Coolest Civic Ever

Check out this Alpine Civic, it`s scanned from the new Superstreet Mag. IMO, it`s the nicest Civic I`ve ever seen.

nice car, but a little too much stereo for my tastes!!!!!!

**jhb** · 04-12-2003, 08:08 AM

IMO a little to wild and probably pricey.

I would not say "ricey" Everyone uses that word anymore whenever someone customizes a car not to their taste. Aluminum wings I do consider rice though...especially on a fwd with 90 ponies. haha But I do know that I could not drive that car cause I get dizzy just looking at the interior.

I think i would also get dizzy, or lost.

Please dont turn this forum into SHO. Im saying that as nice as I can.

Personally having some very good asian friends, I think the term "rice" is deragotive. They feel it associates tackeyness with Asian vechicls/culture. I mean I see alot of people with confederate flags everywhere on their trucks/cars and shotgun racks but I don`t call them "racist white cracker" mobiles because alot of people do hunt here hense the shotgun rack and while a confederate flag isn`t my taste owning one doesn`t necessarily mean you are a bigot. I do agree that SHO has basically turned into a webboard composed of rude teenagers though, and it`s funny because most of the members on SHO hate "rice" as much as this messageboard does lol.

I would`ve just bought a G35 coupe or EVO 8 with all the money poured into that economy car...probably have some left over for additional mods, too.

**Pats300zx** · 04-12-2003, 01:01 PM

God...I would need a guide just to get through the interior. HELP I`M LOST !!!

**ahunt01** · 04-12-2003, 01:23 PM

Lol, yeah I can`t say I`ve seen a more distracting interior before ever.

**jeromet** · 04-12-2003, 04:09 PM

:down Not for me.

It looks more like a parade float than rice. I love custom cars, but that is just tacky and grossly overdone. I can appreciate the work that has gone into it, I just think the work should have been spread out over 12 cars.

I don`t understand how calling a car "rice" is derogotory. There is no ethnic group that is referred to as "rice". The connection is that many of the overly accessorized vehicles are originally built by japanese companies. I hear asian people calling these overly decorated vehicles rice just the same as anybody else. They used to be referred to as "jap-scrap" which I do find insulting but I guess the term was dropped when the quality of asian vehicles exceeded the quality of US cars.

I also have never heard the term "racist white cracker" used to describe a vehicle but I do hear "Mullet Mobile" a lot. Should all white people be offended by this term or just the mullet equipped?

I will just keep what I think to my self....

**imported_Aurora40** · 04-12-2003, 06:53 PM

tasteful

**ahunt01** · 04-12-2003, 07:07 PM

racist white cracker

I made it up lol. But some thoughts do float to mind when I see some of those cars driving around. I just hear the term rice alot, and my friends get offended. They`ve even seen pictures with Asian guys making honda emblems with stir-fry rice just for the picture. Yeah I`ve heard of the "jap-crap" term before. I have an old popeye movie of my grandfather during WW2 with popeye fighting the japananese, kinda odd to picture popeye saying "your a sap mr. jap" lol.

Sorry for making a big stink over the whole rice term thing, my dog just got major surgury yesterday, (tibial plateau leveling osteotomy), it basically takes out the whole knee and replaces it with a metal one. His insicision opened up last night so I had to rush to the vet at 1 in the morning for an emergency, and have been up since watching him, occasionally to take a break and do stuff like this. So I havn`t had too much sleep lol.
