Are you a RICER?

Ricer [risse-urr] N.
[Ricer: from the Latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt]
A person who makes unnecessary modifications to their economy sedan (mostly import cars from Japan hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are
- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of aftermarket brand stickers they saw on cars in the Fast & Furious
- Ridiculous lights or paint jobs- why not make your car look like a Christmas tree?
Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, Mitsubishi Eclipses, Toyota Camrys, Corollas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that there are many high performance import cars as well that are designed to go fast that are often mislabeled as "rice". Such cars as Supras, Skylines, WRX', NSX, Evo IV, etc.. fall into this category. Unfortunately, in today's world cars like this still must be handled on a case-by-case basis.
The ricer attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or color, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles. (example: Mexican=mini trucks; African Americans=Escalades; etc..) These rice boys are also known to talk a lot of #### about their cars too. The best place to see a ricer is in his native habitat, any mall parking lot.

Goon I'm sorry to say this, but this is actually the first post I've ever seen from you that is actually funny while being truthful and entertaining all at once.
But anyways, I'm somewhere in the *** category with my Ford Ranger. Ive actually got plenty of mods on it.
No, actually its actually fixed up good in real life.

Im up to my eye balls in ricers, and what makes it even worse there are the guys who jack there trucks up and then skate board the wheels and then never touch the dirt. I cant stand it but that is the nature of people with to much time and money and no practicle place to use their equipment and not stantard compitition to rate the products they produce.

There is a mix of both extremes in Hawaii, it is funny on one hand but on the other it gets annoying seeing so much junk on the roads.

Lol, very intertaining Goon! I do know this syndrom that you are talking about. I live in Sacramento, and I see a bunch of those. I love the picture with the ironing board thingy on the trunk for a spoiler. That is hillarious. __________________________________________
