To rice or not to rice?
Okay, my friend just bought a 1978 Licoln Continental with the 460, and he asked me if I would shoot him some ideas on fixing it up. Just because I think it's funny, I think he should rice it to pieces, especially a fart pipe and tons of 'Type R' stickers. Maybe even one of those big 'japanese writing' stickers that goes halfway across the hood at an angle. What I wanna know is, should I leave him alone and really help him fix it like a good FOMOCO product should be, or should I keep on with the rice? Wouldn't rice be funny on a `78 Continental? Imagine, little stickers on the hidden headlights, that'd be hilarious! What do y'all think?

if its a cheap, put around for no good vehicle, Yes, rice it out. It would be the funniest thing to see. You would need some big wheels, a ton of air scoops, and many stickers. But, if it were a nice vehicle, I would just fix it up nice and make it run with the best of them. Or, make it run like crazzy and have it look like crap, all dented up and rusty, then when you beat rice, it's really sweet. If it were me, I would go the second choice, but then again, I wouldn't own that car.

He bought it for $400, and it is his daily driver, his only car, and he is split-minded because he is fascinated by power and speed, and I told him that a 'Type R' sticker is good for 50 horsepower, but he didn't believe me. 
I promise I will post pics if he does let me 'rice' it out.

A car like that begs for the Pimp Daddy treatment.
It goes like this. Multiple 12" woofers and amps, Tru Spoke wire wheels, Vogue gold stripe tires, suspension lifted up high with the rear being several inches higher than the front, crushed velvet interior throuhguot, multiple Landau bars, etc. etc.
Oh man, I can almost hear the theme from Shaft playing in the background. Superfly, you da baddest ***** in harlem. Sho-nuff!!
Pickup Man, your buddy will be beatin the b!tche$ off with his walking stick for sure.
