Hey, rice is only true rice when it's all the 'look' parts and none of the 'go' parts.
I don't think many people would be thinking THAT particular would be describable as 'pokey'

Why is there so much space in between the tire and the fender itself on the top pictres? Was he running with smaller wheels?

So the 1 lap has started already, great, now this is where you find the best drivers, not the Gumball Rally, Cannonball Run, or the Players Run, those guys are all morons and cannot drive, but they are still fun to watch. I have known a few people that have entered in this contest and I think that someday when I have enough money that I would like to do so as well.
