I'm the exact opposite. When I run into stupid car guys I really don't find a problem with them. If they make a mistake (Audi A4 can beat 911 RSR... bahahaha! Probably thought they heard GT3 or were just ignorant enough to not recognize the fact that the car in the reference was a GT2 class vehicle.) or even say something completely ridiculous (It's a 2000 Mustang GT-R Special edition, turbocharged rotary with headers) and I correct them they seem to sheepishly admit they are wrong (just as I do) or if nothing comes from the first attempt at correcting them I try to laugh it off. I try to talk about cars (along with sports, and other pretty generic topics) just because I despise when I have to talk to people with different opinions then mine on current events or politics because I am the "ricer" when it comes to that stuff, lol. Err, I mean, because people who aren't me are idiots.
Bottom line for me, an hour spent talking to the least intelligent car guy of all time is immeasurably better than talking to someone you agree with politically or on current events.

Could you type that in English for the rest of us, since we are obviously too stupid to understand your first language?

Oh, stewardess! I speak jive...
"I contend that the Mustang GT-R with the turbocharged rotary engine really exists. My friend once saw such a vehicle doing 200 MPH. Only 2 of these cars have been made, and they are much better than your precious Ferrari.

Man, if you were sitting next to me, You most likely regret what you said.
Not all "car guys" are like that. Take a member (sorry for calling you out) by the name of YSSMAN, he is very knowledgeable about cars (making him a car guy) and hes not in the least "cocky". Hes like CNN when it comes to cars, he lets you know all of the facts and lets you decide IN YOUR OWN OPINION what the better of the 2/3/4 ect. is. So if some ricer guy/gal is really starting to tick you off, just shove some good old information down on them and that'll shut them up, for a few minutes,
Look, all im saying is people who like cars are passionate for what we love and believe in and will do anything to prove it.

I recently spoke to a 'ricer'. Towards the end I asked him what he'd prefer to own (money no object). A lightly modded Ferrari F430, a lightly modded Toyota Supra Twin-Turbo, a lightly modded Dodge Viper or a fully modded Peugeot 106. Try and guess what he said....
Also, I was speaking to him a month or so before, and he said that as soon as he passes his test, he's going to get a Vauxhall/Opel Corsa and get his mate to make two turbo's for it and put a 'phat' sound system in it. I immediately said ''It'll never work because how are the turbo's going to produce any power if they're not attached to anything'', he replied ''They're gonna be 🤬 attached to the engine you thick 🤬!!''. Five minutes later I asked him how he will be able to afford to insure it, he said ''Who says you gotta have insurance?'', I replied ''The goverment'', he then said "🤬 'em!''. I then thought that he was a bit of an idiot and decided not to talk to him.

Umm, what? Ford and Mazda are the same thing. For the last time, there is no such thing as a 200mph rotary powered mustang gtr OR Santa Claus.

There are a few rotary powered Mustangs, but there is no such thing as a factory rotary powered Mustang. They are all custom jobs, the guy in that video reckoned he had a rotary powered Mustang with headers, he basically new dick about cars, but he was just agreeing with what the guy with the camera was saying. Besides, anyone who puts a rotary into a Mustang is a fool imo, your just putting in an engine hat's less econimic, more expensive to repair and less reliable. It's not like you can't get a lot of power from a Mustang's V8 if you want to.
Can you please make better posts in the future though. As for a rotary powered Mustang being better than a Ferrari, I'd love to know which Ferrari and why it's better. Putting a rotary engine in a Mustang is stupid.

My parents friends have a kid who is building a early model ford probe (whichever one came turbo). Anyways, he has bondoed almost the entire car, all the body panels are bondoed togeather along with the side windows and all but a small part of the rear glass on the hatch. Amazingly he just went over ALL of it, windows, you name it, just bondoed right on top of it. The front bumper he made from foam and fibreglass and looks like the typical blitz bumper, but thicker and more warped looking. The headlights are gone, flip ups bondoed over and motorcycle headlights put behind the grill. His hood is a double cowl, which was built by putting bondo ontop of the foam, then layering fibreglass overtop of that then actually cutting holes out through the bottom so that air can flow out. The rear taillights are bondoed over, so he put some weird looking clear corner lights(about two inches in diameter) in a row across the lower rear bumper, which is extended down to within an inch of the ground. I asked him about his exaust, and hes going to "run no exhaust, it sounds better that way."
So far his claims are that his car will make it too 200mph when he is done working on it, though, there are NO engine upgrades spoken of and when I did mention it, he just said his car is already a beast, and that the gutted interior drops him alot of weight.
Unfortunatley he also bondoed almost the whole interior after he gutted it, there is a two inch thick wall of bondo inside the back of that car where he put in two "custom" (bondoed) over sub inclosures with two 10" subs. He has two ebay racing seats, both unbolted because he says he has to get the right rails for them.
The only thing this guy didnt bondo over is his windshield and gas cap(shame).
My parents are really good friends with his parents and I felt really bad the few times Ive told him what he is doing is incorrect (to put it lightly). But he gets visibly upset...
So basically Ive been sending him emails with links to information about cars, turbos and etc. just hoping he will start to learn.
Sorry that was really long, but I figured it fit the thread, not trying to thread jack, just sharing my own experiences.

Repeat after me, BODY FILLER. Bondo is just a brand, and the worst one (literally) at that. It really bugs me when people say that. You don't say "I Nissaned" when you drive a Nissan, or "I Coked" when you drink some Coke, or "I Motorolad" when you use your phone. Sorry, but I just had to point that out, it's one of my "pet peeves"
I have to disagree. That was true like 2-3 years ago, when FnF just came out. If you ever heard the phrase "JDM is the new rice" I am sad to admit, it is true. Now what all the ricers do is get eg-civics or integras, get some "JDM tyte" wheels (usually replicas from ROTA) and get a carbon fiber hood, and a "mugen style" lip. The cars aren't as bad now, but the people are still ricers. We even have a guy here that converted his civic to right hand drive and screwed up the piping on his exhaust, just so he could get that diagonal "JDM" fart can.neocrox

Great comeback eh?
But seriously, I'm taking a collision repair class at school, and its getting to be very annoying. Everyone is always saying stuff like "Yea, I'll just slap some bondo on there."

post with bad grammar was a joke... making fun of some idiot who bought a 5$ GTR badge at advance auto and doesn't know what a rotary engine is. ford and Mazda are not the same thing, though they are getting pretty darn close now, the joke was to say that that gentleman had a factory "special edition" with a "rotary" engine when their cousin Mazda is the rotary specialist these days. what exactly do you mean when you say Santa Claus isn't real??? 
EDIT: the above is ironic considering that there was a concept at SEMA (i think it was SEMA) called the mustang GTR based on the new mustang and there were some very angry Nissan fans

Because its a genericized trademark, would you rather say "Band Aid" or latex adhesive bandage? What about "Bubble Wrap" without it being genericized we would be saying transparent pliable air filled plastic hemispheres.

Band Aid is a brand, but you can put on a band aid, as you can put Bondo on a car, but it's not bondoing. It is not a verb.Because its a genericized trademark, would you rather say "Band Aid" or latex adhesive bandage?

But the orange GTR didn't have anything to do with Ford, itself.
BTW, when you look at it, Mazda and Ford do share a lot in common.

yeah i know, i don't think Ford would have made the mistake of fixing a very similar GTR label to their pony car(wasn't the R even red as on a certain AWD superhero from the land of the rising sun?) , even if GTR is not a copyright of Nissan it is probably the most sacred non-racing use of those three letters, it would be like if Mitsubishi brought the GTO here without changing the name. i know a few people who would have been quite upset. as far as Ford and Mazda go, i agree with you they share much in common (Ford does after all part own Mazda) but its mostly engine and platform sharing these days rather than outright re badging. i wouldn't go far as to say they are the same thing though, and im sure my cousin would agree (hes a bit biased though)

Are you kidding? That was fantastic.
I hope more people post their stories. Ha! Priceless....
The cars in this thread are considered "rice." Those who drive them are called "ricers." The term is derogatory and refers to the food item, due to its connection with asia and the fact that many "riced-out" cars are of Japanese or Korean origin. "Rice-burner" is another term for the cars.
To qualify as "rice," a car must basically meet the criteria of that thread -- huge wings, ugly bodykits, chromed-up taillights, anything that would be considered..."questionable." It can be one single item on the car (a loud, annoying muffler and nothing else), or almost every part of the car. Anything that gives it that quality that makes anyone with a sense of taste and a sense of humor bust out laughing when they see it.

In technical reason-
"An automobile that has been modified to give impression of high performance, but does not necessarily have any high-performance capabilities. In other words, a car that has been exposed to modifications that provide no added performance, (Hence the common occurence of 'questionable modifications')"
In contrast to this practice, a "stealth" or "sleeper" style (sleepers) of automotive modification is where a vehicle may have "major performance modifications, but the appearance remains similar to that of a stock model".

I understand now, here in Belgium, we call those guys with such cars "Johnnies".
But what about cars wit professional styling kits?? Like the Ferrari 599GTB Hamann in this forum??? An Asian car with such styling kits, is that also suppose to be a ricer or do ricers all the work themselfs which makes their car laughable.GT Pro
Here in Belgium a Johnny (=ricer) is also somebody with loud music in his car. There is a big difference though, Johnnies can have what ever car they want, not only Asian.
