from my understanding, the term "rice" came from imports. hot rod and muscle car guys would call the modified import "4bangers", "pocket rockets", "rice burners" and "ricers". now, we use it to refer to over done modified cars. big wings, big stickers, nasty body kits, anything APC, etc. are rice to most. there's even differant genres of rice, i.e. asian rice, mexican rice, white rice
come to gainesville. most of the modified cars here are rice, and mostly mexican rice
