Ha-chan is what Excel calls Hyatt in Excel-Saga.

It was appropriate for my car because Ha-chan has had a few fatal illnesses.

Really? I have always referred to Japanese/Korean manufacture sports bikes as riceburners (or crotchrockets). But now that I think about it, I have heard those cars referred to as Riceburners as well.

Anyway, my cars name is Cliff (or Clifford the Little red Car). Cliffs a ‘02 Mazda Protégé.
He gets great mileage. It usually takes Cliff and I 2 weeks to run his tank down. ^_^

*Go Cliff GO!*
Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

yes, he does. and he frequents an anime forum.

riced-out cars deserve teasing because only lame people put that much time into their cars. of course, that asks disturbing questions about those who spend their time debating 'weather goku could beat up inuYasha!!1 in a all out battlte!!!!1!"

Termyt a riceburner is not a Japanese car. It is any economy car that people idiotically spend hundreds (or thousands for that matter) of dollars to "soup up" their stock cars with neon lights, a big stereo system, a fartcan exhaust system, spoiler, fog lights, and plaster cheap stickers all over the hood. Basically whatever will make it at least look fast, because we all know how spoliers and stickers add horsepower and torque.:eyeroll: Here are examples of rice...pretty self explanatory.

hah! my grandma owns that model civic (the one on the left)!

she loves the car, but I have yet to convince her to get a NoS tank. or a spoiler. or hundreds of silly stickers for the hood.
