Ricer of the Month

[Automobile Maniac]

Notice the sentence on the top of the window "See Ya". That fits perfectly. That is the car's way of saying goodbye to every car that races it as they fly past it because the dumbass owner obviously spent all of their money on stupid cosmetic mods and probably did nothing to the engine. It's definately not the worst I have seen but to do it to a 2nd gen. eclipse just isn't right. You know, it's probably a guy too, he should have just painted it pink while he was at it .

I really don't care. Hating on peoples cars is just as low being a ricer. Yes, its ugly but no need to go and start a thread about it...

[1g90gsx]

i respect peoples cars and there choices but ask yourself one question,would you drive it?

HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I seen worse. On my lunch break just now i seen a 3rd gen eclipse, painted BRIGHT green, blitz kit, and NOS stickers all over the place. He looked over at me, and I just busted laughing. Not even worth it.

well said spyderman, some go fast some go slow, some look good some look like shit, that is his car not yours. Dont hate on people who do what they want to do with their own vehicle

By the looks of the car, My guess is its a "Show Car" I mean if I had a car done up like that, I sure as hell wouldn't drive it. I seriously doubt someone actually commutes in that car. And who gives a shit if he hasn't done shit to the engine. Maybe "Speed" isn't important to him. If your not at a race track then why do you need extra performance?? And i'm so fucking sick of this "RICER" term. Seriously, what the fuck does "RICER" mean? I always thought it meant "someone who makes there car to look like something its not" For instance, If i took my 1992 GS, slapped couple of performance stickers, or maybe put a turbo logo somewhere on the car, Now I consider that rice. I mean your fucking lying to yourself. But, people are considering any car with a body kit, rims, lower'd, exhaust, maybe a wing (which I myself don't like), Custom head and tailights, all the cosmetic material,.. People are catagorizing that as rice. Thats not rice thats "CUSTOMIZING" I mean yea some people do put really ugly pointless shit on there cars, but thats them. Thats what they like. Don't go around labeling every car you see that has a body kit, rims, ect.. rice because they didn't add any performance shit. Not every is into "turbo's" and "superchargers". You got your "Tuners" and your "Customizers" Tuners are into performance, Customizers are more into looks.

i have custom headlights and taillights, but no one but those ignorant truck driving red-necks have called me a ricer. perofrmance wise all i have is a CAI and i'll be getting an exhaust soon which i WILL be keeping the silencer in. a ricer could best be described as someone who untastefully upgrades their car in ways auto performance enthusiasts hate.

Exactly.. There are tons of untasteful modified cars out there. But, what got to me was that red Eclipse at the top of this thread. Honestly thats a very well customized vehical. Somebody put some serious time into that car. Then you have someone like " Automobile Maniac" who goes out of his way to hate on the car because the guy may have not put any money into the engine. Now i'm not a fan of wings, but does that give me the right to say "Oh he's ricer" because I don't like big ass wings/spoilers?? If I see someone with Neon lights in there care, does that give me the right to call them a ricer because I think Neon lights are distasteful?? No, and thats what people are doing. Everyone has there opinion on what they like. I'm just so sick of this so called Ricer term. It's a really big insult to Auto Customizers. Its almost like someone calling you a racist name.

Dude that's a show car, not a ricer.

I think the true definition of a ricer is somsone who buys a car, bolts on a spoiler, and buys a pep boys package.

[Daeshara'cor]

automobile maniac.... you wrecked a '68 stang? wtf were you thinking?

[lostmypicks]

ok I will admite there have been time when I have looked at a show car and thought that looks cool.
but I am into preformace , when I get my tsi one of the first things that I plane on buying is a big 16g turbo. that will be sweet and a few other things. and then I will yes I will get a blitz body kit case I like them. you can be into perforamce and have a sweet looking car too. and if someone gives me crap then I will just kick there ass in a race case I will have mod that make me fast. and I will not be a RICER. because that is what I want to do so dont go saying that all of those cars are slow case some of them can most likely can haul some ass. so think of this next time you look at a car. but I agree that you can over do it. and body kits arnt that much if you go to like ebay or something.

[clipsekid99]

There is a huge difference people....

A ricer, for instance, would just have a POS car, put a bunch of dumbass things on like a huge wing, stickers, and other crap, and he would think that he could take on anyone on the road.

A person that would mod their car for looks, would actually be smart enough to realize that he doesn't have the performance to back his car up, and wouldn't be an idiot and try to race everyone he sees.

As for the car at the top of the thread..... thats a badass red paint job lol. I would prolly classify that as a SHOW CAR

[lostmypicks]

I agree

[scottsee]

i think that car is Bad Ass. i love that candy apple color from house of kolor. i dont like crome on wheels on a performance car. but its a show car like everyone said. i think its a nice looking eclipse!!!
