Is anyone else picturing a redneck with a big ass mullet with a red plaid shirt on, and torn up jeans driving a riced out Civic?

Rednecks just because they seem to be far more obnoxious on the road. I can't count the number of times I've been cut off my an F-150 with an exhaust the size of a tree trunk or tailgated by a Silverado plastered with Dale Earnhardt stickers.

I think it is all grey area. If we pick the worst redneck car modifiers and the worst ricer modifiers, I think it's a tie.

I grew up in a very redneck area and the best thing I ever saw was a car with a brand new stereo system, up on blocks in the front yard. It didn't run, but it sounded great.

To tell the truth I enjoy seeing the many ways that people can screw up a perfectly good automobile. It's a tribute to automotive engineers everywhere that these monstrosities continue to function.

<< Thats a tough one, I litterally about 1 mile from 2 rice shops, TrenZ racing and I don't know the name of the other, so I see 3 or 4 on a daily basis, don't see rednecks too much here, they are further north in Greeley.

What we do have here is a hugh population of Mexican guys who take trucks and put every accessory known to man on it, then let it fall apart.... you know the kind I'm talkin about, the guys with the wheels that stick out further then curb feelers do... the guys with sun visors and moon visors and the corvette style light bumpers....

and honetly they make both Ricers and rednecks out to be a dream to meet up with on the road,
>>

It's been a while since I've seen one but I know exactly what you're talking about! The guy that covers the outside of the cab in black velvet, adds on grab bars and lights running around the windows, every chrome accessory known to man, offset rims that make it look like it's going to fall in on itself. It's a shame.

Heh. I was driving around town the other day and found out we had a "Fast and Furious Speed Shop" :D

As for classifying cars mods by race, well I'd rather not due that. Race issues are a little too sensitive and I'd rather keep this a lighthearted topic.

But...I do wanna know whats up with taking a beat to hell early 90's Olds 88, slapping on a set of 20" wheels adorned in the brightest chrome known to man, and then adding on those ridiculous chrome accents that go around the wheel wells. Talk about FUUUUUUGLY.

Yep, I have no clue what thats about... I know it's each to his own.... but man, some stuff is just honestly hard to dig down and understand how one could like it..even trying to put myself in another shoe's I still come to this huge mental block, of WTF am I doing to this car. ;)

hmm well people with honda civics could possibly have vtec engines, my friend owns a civic which he swapped out the engine with a type r engine with vtec...you never know until you pop the hood or race, some people either remove the model designation or just kinda leave it on there to make other people overconfident about what they are racing when in fact they do have a better engine than stock :)

yeah, ricers generally smell of cologne, have a clean-cut style, and don't make out with their sisters. I'd take the asian nautica/ralph lauren/ tommy hilfiger look over the incestuous, dirty, shot-gun peddling rednecks anyday.

<= to be taken lightly and jokingly so as not to offend the rednecks on this board =P

Ricer. Just last week, one came up and cut right in front of me on the highway and a second before I was about to lay on the horn,a cop did the same thing and pulled his ass over. He was trying to use me as a shield...I gave him a nice little honk and laughed at him while driving by. Maybe next time he should try to fly away from the cops,man those rear wings cracks me up.

<< The ricers are worse. Rednecks don't have the education to know better. >>




We have some wierd rednecks here. Its pretty sad.

Huge $30,000 $40,000 + SUVs and Trucks with 10 foot lift kits, huge lights on the top of the trucks, tons of Nascar and Calvin stickers, with about 40 pounds of mud on their tires cause they are too sorry to wash it off after "4 wheelin". And to top it off they dress like thugs and listen to Rap music.

Yes I live in a pretty $*%&ed up town...
