As for appearance, I don't like it either. Audio, video, rims, all that kind of dress up stuff isn't my thing either - although like I said in my previous post, I DO like the way the e-brake looks, but that's about it. That car doesn't look appealing to me personally, but it's tastefully done. I think that's what distinguishes it from rice. It's a show car and it's done as such. It's not some punkass with a 2-story aluminum wing made out of popcans with a fart can to match. I'll actually give them respect for not slapping some Lambo doors on it - those can take any car from zero to rice in no time flat.

the subs and what not i can pass on, but i looooove that color.....and c'mon now, rice? are you joking? rice is pep-boy parts, made to look fast but have NO performance. When you're spending $$$$$$$ on a car, its not rice, thats performance. People throw around that term too loosly when they dont like somethin. (Pet-peeve of mine)

I'm old school
Bob Mull's site has been up for quite some time actually. His cars are cool, but usually not fuctional. They are mostly eye candy only. Most of the stuff in the car never actually gets hooked up. Just enough usually to make it look real.

The workmanship looks great BUT I think it sucks as a car. It is not a functional car that will ever see a race track. It makes more sense spending all the "bling" money making a performance machine which is what these cars were about. Adding some of the components his sponsers bucked up for makes sense if he would race the car. I am betting it gets driven from trailer to spot at shows and back to the trailer. I am spending lots on my car but I am not even considering "bling" until after everything to go faster (and stop faster) is done. Then if something is left over maybe some pieces of show stuff will get added, like maybe a roll cage

the outside doesn't look all that impressive to me personally. However the interior is pretty nice however i think it may be a bit over kill and too busy looking
