My Opinion....that is just ONE mans definition of the term.....and in MY Opinion....its NOT the origine of the term at all...not even close. That term has been around for MANY years...LONG before anyone EVER even dreamed of modding imports.....before import cars were anything even desirable to have other than something for cheep transportation that got very good gas mileage....no that is not where the term originated at from at all...

the term Rice Rocket originally came from or was tagged to Jappeneese Motorcycles.....for the simple fact that they were from the orient...and FAST AS A FRICKIN ROCKET.....hence the term. And as I said....no one was Modding imports like this back in the late 60's and 70's.....and the term has been around that long.

I agree with SirNuke...

The author of the article just sounds like an over-sensitive, pissed-off Asian, looking for some politically-correct love...


I hate that crap...
