Sorry 1200rc,
Rice is not about having a powerful and pretty (in the owners eyes) car. It is about having a gutless car with useless modifications. I wouldn't call a powerful car rice. It's got some cred in the form of kW.
Drift is cool and certainly requires a lot of skill, but drift is not for showcars.
You have enough Dattos and parts to fix small accidents (if they happen). But what about those people that don't have as many spares? The cars go to the scrap metal dealers and they disappear.
I don't think AFRacer's comments were "Dis'ing" drifting, he's just saying that he likes his Datto enough to not want it to get trashed.
You can have a wife and enjoy her at home, or you can take her out to orgies and swinger parties...each to their own.

ps. I don't know why I keep relating good treatment of cars to women..maybe it's the governments incessant advertising regarding "Domestic Violence".
Drifting is Domestic Violence againt cars.
