Was black vinyl that much more expensive?
"questionable style choices"... ...I've just been using "unique." I like that, and am gonna have to steal it

My critique... ...the 240 gets respect for what it is, but Im not buying the "stealth look" mostly becaus 1) the trunks not painted to match, and 2) he used a texturing primer so Im sure its rough to the touch (like high grit sand paper) Which also means that when it gets dirty its hard to clean. And it doesnt reflect light well at all, first pic is a good example. If a similiar look is desired I recomend paint with a satin finish. Im assuming its just a work in progress, which is why its in primer, and is also why hes rolling on stock looking wheels

The TT Z just looks like he rear ended someone and stole the hood and bumper off a black car

The s2000 is probabally the only one I cant excuse. So much money wasted on BLUE wheels?!? Whats worse is the little red honda motorcycle decal on the rocker panel. If he wanted to support that side of honda heritage he should have done a real ricer job, blew up the size of the decal, had it blue, and aplied it to the full side of the car... ...atleast then the wheels would sorta work for him finally

The miata... I was giving the "work in progress" excuse to it as well. Rear trunk panel needs paint. I wasnt digging the wheels either... ...Im not a fan of the color But mostly I was ignoring it because I figured they looked stock enough, that I assumed you were in the market and got an awesome deal on them. ($50 for the package) Im just hopping your window motors do work, as there is no pic with them down. Seats torn up... ...But I figure as old as the car is, its unavoidable. Not real sure whats going on behind the seats. Oh, and your little console monkey wants me to tell you that you forgot to plug in your gear shift boot

Sorry if my critique is a bit bashing... ...but to make you feel better, I think the s2000 is the worse of the group... ...mostly because due to its age, the worse it should look was stock... ...but he somehow found a way to fvck even that up. I give everyone else in the group a free pass, because of the "work in progress" excuse... ...I figure its more of a funding issue rather than a taste issue.

And to also make you feel better, most rx7s are crappy looking too (80's) Mostly because being 20 years old, anything thats factory is pretty much fvcked. interior pieces all cracked (seats and dash) Paints a mess (peeling or faded) That and unlike miatas, rx7s arent real reliable... ...very few FCs ever show up at the meets. There is a crowd, but most of them came with a different vehicle. So basically what Im trying to say is, RX7 owners really cant give you much hate because if they werent ALWAYS working on their engines, whos to say their taste in aftermarket appearance mods would be better? Ugly RX7s are ugly due to age, not due to aftermarket

If you wanna drive all the way to dallas, I recommend waitting for the quadstate rotary BBQ. Thats the one place you'll find TONS of RX7s of every generation including rx8s Everyone who attends the monthly g2g will be there, an most likely WITH and RX7

If it involves what you seem to think it involves, I don't want to see it or hear about it.

Flame Job:
1) graphics resembling flames, usually found on vehicles
2) the work or process of flamming something that is clearly flammable
3) a piece or example of something that is aready flamming

"We should flame that flame job because he is flamming"

I was mostly using the #2 meaning of the phrase.
Rice=Flame Job
Rice=flammable and thus, worthy of being flamed

I gotta side with him on this one...that's stretching the definition of "rice" for that Miata...it's more old skool than anything else...if he had cranked a big 'ol wing on it....well, now, that would have made it very rice....I'm just sayin'

first of all... ...naming youre little car club "the non ricers" is "teh lame"

second, if you have the most non riced out car in town either because everyone else just has more money than you, and though the potential for rice is there, whatever money you do spend on the car is spent keeping the car running and legal rather than purchasing actual apperance mods... ...which the exception of the shift boot... ...or its the most non riced out car because everyone else there has money AND no taste what so ever... ...explains why you see that town lit up in neon. Thats also why your friends able to spend $15,400 - $34,250 on an s2000, and still have $1000 left over for a butt ugly rim set.

Even after writing you all off with a "work in progress" pass, how can you accept the s2000 into your group? Hes PURE rice
