Definition of a Ricer.............

Going around AF and reading all these threads and post and whatnot, I see that there are many mixed reviews and meanings on the term ricer. Well I feel that I will write-up what a true ricer is:

I feel that being a ricer is not the appearance of the car, but the attitude/mentality of the driver. For example: Everyone disses Honda's, but in reality their GREAT economical car that will be worth their money, also they have great resale. But as soon as the driver acts as if their civic is fast, then you know their a ricer. :loser:

Another great example is where I live (In SC). Alot, ALOT of kids down here have pick-up trucks, that they jack the fuck up like 24 inch lift kits, and huge mudding tires, but then you see that their truck is not even 4WD, thats ok and all, but as soon as they go mudding and they think thier the hit, then you know their a ricer. :loser:

But as for the cars that have the HUGE spoilers and crap like that, thats just pure BAD taste, but if they think that their car is fast, and act that way, then you know their a ricer. :loser:

Well thats all i have to say, hopefully you get my drift on ricer and all. :iceslolan

Also, where did the term ricer come from???

:2cents:

:headshake

Ricer comes from all those modded imports from japan with the body kits and all that flashy stuff until what it is today. I don't think there could be a true definition of ricer, because it's always changing. When the first Fast and the Furious movie came out, everyone loved how the cars looked, but now they look God awful. I think it's just the fact that the point of modifying your car, was to set your it apart from everyone else. Too bad everyone else has already done it. They just see "modified" cars all the time now and it's just not eye catching anymore.

On the other hand, if you put something on your car and you only put it on so you could make people think it's something it's not, then I suppose you could call them a ricer. Automotive posuer, if you will. ..but hey, hasn't this always been true? Companies have always slapped on badges on their cars to make it sound better than it really is.

I dunno about you guys, but the only rice I'm familliar with is the rice i eat with my chicken. Everything else is just preference, if someone wants to do something rice to their car, let them. Some people even do it to be funny, and come on, you know it makes you smile to see a civic with a football goalpost on the back :)

YEAHHHHHH! There we go! That was the word I was looking for!!! I just couldnt think of it before for some reason!! A POSER!! A POSER is wat a ricer is!

What ever car you have...You you pretend something that you are not, then you are a poser, know-a-days known as a RICER!
LOL :loser:

Shit I'm feelin some chicken fried rice right now, (with some hot-sauce) LOL :iceslolan

Waaay ahead of ya haha.

not another ricer thread..... :uhoh:

Well as I posted in another thread a while back, I mentioned the time that I put a huge APC Spoiler on the roof of my car just cause I paid practially nothing for it and I didn't want to have it just sitting around. So by putting it on the roof I thought it was funnier than hell and other people got a hell of a knee slapper to tell there friends. So by doing this everybody benefited, I knew I wasn't fast and sure as hell never acted like it but would I still classify as RICE? I wouldn't say so cause I did it for humor sake not for performance.

Ok, seriously... Didn't somebody give the perfect definition of a ricer about a month ago in one of these threads? They had like an entire page that they got from Cardomain or something...

These threads are becoming so repetitive and annoying. Whatever happen to threads with a point to them? Better yet, tell me what the point to THIS thread is...

Pretty sure the ricer term thread has run its course about 5 billion times by now. We all know what a ricer is and what it means to be one.

RICER=POSER thats all ther is to it. i have alot of respect for hondas... i kinda have to my brother has a 92 prelude my 2 best friends have civics and my cousin has a civic and they all have shit done to them. it all just depends on what kind of taste you have in cars. i personally am going to be buying a CRX in the begging of spring for a drag strip car. people do what they want if they want a fast car then they stick all there money into performance, if a person wants a show car then all there money goes into rims, hoods, decals etc. and if they want a fast nice looking car they take the time to pick shit out and make it look respectable and fast. thats just my 2 cents.

Once again i will have to use this famous quote in yet another one of these thread:
"Some people spend all their money making there car fast, and thats cool. Some people spend all their money making their car look good, and thats cool too. You know your a ricer when you spend all your money making your car "look fast" ie NOS stickers, wings with no purpose, Front Mount cold air intake, etc, etc, etc.

Ricer = a term used by people to put down others trying to do their own thing.

My Spyder's been called "rice". Why? Some don't like the dual exhaust. Some don't like the guages. Some don't like the hood. Some don't like the lip. The list is endless...

In the end, :gives: , just do your own thing. You can't make everyone happy at the same time, and "modding" your car is all about personal taste and opinion...just like anything else in life, not everyone's going to agree with what you put on your car.

spyder your car is just plain sexy.

I think this kill story paints a good picture of what most people consider a ricer.http://www.ricehatersclub.com/vbulletin/killstory.php?

Well said bro!!! Threads like this are a big waste of my time.... and one of a few reasons why I don't come on here near as much anymore....

See the ;) that means friendly sarcasm or just playing, no offense intended.

Hey guys, I think it's cool to take whatever you have and make it faster. If you want to change the looks, that's your business. However, when you use a satelite dish for a spoiler on your trunk, or your roof (as someone said they did in here) don't be supprised when we laugh at you...NOT with you. As you can guess I'm a Mustang guy, but I haven't had a Mustang for about a year now. Don't like sliding in the snow with my daughter in the back! I will get another in the summer but until then I am looking at adding more power to my 3.0 DOHC 24V Taurus. I know, I know, it's a Taurus, but if you guys can do it so can I. Besides it has 200hp and 200tq stock. But I am not and will not act as if it can beat a Mustang or Z28...etc...etc... Like I said, take whatever you have and make it faster, that's cool. Hell I'm doing it to a Taurus! Oh, and Spyder, your wheels are cool, and the hood is awesome, just wish the color matched the rest of the car. I know, I know, it's probably carbon fiber, but the car looks good.

holy hell.... this is old.. notice how this site is really a bunch of girls that know nothing and all they talk about is ricers.. if you notice everything right now that is a thread that is actually important has less than 4 replys... that actually say something.... and then this crap... this talks about peoples cars that you hate.... i know i trashed people with non turbo cars... but damn..... this "ricer crap" needs to have its own sub forum... make one where its like a lounge or something.. so when people just want to rant like i am right now... they can do it somewhere else, like that 96 spyder guy or whatever said he doesn't come to AF anymore because of pointless shit like this... stop wasteing other peoples time

I agree with MexRocket... This is bullshit, this is like the 4th NEW thread for this same topic this week. They are a waste of everybodys time. Personally, I don't give a shit if someone is a ricer or not anymore...

:gives:

Josh, MexRocket is right, we need a sub forum for these pointless ricer threads. Can you create one, or create a sticky for one of these threads so that we don't see a new one every other day?

Hey Blackcrow, I like the Talon. Have you taken it to the track? What do they run stock in the 1/4mile? My wife and I almost bought one back in 97 but I said no, went with ofcourse...the Mustang. It would be nice to drive a quick car in the winter though and not have to put it away until spring. I still have Ford blue going through my veins but, I hate to say this, I'm starting to open my mind a little.....Paying $2.50 for gas is helping me to do that I think.

I ran a 16.01 stock. Of course, I only had been driving standard for about a week when I did that. lol I haven't taken it back since then though. There were all these DSMers there laughing at my time and I was like screw this and left. I guess they are supposed to run mid to low 15's stock though. You should get a turbo DSM though, they are very fun to drive. They are faily cheap to mod also. You can do the intake, exhaust, and some free mods and probably dip into the 14's with some good driving. DSM's are definetly the way to go. Unless I ever decide to twin turbo a Trans Am... :evillol:

We have too many stickies as it is, and seeing "AM I A RICER" stickies at the top everyday when I come on here to find something other than exactly that, will make me want to not look at this forum again. :2cents:

*PLEASE* close the damn thread already. This is getting rediculous.

My god, i'm gone for the weekend for my sisters wedding and this is what i come back to...
