Well first of all, I wasn't threatening you, I was warning you.

Second of all, it did cost 200K to produce, but as earlier was pointed out if it was mass produced it would be cheaper. Anything can be a "Ricer", I don't care what country it is from. If you fit in the category(big wing, gaudy body kit, stickers everywhere, no power under the hood), then you are a ricer. And we have all seen some riced out american cars too, just take some people's caveliers for example. And yes the focus is still an import, b/c of the basis it was formed on, not in the literal sense, but the owners who fix these up belong in the "import crowd" b/c you think muscle car guys are going to give a focus a second look. No, they are going to laugh, and say get that riced out piece of sh!t out of my face, and then smoke you.

This is one of my arguments against the focus on my muscle car club messageboard:

from me:
My main complaint is that focus drivers feel that they are not getting an import, and they bought the focus just so they wouldn't be driving an import. Which shows that they wanted to fix up an import from the beginning, just didn't b/c of the fact that it's a Honda and not an american car. If you wanted to fix up an import style car, why do you have to have the american version of it, you are still an import tuner to most people. It's cool if you think of yourself as an import tuner, b/c that is what you are, but if you think of yourself as an american car driver you are kidding yourself. Focuses definately don't fit into the muscle car scene, although this one would(kind of). Anyway, I just wanted to see how you saw yourself as a focus driver, b/c I think of you as an import guy with just another 4-banger.

You were starting to insult people, and their oppinions, look at your first post that is what I was replying to. Since then you have been ok, but insulting people isn't tolerated on the board. It is fine to state oppinions.

And about a camaro being a sport compact, by definition it isn't. It is by no means compact, it is a sports car plain and simple.

As for the term rice, it is used to describe a certain type of car with stupid mods and no balls to back it up. It is not used to say an import car, it can be any kind of car.
