Ricer?!?!?!

Since when are ADR wheels cheap?

Meh, it's old, who cares. I think alot of people are maturing into a post-Rice era. Alot of people were sucked into the racing scene by the Fast and the Furious, and did what they saw in the movie. But after a few years many of these people have done enough research to be pulled out of that 'ricer' mindset.

I think it's great that F&F pulled so many people into the scene, and now in its aftermath we *do* have alot of new competent racers.

very true

when i turned 16, i was always checking out nice cars, BMW, Benz, ect. After seeing some other cars (tuner cars) and how they were built, n there insane speed, i decided ta check out f&f. Its what got me into tuner cars, but not the rice mindset. I put alot of thought into it before doing anything, n realized, its kinda stupid ta have a lime green daily driver with a blitz body kit n blah blah blah.

i live in an area with probably the highest rice/fast car ratio in the world, the San Fernando Valley, aka 'The Valley'. let me tell you, every body has a civic and they all think they are fast. like dropped on stock rims and PLASTIC hubcaps. single gauge pod with an autometer fuel/air. so many gauges/lights they look like a UFO on the freeway at night. wings that would make the discovery channel jealous. i even saw an Si-R sticker on an eclipse. cars that sound like one of those "party 'roll-out-and-hit-you-in-the-eye' blower buzzer" things got thrown into a lawnmower on crack. also there are a lot of , i'll just call them 'unsavory', types that follow around loud and tricked-out looking cars back to whereever they go and jack the shit out of them. and what's real funny is the cops really target these cars now. a couple of kids just got killed at a local race spot [happens at least twice a year in the same spot, great place and is secluded, but shit happens] so the cops are really pissed now. and with new race laws that can get your shit SIEZED, not impounded, you think the trend would end and you would see a decline in the ever present 'rice', tward a more sleeper style, but you need to have a fast car to be a sleeper. i'm still on the t-25 and i smoke like 95% of the guy's i see at the light. i can be going to get cigg's and get into a race. kids just drive around and race people. it's like a friggin pastime around here. even if the other guy is in his mom's car. a guy in a focus tried to race me this weekend. don;t get me wrong, there are some fast cars out here. but most of them say things like BMW, AMG, Ferarri, ans Audi on the back, although i did get smoked by the most POS crx i ever seen [and it sounded like a rocket ship, not a lawn mower. i was messin with him cuz the exaust looked bigger than the car. turned out it really had a function!!!]. i take pride in my car. i paid cash for it and everything in it. i think that some mods i have are a bit ricey [indiglo gauges, a/f ratio gauge [just fillin a hole until i get the EGT], 7500k headlights and blue interior floor lights to name a few]. i don't care what anyone else thinks, it's my car and i'm having fun with it. in some peoples minds, 'any part installed that does not increase HP or push Torque higher up the RPM is rice'. or, if it has anything more than Kevin's [95gsxRacer] car it's rice. i want to get a light bar and a different wing like a GT-R and a Buddy Club 2 front bumper and sideskirts and a GT-R rear bumper. i think it looks solid. i also want to push over 400whp. i guess all i'm trying to say is this: if somebody calls you rice and it gets you heated, you might be a ricer.

I really dont care if anyone calls me a ricer, and if they want to race, bring them on cause i will probally lose , but you know what i dont care.

As for people that talk shit about everyone and their cars, and then their car is a POS to being with, well... they just need to die

I admit to being one of those people who started out as a ricer. I had a non turbo gs. I had a 300zx, and lost my license, so my need for speed had to be curbed. So I went all show, and no go. But since then, I sold the gs, and got a gst. It's nothing spectacular... yet. But I don't claim it to be.I just find it frustrating that everyone finds exterior modifications rice.

i'm saying if you get pissed off and all set-off if somebody calls you a ricer, you might just be one. it's not just a river in egypt [you know, de-nile]. the truth is that name calling is lame and if it hurts somebody that bad, it is probably their own shortfalls and self disapointment because they know that the GReddy sticker really didn't give them 10hp like they have been embelishing ever since they put the sticker on. and they really know that the wing on the back really just adds weight and looks shiny. so it's not somebody calling out 'ricer' that hurts. it's knowing that your ego is writing checks your ride can't cash.
