My buddy and I were just discussing this the other day. If a racey souped up Honda, Toyota, or Nissan is called a "rice rocket" or "rice burner", would that make a souped up MCS a "scone rocket", or a "tea burner"? LOL!

I'm 6'3" with an athletic build, and most of these guys have always known me to drive a big SUV because of the comfort. Also keep in mind that I'm smack dab in the middle of "pickup" country. There's a certain mentality around here that will never change. But, with that said, I caught several of them commenting on how cool my car was when they didn't know I was within earshot.
I'm 6'5" @ 270 and live in Redneck Central, GA. Mountain Man, clad in flannel, looking like I fell off the roll of Brawny paper towels.
Which fit my F-150 and I got grunts of approval.
Well now I have 2 Minis, red for the wife, green for me.
And when people see me get out they stand there and scratch their heads.
"that car shoud be driving you..." "aren't you a little big to be playing with matchboxes?" etc.
But 3 of my felmale coworkers have hugged the car so far.
And yes it's cute. Big deal. My wife is cute. Sandra Bullock is cute. I like cute.

I don't hate japanese cars, I love them (STI all the way)! I just hate the stupid idiots that put on flashy parts bought from pepboys that are supposedly JDM "replicas"
