all you ricer haters can go fsck yourselves. just because you all drive around crown vics(no offense ornery) and buicks doesnt mean everything else is a crappy econobox.

Some people want to get good MPG, have good acceleration, and good handling, and not drive a huge slow boat. Then, they want to make their generally cheaper priced cars, look a bit better, or go faster.

I see nothing wrong with adding clear corners to a car. It looks slick as hell, and seeing a black car, with clear corners up front and only clear and red lenses in the back is tight. Black, Silver, Clear and Red are all the colors on the outside of the car. that is awesome.

Nobody goes making threads all day long about your 14MPG boat you drive, so leave us alone.

People put many hours into their cars, and the large majority of them learn a lot about their cars, and do their own work. So while you go pay to get your gay auto tranny fixed for $1500, we can order a new clutch kit for $200 and install it ourselves. Now who is laughing.

what is wrong with with neon break pedals or clear lights? sure... to some, they look stupid. They think they look cool though, and WHO THE FSCK ARE YOU TO JUDGE THEM??! Is your life so miserable- that the only thing you can do to feel better is make fun of other people?

People are proud of their cars. And Not every one can afford a fscking 30 thousand dollar car, okay? do you understand that? so most of these ricesr are just doing the best with what they've got. would you rather spend spend 500 dollars on a new a turbocharger for a honda civic, that's never going to go on the track anyways-- or spend half that, get a spoiler and some cool lights and make your car stand out and look neat.. Its like jewelry for cars.

and for all you people who think ricer's look retarded-- well i think the audi A4 looks retarded, and the pasat. oh, and the mustang-- probably the worst car on earth.. Dont even get me started on BMW's... what company makes every single model of their car look exactly the same, only in different sizes. THe least they could do is pick a design that didnt suck. How do they get off charging so much anways! its crazy. 40k for a car that has nothing more to offer than a civic, won't last as long, bitch to repair, and killer in insurance. AND LOOKS LIKE SH!T.

oh well. whatever. i guess we're all entitled to think what we want, right? you like what you like, i like what i like. Crutchfeild is just trying to make money, cant blame them. The people buying neon pedals are just trying to make thier car stand out a little. When 90% of the cars out there are civics.. can't blame people for wanting to be at least a little unique and personalized.

so just go back to looking up pr0n or whatever.. i'm taking a nap.


:disgust:

I'll agree with ya on the Audi A4 and the Mustangs
And I have no problems with little stuff like neon brake pedals and whatnot. My problem is giant racing spoilers and homoerotic stickers plastered all over someone's car.

Some ricers make their cars look nice. Some make them look stupid. Personally, if I get a Civic, I plan to put a SMALL spoiler on it, some decent rims (not any of that multi-colored plastic looking crap), maybe some of the clear taillights, and a couple extras inside, like some nice pedals or something. I don't see anything wrong with that; it's just making my car asthetically pleasing to ME.

What I can't stand is when people take their 1985 Honda Civics and put erector-set spoilers on them, and drive them around with the front seats laid back, trying to look cool.

So that was a cut-and-paste response I take it :p You gotta realize, everyone likes to single out the people who go to pepboys with 50 bucks, and walk out with LED everything for their 92 Toyota Tercel. You might not hate it, but you gotta admit that there's better things to do with a car such as the one I mentioned :)

I will wholeheartidly admit that there are better ways to spend $50, but there is no reason to bash a dude for doing something he enjoys. I personally thing computer neons are the gayest thing ever, but I would never bash someone about their mod, because it is what they like, and i respect that. Then again, I am a "performance ricer" not so much a 16 year old pimple face playing with neons. I think of $50 as $50 towards getting that exhaust manifold(EDIT: brainfart; i meant headers), or vented and cross-drilled rotors, etc, etc.

I agree with everything you said, but

but there is no reason to bash a dude for doing something he enjoys

If there's something corny, I'm gonna call it like I see it. Not to his face, cause there's no need to disrespect, but I don't have to have a positive opinion just because he does, ya kno?

I drive an SVT Contour, it's not high priced, but it is a great performer, so I know about not driving a huge slow boat.

And I'd rather drive my car any day over a honda accord with a grocery cart spoiler and clear tail lights. And yes, I would spend twice as much to get a turbocharger than to put some type R stickers all over my car.

I still contend that for the ammount people spend ricing up their cars, they could actually get a nice one.

The contour SVT is an exception. My friend had one, till some jack ass 74 year old woman in her huge boat hit him at an intersection where his road has no stop signs, and has the right away, and the other cross street has stop signs, he was going down the road, and while he was in the middle of the intersection, he got hit on the side by the lady, i guess she assumed he would stop. He was going 35 when he had the brakes on, and the lady had got up to about 15. She hit the side of the car, and then it spun the car so it was facing towards her street. The thing was totaled. his air bag didnt go off, but he had 5 point harnesses and Recaro racing seats, and was perfectly fine. With the insurance money, he got a Maxima, and he may be supercharging it.

The Silver Bullet





hahahahaha man the silver bullet is just too funny. I love the hubcaps.

I think the worst looking thing I've ever seen are those cheap hubcaps with the imitation brake discs underneath! Just absolutely hilarious. I couldn't afford rims for my car, so I just got some (decent) hubcaps. But don't worry, I stayed away from the ones that try to look like rims :)

I've thought about supercharging my Contour and putting on custom headers to put off getting that 330ix I want. :)
