I was at the gas station today and I witnessed the perfect accident for ATOT: A woman alone in a large SUV backed into a modified Civic that had a fart pipe.

interesting.

so why are anti suv'ers ranked on soo much harder than anti ricers??

what makes anti ricers inherently more lovable than anti suvers?

There wasn't actually, I'm just easily confused.

Edit: Besides, I think Ricers are trying to be obnoxious, annoying, pests, where as SUV soccer moms couldn't care less about bothering anyone.

Don't contradict what the voices in his head are telling him.

that's what's so frightening about SUV moms, they don't do it intentionally and yet they are SOOO annoying. could you imagine how much more annoying they would be if they TRIED to be annoying.

Ya, i can just see it now, the next big trend Ricer Soccer moms.

Yeah, it was just a low-speed parking lot thing. Tore the whole back bumper off the Civic though.

I had my camera there, but I figured that if I started taking pictures that I'd aggrivate the ricers. The Civic was part of a 6 car group (one of the cars was an S2000 that had a single fart pipe, some genius had decided that the 4-cylinder needed three-inch exaust exaust tubing).

The S2000 does have 240hp stock..and if it was f/i, maybe he had a reason for 3" exhaust..:p

I'm well aware of what the S2000 makes in terms of power. The point is that the exaust is not restrictive to begin with. The best gain I've heard of on a dyno from a different exaust is about 10 HP on the top end of an S2000. And doing that makes the car lose low-end torque. So adding a larger exaust is weakening the engine's weakness to imperceptively strengthen its strength. It's just not the smart thing to do.

that's like saying a drunk driver isn't responsible for his accidents.

Ricers get in more accidents than SUV drivers... AND they purposely try to be obnoxious and annoying. No contest. Ricers suck it sideways!

Good point..especially considering the S2000 only has ~30 more ft/lb torque than my Corolla, even though it has twice the horsepower..heh
