Car therms

[pagani]

I think we need clear a few things up
So i think this wil help
First of is is term ricer in think in the uk they call them diffrent.
Any cheap car, especialy Asian, that has been "upgraded" with after-market parts(exaust, body kits, nitrous, spoilers, speakers, lights, etc...)in an attempt to make it faster and/or "pimpin".
In reality, instead of making a car better, "ricing it up" makes it utterly and completly gay. Rice cars are easily beaten in races by American and European sports cars. Also, anyone who owns a rice car is looked down upon and seen as shameful by non-ricers. Rice cars are typically driven by young lower and middle class Asians, Hispanics, whiteboys and even some African Americans.

Ricer car
An automobile, generally of import classification, that is souped up and characterized by use of stickers and decals that do not match any manufacturer of the car, spoilers that look like airplane landing gear, and hideous paintjobs.

Sleeper
Often reffering to what appears to be a ordinary looking stock commuter car that is anything but stock under the hood. Pretty much the exact opposite of your every day riced up civic.

My bone stock looking 1967 Volkswagen Beetle with a dual carbed, big bore and race head equiped engine gives quite the ego bashing when a ricer can't hold up to his own challenge at a light.

No just wanted to clear the therms because sometimes here they use the wrong therms.

Same can be said about the americans. RC's Z07 is a good example

Your wrong a fast car is fast car no matter what make it is.

Evo and WRX owners who grossly overestimate the performance of their cars can become ricers too, despite the fact that such cars are solid performers.

For instance, there was an annoying guy who thought he was untouchable with his new Evo IX and 4,000 dollars of turbo mods . . . OBNOXIOUS. Anyway, my cousin took him down repeatedly with that Camaro (425 rwhp) that he picked up for about 11k.

I'm not trying to offend any sensible Evo or WRX owners here. I'm just saying being unrealistic can be dangerous to one's own pride and safety. It seems like they unwrap an Evo from around a tree every two weeks in the various canyons around here (SoCal). Too much NFS Carbon?

You have two types of wrx and evo owners
1 the serious performance type owner who kowns what it's evo or wrx can do and can't do
2 the ricer who thinks it can destroy everything on road and track,
But the owner 2 is very common on other brands of cars.

That's very true. It's just that having a car with actual performance potential can make the ricer mentality even worse. So someone who would be mildly obnoxious with a . . . Scion could be incredibly annoying with an Evo.

can anyone open this page: www.laughatrice.com ?

i seemingly can't, but i owuld like to make sure if the site went down eventually. the page was dedicated to the funniest thing you could to to these stupid ricers, stand next to their cars point at them and laugh while having someone taking a picture of you.

they had a good 'definition' of rice in their forum too, which i would have liked to quote.

for me rice is everything that has got to do with stuff that is added to the car, that does not give you an extra power advantage. namely all the dumb rice body kits you can buy for you awesome FWD Corollas and Celicas and whatnot. also stupid ass wings that will not enhance your performance, because more mad tyte downforzzz on your rear wheels will give you more traction problems on your FWD car :roll:

well i oculd rant on and on... but i will leave it as it is just my 2cents

[79TA]

hmm, laughatrice seems to be down indeed. Here's one site that's been around for a while. The creator of the site tried to fight the ricers back when they were just starting to get really bad. The site apparently hasn't been updated since 2001. I guess he saw the effect that The Fast and the Furious had and just gave up.
