The reason i dislike Rice (with Pics)

My friend and I hosted a big bonfire last night out on the old highway one loop road. We had a ton of people there and one of them was my friend Kenny who has a monstrously hideous hatch, but with a low comp K24 on a 100 shot.
Here's how our conversation went at one point (short version)
Me-I'm stoked for the autocross, but I'll be useless with as much boost as I'm running.
Him-Not like it matters anyway, I heard miata's are not that great for tracking.
Me-wha...what?
Him-Dude it's a miata. They were designed for girls.
Me-.....it's the most raced car on the planet...One of the best selling sports cars in history.
Him-since when is a miata a sports car?
Me-You're kidding, right?
Him-.....uh..no. It's not like a honda.
Me-You drive an egg and you're saying the miata is not a sports car.
Him-Yeah, it just doesn't seem like it would be good sports car.
Me-You've never driven one have you?
Him-No, why would I want too....
Me-........
Me-wanna drive mine?
Him-NO! I'd rather drive an S2K. It's the better version of the miata.
Me-LOL @ UR FACE. The S2slow is nearly half a ton heavier than my car and has less then 1/2 the torque.
Him-Doesn't matter because the miata is not a sports car. The S2k is.
Him-And I'm sure my hatch will take your car at the autocross.
Me-ROFL
Him-what's so funny?
Me-You're on 0 offset wheels and you have traction bars. Your car can't turn around in a F'ing parking lot.
Him-Yeah well I can still take you in a straight line.
Me-Maybe from a supra roll. Wanna dig?
Him-.....shut up..
Me-Dude want another beer?
Him-yeah man.
Point of the story. Different strokes for different folks.

But seriously, his car is completely setup for straight line with all his mods. In my opinion, it's gone completely over the edge as far as a daily driver; every interior piece stripped minus the top half of the dash (I mean everything), no radio, no a/c or heat, no windshield wipers and a giant nitrous bottle that sits in between the passengers legs on the floor and he still claims that his car is a MUCH better daily than mine even with my full interior, bumpin' stereo and a/c. All that and my car is still lighter than his
I think he was just blowing smoke as far as the autocross. I doubt he'll show, which is fine, we're still good friends either way, lol.
His car has to be above 50mph to hook with nitrous; it spins that bad, even with the heavy duty traction bars. If I can get him to agree to a dig race I'll destroy him, AND since he always talks about racing at the track, he'll be hard pressed to resist or I'll call him a poser in front of all his friends Fast and Furious style

I know people that way too. For the most part my friends are jealous of my Miata though, because they all drive/have beaters.
My uncle calls my dads SE-R a "clown car," while his $400 truck is really nice.
