a shame it's no longer the case at this point.

I don't consider extreme negative camber or roof racks as rice, as rice IMO is Race-Inspired-Cosmetic-Enhancements.

negative camber was simply bored Japanese delinquents wanting to do something more ostentatious to their vehicles while still breaking vehicle laws (spoilers can't be higher than x height, mufflers can't be louder than y decibels, etc.).

have you ever considered the fact that there are cars which gain a decent amount of negaitve camber once they are dopped? we aren't saying every car with negative camber is rice. giving your car (especially FWD) a shit ton of rear negative camber to rock wheels that dont fit is the new RICE.

whats so funny is if you rewind back say 3-4 years ago, how often did you see cars at meets rocking roof racks with barely ridden bikes on them? or stupid junk they could find in their basement thrown on the roof for a meet? how often did you see cars with intentional rusted hoods, body panels, or even the whole damn body. how often did you see clean built cars with garbage widened steelies and diamond racing wheels? how often did you see retarded sticker bombing? how often did you see animal print completely covering a car inside or out?

The whole car scene has gone to shit IMO. everyone is trying sooo hard to "be different", yet they're just following every current trend to date. Just because you're doing something different, doesn't mean its going to turn out good. the moment people decided to combind a bunch of different car trends and throw them onto one vehicle, is about the time when this shit went down hill.
