English is my 2nd language so I dont always understand slang properly.
I have a type R, fully wrapped, with hks IC with hks stencil painted.
it has all bolt on and catback exhaust, so it is kind of loud if I step on it.
I have 20" aftermarket rims.. a random guy at the gas station today came up to me said that what a rice, civic.

I feel offended but I didnt act up... as I honest not sure if he is trying to insult?!
what would you guys do if that happens to you.

again, english is not my 1st language

It comes with the car. Just ignore and enjoy driving your car.

He probably couldnā€™t afford the ā€˜riceā€™ car.
Seriously only people that say that kind of stuff usually donā€™t even have a nice car to begin with.

he probably doesnā€™t know what a type R is. Saw civic, big wing, loud exhaust and automatically went digging into his short
small of generic responses.

The term "RICE" can mean a couple of things. The most common interpretations are:

1. Rice implying it's a Japanese car and therefore inferior to American Muscle cars.
2. RICE as "Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements". Meaning, all exterior mods are race inspired, but have no actual function.

Most people see Japanese imports and think "Rice" due to the sheer amount of shitty Hondas out there with fart cans driven by young kids who don't know any better. The modern equivalent of this are X-Gen owners who install the Boomba Blow-Off Valve (Don't do it kids). These shit-boxes gave Hondas and Honda owners a bad reputation over the last 20 years.

So when someone sees one, they think of all the negative stuff and just label it Rice. But fear not! There's a way you can fix it! Listen to what they say and then....just don't give a f**k. Who cares what they say? Do they pay for it? Is the title in their name? No? Then their opinion doesn't mean a thing.

If you're happy with the car then that's all that matters. To be honest there's a lot of cars on here that I consider straight up rice and ugly but it is what it is. It's they're car and I hope they're happy.

I believe the full word for "rice" is "rice burner". In the 60 and 70, us Americans were comparing Japanese cars to rice burner. Over the year, it becomes just "rice"..
