Well, are you going to post links, or are we going to have to guess where this is happening?

Looks like you found more than one...

Gotta find a link to that "Internetz is serious bizness, b!tch" picture.

You can usually spot an idiot comment by how vague it is. He was "involved" in some shop (no name given) that was building Nobles, and they're "REALLY" not nearly as good as they're cracked up to be. (no details)

"MUUUUCH better cars on the market for that price range." -- Such as?

slaughtr · 10-22-2009, 09:31 AM

I got similar asshat comments on my car here in Idaho at the Idaho Motorsports Forum. Somebody snapped a shot at work and posted it. A lot of comments like it's a Fiero with a body kit and the owner must be a d**k with too much money. Typical internet courage.

Cthulhu · 10-22-2009, 09:45 AM

Your car can't be Riced... It has to be Sconed or something. Oh, and it's freaking gorgeous btw.

Let me guess....better cars.....like a Civic, right?

Seems it's always the carless person or guy in a beater that is such an expert on all the high performance vehicles in the world, which is the best, the fastest, the most expensive, and the best deal.

SweetDaddyD · 10-22-2009, 10:10 AM

haha, those guys are great.

If this is the mentality you have to deal with there I'm sure there will be much entertainment:
"
And for the record, anyone who buys a $135K Anything that doesn't have a ZR1 badge on it is wasting time and money.... just sayin'...."

And the guy who's name is Civic,(with the all American description underneath) age 23 lists a nice list of what I imagine are vehicles he really doesn't own, well at least the 2 Fords, and if he does I imagine there is a smidge of room for critique.
'97 Hellrot BMW M3 GC 450/550 #9s, PF RTABs LCABs
'89 Mustang coupe
'26 Ford Modified speedster
'32 Ford roadster...current project
'98 Integra DB8, Soldier List: HYBRID RACING/Eibach/STATUS/K-Tuned/Karcepts/Chasebays/ACT/Valvoline/Suja1/PIC

I'm willing to bet at least one of those guys "lives his life a quarter mile at a time" Well actually the guy with the miller highlife avatar has a similar quote.

Bavarian Motorist · 10-22-2009, 10:25 AM

HIDs are functional. Not rice. Rice is something that isn't functional/hardly functional yet conveys the appearance of function.

Mr. Know · 10-22-2009, 10:27 AM

Those guys are a bit too low brow for a Rossion...just sayin'.

You mean like extra blue HID conversions in non-projector lens headlight assemblies (hint: the glares all over the place and the blue color actually reduces the visibility of the reflected light - what you see). A lot of HID conversions are pure rice...

Bgwilly31 · 10-22-2009, 11:12 AM

Well anything above 6k i guess i could be considered rice.

alot of the ricer comments the guys are just joking.

But yeah the main reason i post over there and go to the occasional meet is just for my entertainment. like people watching.

Those are rice. A hint of blue is OK, though.

Lancia · 10-22-2009, 01:38 PM

The full spectrum lighting I use is 7500K. (fluorescent)
That's what I consider white.

A lot of hid specs are nonsense though.
But the real color and light output charts are weighted toward amber light and are inaccurate, to a point.
Linearity can be more important.
Some of the auto hids in high K seem very spiky.

Agreed - hate to stereotype, but posting about your Rossion there may bring out negative emotions from certain types of people

LBC111 · 10-22-2009, 02:52 PM

It's just pure envy in its most childish form.

apk919 · 10-22-2009, 03:16 PM

Dude, you're in Cincinnati for goodness sake... aren't Corvettes considered exotic there?
