I post on the AOL car forum somewhat regularly. I recently had the pleasure of reciving a response that addressed me as a "dumestic nut raker"
(whatever thats ricerspeak for) and told me to "pull my head out of my a$$.
In response, I sent this email...
I should pull my head out of my a$$? Thats strange, I could have said the exact same thing about you. My first car is a 1972 Oldsmobile 442. [Even though I like Mopar...] I bought it much cheaper than any new import (I believe that the Hyuandi starts at 14,000) and I can do all of the maintanance myself. Lets see your Civic do that. As for the whole "pull my head out of my a$$" statement, I think you should pull your head out of your own a$$ and see the fact that American Muscle looks, sounds and performs better than any riceburner out there.
So stick to the rice forums where you can run your mouth all you want and no-one will know any better.
I got this reply...
Wow, thank you for a whole paragraph of sh!t. I would like to know, what exactly is your definition of "rice burner"? Is it just Japanese cars(which are alot more reliable then any American car)? Or all Imports in general?Your statements are nothing but things like "Oh, fu(k that rice thing and get an American car", that's the only reason why I said to pull your head out of your a$$. Besides, the American muscle car generation is over, America will NEVER have another generation like that. I would love to see your face twenty years from now when all your "muscle cars" are gone.
I replied with this and am still waiting for a response...
Strange, but after re-reading my email, I found no lines resembling "Oh, **** that rice thing and get an American car". Even stranger, you say that I present no valid arguments, but after reading your email, I can see the same thing. The only points you present are that "American muscle car generation is over, America will NEVER have another generation like that. I would love to see your face twenty years from now when all your muscle cars" are gone." You also say that imported automobiles are more reliable. I agree with that statement to an extent. Much of that "reliablity" is from one factor- computer control. If you remove, or have any software on your computer damaged, you are effectively rendered with an expensive tin can. In order to get them repaired, you must typically go to a dealership and have it repaired for ridiculous sums of money. This is due to the fact that every system is interconnected through the computer, and even if the repair doesn't invovle the computer, you risk damaging it. This is not so with muscle cars. With a muscle car, and its longitudinally mounted engine, you can perform much of the service work easily and more effectively than the dealership. With a transverse mounted engine, the only things you can do is add oil and windshield wiper fluid.
As to your "American muscle car generation is over, America will NEVER have another generation like that. I would love to see your face twenty years from now when all your muscle cars" are gone" statement, both parts are wrong. In fact, the US is experiencing a rejuvination of its domestic muscle lineups. Take for example, the new GTO. Although it only has a 350 (5.7 liters to you ricers), it still produces monster torque and hp. The same can be said of the new vipers and vettes. In addition to the new influx of muscle cars, the older ones are now, more than ever being sought for their ease of maintanance and amazing performance capability. I refer you to eBaymotors. As you can plainly see, there is much interest in the classic/collector car market. With enthusiasts buying and preserving these cars, the "twenty years from now" that you dream about, when riceburners like you can rule the streets will never come.
When you can present clear and rational arguments and not just throw rice baloney at me, feel free to respond to this email
Well, what do you think. Post any of your "rice encounters" and lets come to a consensus on the source of rice stupidity!
