Who gives a fuck, if your a ricer and your happy with it...

Its like being gay, for some its not a good thing, for other it is...your free to do whateva as long as you dont harm others.

all show, no go. dont disrespect someones car though, give them the respect they deserve for puttin time an money into it. not saying anyone is.

[Lychus]

a ricer is someone with a busted ass body kit, red paint job with green neons, gold interior and a wing that looks bigger than a jets. Someone who races someone, looses and when they pull up next to them at the next light its an old ass lady driving.

thats a pretty good definition. but i agree with mexSiR, if they are satisfied with being a ricer dont hate. ricer = APC racer :¬)

A "ricer" is a slang (perhaps derogatory) term for just about every asian made automobile. The term comes from "rice burner" which pokes fun at asian engines stating that they use rice for fuel instead of gasoline (most asian automobiles contain small, hi-rev 4-cyl, engines)

It doesn't really matter what modifications you have done to your asian born vehicle, it can still be labeled as a "ricer".

its awesome that there are a ton of guys out there that strive to have nice amazing cars (like most of the ones on this page), but when it comes to cars that just look broke? i cant deal with. the spoilers that weigh more then the car itself, seven different colored body panels, with stock rims (dont get me wrong stock is fine and all, but with all this money theyve dropped on this you would think they could get something). Broke cars = thumbs down, broke drivers i understand i am one.

Dude you missed the boat years ago..."ricer" has a whole different meaning now.

I define the term ricer as an indivual who doesn't understand the car terminology nor does he understand the reasoning behind specific parts. You know what REALLY irritates me? People who think a RICER is just someone who is ALL SHOW and NO GO. Well, when did someone with a flawless car become a ricer? Some people are so ignorant these days to think that because you see a civic with a body kit means the driver is a ricer. Don't get me wrong, but I first purchased my Integra in pieces and shits. Dinged trunk, baby blue in color, white front bumber..and so on and so forth. [If you're really interested, it was one of my first posts on the forums months or perhaps a year ago.] Needless to say, I am FAR from a ricer; I don't need to explain myself[in you must know, PM me]. So, in all honesty, I think a ricer is one who purchases parts for his car in an attempt to being a part of the bandwagon.

A quick side note to conclude this post it..to not underestimate a car or driver by the looks of the car as you may not always know what's behind the eyes. I use myself as a strong example.

Yes, ignorant people bother me.

This is true, when i first got my car and had a couple little mods on it I was at a redlight and pulled up beside some cute chick in an integra with a little body work so i revved my engine just a little to get her attention and she didnt do anything but smile back, light turned green, i gun it then i look to my right and hear WOOOOSH! and watch as her car goes flying past me....damn turbos
