I saw a BMW the other day and it had some light stuff and a sticker on the back it said "10 seconds". I thought "Hmm really?" Then I looked a bit closer and thought "nah". It would have to be the best sleeper in the country.

Anyway I did see a ricer chick in a totally pimped out pink civic and she was actually pretty cute.

no no by far the worst is when you see some sort of a car, lets say a civic, and on the back window there is a huge honda sticker, taking up the whole rear window... it's not like i don't know it's a honda... :disgust:

No, by far the worst is the Blue sunfire I saw today with "SUNFIRE Racing" in reflective yellow vinyl writen from bumper to bumper. Oh, and don't forget the matching yellow hub caps! :)

...or matching green hubcaps like some idiot by my house has. Given all these stupid "performance-enhancing" add-ons, its a wonder why more ricers dont put speed-holes in their cars



:D

Speed Holes!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Give it time man, give it time. It'll soon be announced that multiple holes in the hood cause greater airflow and help keep the front end of the car down, while the sushi bar wing on the trunk keeps the back end down.

I saw it yesterday with a mid 90's 240sx (looked like it had logged about 450k miles on it and it was red with a huge made-in-the-garage white "spoiler) trying to impress a new camaro and I saw it a few weeks back with a guy in his silver civic trying to impress somebody in their souped up BMW.

I think this is the worst thing about all drives who think their car is badass. Domestic or import :disgust:

One of the best moments was when I was with my friend in his Eclipse ("ricer", but a very nice ride, and kicks every domestic in town) and he pulled up to a guy with a "modded" (using the term very loosly) Neon.

My freind goes in a sarcastic maner, "Wana Race?". And the guy in the Neon goes, "No, my car can beat the sh!t out of your ricer, it would be a waste of time." Then my freind simply goes "Yeeeaaahhhhhh..... oookkkk.... hmmm... didn't your mommy ever tell you not to smoke weed? She was nice enough to lend you her car, you should at least listen to her." And when the light changed we kicked the sh!t out of the neon without even breaking the speed limit. He pulled up next to us a little while later and told us off and said we cheated.

That made my day! :D

The mid-90s 240sx driver was not me.

Thank you.

Also some people do that to get a better look at the car or hear it up close. I know that once I saw a Viper and I tried to catch up to it so I could hear its V10 roar and to get a better look at it. Unfortantely 400+hp is a little to much for my Maxima to catch up to...plus I didn't feel safe to weave in and out of the traffic the way the Viper dude was.

Hehe, fun thing to do if you have a GT3, as i just found out:

Pull up to any ricer, rev a couple of times, and when ligh hits green go at it, now obviosly you'll pull out way ahead, then brake firmly, and watch the ricer fly past you into the curb knoking the next stop sign down, because apparently no rice car can stop as fast as a porsche. :p

Wonder if I'll see her when I go there in a couple weeks. I hate rice. If one of them ever pulls up to me and revvs that 4 banger with a fart can I'll just drown them out with my V8.

I like rice. They keep the economy going.

I go to Burger King, they work there. I buy food. They get paycheck and take it to PepBoys/AutoZone/etc....PepBoys sells them silly things that light up in the night. And the US Economy goes round and round like the LED Valve Stem covers they just bought.
