Rice Burner

I would have to say a rice burner is any car made in Asia and is used derisively by rednecks and yahoos who think you need an American Muscle car to go fast. Recently I saw a '74 Pontiac Trans Am for sale near my home. It is beautiful, factory spoiler, big fat rear tires, manual tranny. Then I thought to myself, with gas prices like they are, why would I want a 6.6 liter V8 with who knows what size four barrel carb, probably double pumper. I would only be able to afford to drive it on Sundays. I love my MKIII Supra N/A. It's got plenty of spunk, ain't to bad on gas, and looks damn good to boot. I have gained a healthy respect for jap sport cars, they do a damn fine job with a lot less than an American Muscle car. My only complaint is the cramped engine compartment. Makes em damn hard to work on.
