced by the foreign competition) I can say that in my younger years I wouldn't be caught dead in something like that. To me "performance" and "fun to drive" were epitomized by the muscle car era of my youth. All that changed the day I drove and later bought our first Subaru WRX. I didn't care if anyone associated that car with "rice". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't care if anyone associated that car with "rice". WRX and WRX STI aren't rice. I test drove a WRX two weeks ago, I loved it! I also loved shifting into second and dumping the clutch and having the car just hook and take off. AWD is surprisingly fun, I had never driven it before.

wevsspot Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Ours was an STi too. We put 145,000 miles on it and then gave it to my daughter, who put another 30,000 on it before she traded it in on a Volkswagon Jetta The only problems we ever had with the car; I had to replace the clutch twice......... hmmm go figure A pesky cold weather fuel vapor leak when the temperature got down below freezing - finally fixed that with new stainless and chrome fuel feed and return lines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone that associates cars with rice versus people that rice out cars probably shouldn't be buying a car in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad. I was on my second at 76k in my car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
