Re: what do i have to be white to own a e30 (archive)

The complete automotive resource for buyers, sellers, and owners like you.

Ahhh, there's one in every group, the person that takes "riceboy" as being a racial insult. "Riceboy" has nothing to do with ethnicity, it's a term for the wanna-be boy racers out there, it used to be only used towards drivers of Civics and teggies and such, but it's grown outward, and can be applied to any half-wit that thinks doing things such as street-racing are "cool"

: do i have to be white to enjoy a e30? what does the problem with eating rice have with owning a e30? get a life asshole

: : Yes, I did say riceboy, they don't just drive Honda's, I've seen plenty of them in e30's too. I love the immature 16 year olds on this board. "Oooh, he doesn't think street racing is cool, he must drive a chevette". Yea, I forgot about that, the Vauxhall badges must have fallen off of my '89 is.

: : Racing is attempting to shave half a second off of an auto-x run by being a little smoother, racing is working to hit an apex just a little better, to brake later, and get on the power sooner, these things require talent. A brain damaged monkey can "drag race" an automatic at a red light

: : : : : Gee, great, two underpowered, automatic vehicles decided to have a stoplight drag race, and the heavier, less powerful vehicle lost, wow.

: : : : : Seriously.."ooh, look guys, I beat a Z3 1.9!", do we need this sort of riceboy crap on the board?

: : : : : Those that have any talent, take it to a track, those that don't, call it "street racing"

: : : : : : About 20 minutes ago, I encountered my first race in my 87 325iS(auto). I was at a red light minding my own business and guess what pulls up to me? A 199x BMW Z3 1.9(i could tell by the rims). I wasn't sure if it was manual or not, but it looked like it was an automatic. The guy was probably in his late 20's and he had either his girlfriend or wife in the car. So, here I am, the first car at a red light and this punk has the nerve to point at my car and laugh. I admit the E30 isnt as good looking as the Z3, but come on, aren't we all family? Anyway, so I get pissed off and drop the car into neutral and start revving. He quickly caught my drift. So when the light turns green, we both take off. For some reason, he got the jump off the line, but the 1.9 is no match for the 2.5L inline six. Gradually I start to pick up on him than I hit the sweet spot, 4500+ rpm. Damn my car took off. It looked like he was standing still. 2nd gear, samething. By the time I was at 100mph, he was probably 1 1/2 cars behind me. Not bad for a 13 year old car. I thought I would share it with you guys, and the next time u see a 1.9 Z3, challenge him, you won't be disappointed!

: : : : there is no reason to bicker at joe, the Z3 guy challenged him. I'm proud that such old cars can beat these newer cars. Hell my 88 M3 challenged a mikrosoft dweeb the other night in an E46 328ci. his gilfriend didn't like the turnout eather. If somebody challenges you, why not accept it? racing is racing.

: : : He's kind of like the Grinch that stole X-Mas, Ebeneezer Scrooge / Nothing positive to say about anyone or anything individual. Must be a real gem. Would LOVE to see his "ride". Probably a Vette (Chevette) "turbo charged"... Try not to take him personal- you will learn to block him out after a while... Gotta love the "bold black" posts though... O-Well...
