No one sees the racism in the term 'ricer'...? | ||

Those semis look like a family photo album from Optimus Prime's (Transformers) house. Too funny. :-) | ||

Pretty sure I saw a ricer today. In addition to the standard gauge cluster, he had 13 aftermarket gauges on either the dash or a-pillar. Guy was like late 30's early 40's, too. | ||

If your tailpipe has more displacement than your motor, you're a ricer. If you have more tailpipes than cylinders, you're a ricer. If you could tie a string to your car and fly it like a kite, you're a ricer. If your custom two tone paint job is because your body kit isn't painted, you're a ricer. If you only have one wiper, you're a ricer (certain Mercedes models excluded ) If your "performance" tires are 205's, you're a ricer. | ||

This can get to be a complex topic. Many moon ago, before political correctness and liability suits started stomping out all the "open track nights" (and local tracks), us young punks could take our Craftsman socket sets and screwdrivers and have at our straight six Chevys to see if we could trim some time off ... or at least make the front hop up more just before smoking all the tread off our tires. ;^) These days ... I looked at an A4 a couple of years back. Under the hood was _another_ plastic hood, bolted down, leaving only access to the dipstick and oil fill -- as if to say, "no user serviceable parts within". Given the complex relationship between ECUs, fuel injection, and three phase catalytic converters -- and laws in some areas against the owner fiddling with it at all -- it's probably not all that surprising that some younger folk turn their attention to cosmetics or entertainment accessories. In the modern car, "clueless" is a relative term. Tifosi of classic front engine V12 Ferraris would probably label the whole modern auto industry as "clueless". ;^) But when some dweeb in a $1000 Civic with a $3000 paint job and a $9000 stereo feels justified in trying to share a lane with a minding-his-own-business Ferrari, because he saw it in the movies, ... now _that's_ a ricer. ;^) | ||

Goofy lighting, stickers, loud "boom boom" car stereos, over sized wings, unpainted or poorly painted body kits. Like Hunter S. Thompson did with Hell Angels, I experienced the import craze with some Houston owners. I was welcomed into their tribe. After this experience, I have more respect for most of them. They're mostly just kids with a hobby. No harm in that as long as they don't drive like jackasses. http://www.ferrarichat.com/discus/messages/132929/262942.html?1055106070 | ||

Taek- Like hell I ever wanted to go back to school. But, you know how it goes: bad economy, no jobs = go back to school and get good job or say bye bye future Ferrari... | ||

Kenny, There must be a C) because I'm not good enough to be in grad school yet I'm doing everything else you are... And I'm definitely rice material! Cheers | ||

STICKERS! AKA the badges/stickers for the wrong part or system on your automobile. For example, a VTEC sticker on the back of a mustang (which I saw) or a V6 sticker on a 4 banger etc. | ||

there are 2 types... A) the type that drives a Civic with a big ass wing in the back, and obnoxously loud exhaust system with a big round muffler that scrapes the ground over every speed bump who thinks he is Joe rallye race car driver with his retrofitted single windshield wiper.. or me B) asian male sitting on my ass home from grad school being a couch potato gaining weight -) | ||
