I Hate Rice! I will not leave you a comment saying "Love your ride! 5 S*T*A*R*S*!!! Keep up the Great Work" unless I mean it! I will not kiss ass in order to get a 5 star rating! So to all the real tuners and modifiers on the site whether you drive an Import or Domestic help me rid this site of mass amounts of stickers, cheap autozone spoilers, excessive neon, cheap decal and vinyls, and gross and absurd bodykits! We can offer each member opinions to help them be real automotive enthusiasts! Join me. Please post this quote in your profile.
