The Dreaming Stops when the Buying Starts

[jaredpogi]

That's the case if you're in the market for a ricer. But for the loyal Mercedes-Benz fans, the dreaming never stops.

Jared, bakit ricer na naman nabanggit mo? Matinong usapan lang.

Pat, even in the radios (e.g. 88.3 Gearbox), printed motoring articles (Car & Driver, Automobile, Mopar etc.) the term "rice", "ricers", "rice boys" has been used over and over for the past decades. Are we getting old backwards that only now we want to make so much fuss about it?

Yeah, I was once a "rice boy" too, and every so often when I have to be like that by force or by circumstance. But I'm not that immature and uneducated to really make a reaction about it just to get something going or an issue to brew.

You think I'm that immature by trying to get an issue going? To me kasi, especially if you keep posting stuff about MB but at the same time putting other cars in a bad light, it gives a bad impression of us MB owners especially if you publish it online. It makes people think we're elitists, when we're not - I don't know about you. You of all people should know we're definitely not getting old backwards, but is there really a need for its use?

Moreover, your crediting of Route 66, MBCP, and CATS puts them in a bad light as well, however indirectly. I just kind of wished you used a more formal term. It doesn't mean that if others have used it to denote a certain type of car, that it's alright to do so as well. Owners of those specific types of cars will get offended, as you have experienced first hand.

Like I said, matinong usapan lang. I want to keep this civil, and try to understand your side more, if that's possible.

+1 On this, Amen Pat

Sorry, double post.

Pat, there's still no reason to fuss around for such a small thing.
