what makes a ricer into a ricer?

[jcsaleen]

Fully bodykit bone stock engine coffe can exhaust and a crazy paint job with vinyls and a tin foil spoiler.

[Jet-Lee]

I've seen a spoiler mounted backwards and upside down, I swear it. I was confused at first glance, cause it looked like the spoiler was angled to pick up the back and at speed, then it hit me, It's backwards and upside down! I almost fell to the ground laughing, cuz he was parked right next to me. He didn't even have coffee-can exhaust, vinyls, or body-kit, just an upside down backwards spoiler.

You mean the FRONT body kit was on the BACK of the car?

[Jet-Lee]

no, the spoiler on his trunk. He had it backwards, could tell by the shape of it. Then he also had it mounted upside down, at a ridiculous angle that would cause so much LIFT, I bet the back of the car flies down the highway while the front wheels are pulling it. Guess it might give you better mileage.

-After losing a race, the nicest thing you can think to do is give the other driver the finger.
-You own 2 copies of F&F and F&F2.
-You tan by the glow of your neon lights.
-You masterbate to F&F
-Your bald street tires are now "racing slicks".
-You think winning a street race makes the other guys girlfriend want you. God i hate that one so much.
-90% of the performance parts on your car are imaginary.
-Intakes add 25HP, exhaust adds 20HP, your HP numbers are rival that of a SVT Cobra, and you can beat SVT cobras. . .

Depends on what you consider out of your league I guess here in the states theres not that much distinction. But in Japan Ive seen a 240 take an s15 and also a r33 and still beat them even though he had less hp.

Im pretty sure intakes dont add 25 hp lol if tat were so they would be sold out. Bald street tire lol. 90% of the parts are imaginary though it is weight saveing lol.

I thought the word "ricer" was a derivative of rice burner - Japanese engines, particularly 4 cylinders. In this case, it indirectly and inoffensively implies a trait of a culture - Japanese people often eat rice with their meals. Hence, it would imply that rice eaters produce ricer burners, etc. I could be wrong, but that was impression I got. Also a similar slang term is given for Japanese sportbikes - rice rockets. So someone who butchers their Japanese car into a hideous, superficial toy would fit the description of ricer. Now of course this definition made its way into American cars as well.

[jcsaleen]

For some reason I think will be seeing alot more ricers in the future all those people aho have american muscle are gonna get screwd jus cuz of the gas prices.

[-Josh-]

I'm not worried about gas prices, i'll just have to cut back on certain expenses.... Like my girlfriend, movies, and games.

[driftu]

i always the definition of ricer was. taking a car you are ashamed to be seen in and making so people can't help but notice it.

[KustmAce]

I have blue neons in my car for shows

My new tach (I didnt have on from the factory)is from Pepboys.

And I have APC headlight bulbs.

Am I a ricer?
