PSA: When ricing your car it's good to actually know how to drive

[Argo]

Was stuck behind a typical ricer today: exhaust, huge spoiler, wheels, i.e. the whole package. Yet, the guy kept driving with both feet on the pedals, as indicated by his break lights being constantly on, even while accelerating.

My bets are on him having his brights on to fake the "look of HID" with his stock lights. 😉

How did he have a foot on the brake pedal when they need to be on the accel/clutch when accelerating? Automatic ricer?

It was "two feet" driver if I've seen one. The light would go off for a couple of seconds as he started from a stop at a traffic light, but then immediately went on again.

They're easily spotted by their elite ability to shift into neutral at stoplights to get a rollback before doing the same automatic launch off the line. 😉

You see, there this great human feature called two legs with a foot attached to each of em. Its great. We put one in front of the other and we magically move! Its like, cool.

EDIT: You think it coulda been an electrical problem? N/m, you said it would come off and on. Did you see who was driving? Coulda been some guy's parent/sibling who doesn't know how to drive manual very well.

This one time, I tried to improve on the spork. I messed with the handle end to turn it into a cheap plastic knife. I named it, the knipork.

It was an automatic since the brake-lights stayed on at the traffic lights.
