>From what I understand these Nitrous kits are pretty cheap, now, around $500 or
$600.  I know some Kraut Boys (Modded VW GTIs) that have been considering them
just to keep up.  As for the term "Rice Boy," I thought it referred to any
person of any ethnicity driving a modified aisian-made car.  Or in motorcycle
terms, you're "riding rice."  Do you find this term derrogatory or offensive to
you?  I can see how it would be.

In my neighborhood the big fight is between the modified Mitsubishi/Honda crowd
vs. the Big American Muscle cars.  It's kinda like the mods versus the rockers.
