Funny things RICErs say (radically immature car enthusiasts)

[Azure Flare]

Doesn't stop the average Prius driver from being an asshole about it.

It's like the exchange goes:

Prius driver: I get 60+ MPG, what does your car get?

Supercar driver: It get's me laid.

Carbon dioxide is just tree food


Your average poorly tuned Civic is worse; carbon monoxide. Your average shipment from China, to Canada, and then to Germany and finally Japan is what really destroys the atmosphere.


A road sign I saw on my trip to Québec said "help reduce smog; have your engine tuned," which is true. Buying new spark plugs alone is a great step toward the green environment we want. That Ferrari probably has newer spark plugs than that poorly maintained Prius.

 

[Harry6784]

There's actually a lot of truth to that; the Prius is being driven much more that the Ferrari so theoretically it's releasing more carbon.

It's not just the driving aspect, but the manufacturing process also.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Was just about to quote Jeremy Clarkson's argument against the Prius.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

The weird sort-of meta-round-aboutness of a Doug video being posted here...

that poorly maintained Prius.

I must've missed that part.

...

I believe it was Durheimer from Bentley that made a comment a few years ago at an autoshow that follows a similar concept to the one in this thread; that their entire fleet in a year probably produces less CO2 than the Corollas built in a year, especially when you factor in projected mileage. That being said, that's a lousy argument to use to not continue improving engine efficiency, or to suggest that; the 458's engine is a 4.5L making a frankly incredible 560bhp while pumping out 307 g/km, compared to the F430's 4.3L, 480bhp managing 345 g/km, or - as seen in DeMuro's video - a 360's 3.6L hitting 400bhp and spitting out 415 g/km. A 25% improvement in CO2, with nearly a litre of extra displacement and 160bhp more, in only a decade? I'd say that's progress.

Same here.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Trees breathe CO2. If you are worried about CO2, plant trees. Give new life, while destroying CO2, and giving us oxygen.


Win-win.

Third gear trouble


"Yo my car revved to 10,000RPM.... ONCE"

Then the engine exploded

The guy with the civic that wanted my help was 16-17 (I really don't know him that well, but he's a Junior in the school I graduated in and yes, his parents brought his car. I know this because I know his sister.) and his gang consists of people of... I suppose in a range of 16-21 year old dudes. I myself am 18, and when I saw guys older than me doing that to my cars, I was honestly really disappointed in them.

Wow. What a way to show that your car is better. Keying totally proves that their car is better. When I wanted a car parents made me buy my own. And do my own insurance. If you can't beat someone in a race. Just accept it and shrug it off. Not the end of the world

Except the Aztec.
Nobody likes the Aztec.
Or that one Fiat

I don't think my acura legend has fanboys. "1992" or if it does I haven't met any.

I knew I could get my car to 200hp! Yay.

My "1992 Acura Legend" has 205hp.

hahahahah

My 92 Acura legend 4dr will dust this guy

 

[JMoney]

The only truthful part of that video was the radar detector.

Use the multi quote feature as it's easier and mods tend to dislike double-posting. You've gone above and beyond this, it seems. Also, that video is a joke; a satirical example of what RICErs say.

Do you by chance have a 1992 Acura Legend?

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

1st of all, like what Team THRT Drift has said; the guy in the video is using satire. 2nd, no, it would not dust his 370Z.

Dude... You didn't just double post, triple post, or quadruple post, but you also quintuple(?) post....

 

[Team THRT Drift]

"That's enough! We end this now!"

"Meet me at the strip by 9!"

"Dude I can't do 9. I have my curfew at 9"

Does this class as a RICEr? You tell me

A new school year means new year 7s. So... Yeah. Here goes.

Because I'm in year 13, I get to wear my own clothes, and because of that, I generally wear t shirts with cars on them and it normally attracts a little attention but not much. It really only gets noticed off Car guys or something.

Anyway, I was doodling away at my notebook, and was drawing a cartoon style post nuclear war car thing when a year 7 came up to me and sat on the seat.

And sat watching me for 10 minutes, more than uncomfortable...

Then it began.

"My cousin has a Honda Civic."
"A Type-R?"
"I think so."
"Does it have Type-R badges om the sides?"
"Oh, no. Think its diesel. You know the Eden bridge? (look it up if you like, Eden Bridge in Carlisle)"
"Yeah."
"He once did 100mph up it and got air over the hill."
"Right... So in about 200 yards, your cousin's Civic got to 100 and then got air on a long 9 degree change in angle?"
"Yeah."
"Who told you this?"
"Him."
"Right... Does he also tell you his car was co developed with Red Bull Racing?"
"No. It's true I swear."
"Yeah... And I'm Ayrton Senna..."

At this point he started listing "mods" that his cousin's civic had. The list (or what I bothered to remember)

• Carbon fibre bonnet ("He got it for £100 off eBay." "Carbon... EFFECT." "no, it looks real")
• All weather Pirellis (As opposed to the ones which melt in the rain, right?)
• Tinted windows
• New air filter
• New rims. £170 off eBay
• Took back seats out to save weight

Guess how many of these mods would mean acceleration like a supercar? That's right. None.

But apparently, I'm lying and I have no knowledge about cars. Even when he proclaimed Lewis Hamilton as the best driver ever.

I fear for the younger ones of my generation.

 

[Dan]

I do too.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

He's young. He's learning.

 

[R5]

He's young. He's learning.

He's old enough to not be so naive

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

He's old enough to not be so naive

At 11? Kids are still naive at that age.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

True, I was very gullible for instance when I was 11. I also use to think that Automatics were better than Manuals simply because they were easily to use. I had a friend that would argue otherwise and I would still stay behind my argument, I use to even say that when I grew up and had a car that's stick shift; I would try to convert it to Automatic (probably one of the silliest things I ever said).

Of course though, I don't think that way now.

 

[guywithanAE86]

IT HAPPENED AGAIN.

After my college classes, I'm going home in the Corolla(this is less common now, as I just bought a new daily driver I'll post later) and out of literally nowhere this dude rolls up in a BMW 3 series or something. It had a wide bodykit that I swear was cardboard and it had M badges on the fenders. It starts off friendly enough:
"Hey, nice car. It's clean too, I gotta respect the stock ones."
"Hey, thanks. I like this car a lot so I do what I can to take care of it."
"It's probably still slow as hell."
I just go with it.
"Yeah, these aren't fast, but that's not why I stuck with this car."
"I bet. A buddy had one of those and they can't even drift. Not like this."
"I didn't buy this car for drifting. Drifting's more or less a bonus with an 8-6. You may be going faster than me, but I'll be having more fun."
"That's what all the losers say."
Then he tried taking off with wheel spin, and when he took off I heard the funniest shriek from a guy I've heard in years. After that, two cool dudes in an Impreza WRX and some Mercedes said not to worry about that guy, and they said they liked my car too.

It's kinda odd how those are the only gearheads I've met so far in my year of being in college. Oh well, it was nice

 

[Legro]

"That's what all the losers say." This phrase has never been said by a winner.

 

[Harry6784]

Love guys that put M badges on a non-M car, especially when it's painfully obvious it's not a M car. My uncle actually has M badges... on his 740i. I always give him crap about it

 

[R5]

At 11? Kids are still naive at that age.

Yeah.

I forgot how old year 7s actually are... It's been too long... Like 6 years...

Fast forwarding 6 years... To my current year

A guy from my form was telling his friends about his car drifting a roundabout, he told them how he wrestled with the steering and pushed beyond the tyres grip

I mean yeah, an old Fiesta's tyres dont have much grip but they're not M3-like drifters...

There's a car club in my college. I WAS in it, and kinda was meh about the whole club, until this happened.

So one day a couple of the members were looking at my bone stock Mazda6 (was a new 2015, don't really want to mess with those for the time being), and when I asked what was going on, one of the guys (Drives a super low, hellaflush Civic (mind you, this is the leader)) gave me a question.

"Ay yo man, why ain't you lowering this whip, man? Could look super sexy man!"

My answer:

"Severly lowering the car hinders handling and will take out my bumpers and worse, the oil pan. I really don't want that."

After each heard my answer to the question, the flames ignite.

Pointless banter occured, and amidst the ranting, the most memorable line that caught my ears was:

"Driving a stock car doesn't improve your driving experience on the road, man! Learn to take some hellaflush skills!"

What are "hellaflush skills"?

All I could respond with was "I'm sorry?" And he retorts with a "Race me bro! One on one, yo! If you walk away man, n****a you be a p***y!"

I drove off, for a good reason.

Like I would race in a speedtrap-infested area. Not risking that for a ticket.

 

[Imari]

He's old enough to not be so naive

Whatever age you are, in ten years you will be cringing at some of the awful things you did or said now.

It's just how it works, whenever you think you have your 🤬 together, it turns out that there's a whole world of other stuff for you to be ignorant and wrong about. It's great.

You've got a huge amount of restraint if you can walk away from that without decking that douchebag in the face.

What excuse does he give for leaving it on?
