Funny things RICErs say (radically immature car enthusiasts)

[Harry6784]

I drive an Australian modern muscle car, because I need V8 grunt to overtake tourists in short straights, it has a small amount of mods just to slightly improve fuel economy and power, but nothing drastic,

The biggest issue in my area are tourists, they aren't car enthusiasts by any means, but they think they know everything, they buy the big off road machines like Range Rovers, Land Cruisers and Jeeps, machinery that I would almost die to have, and they have no idea on its capabilities, its frustrating and disheartening to see these big serious off roaders get around that barely see gravel, they buy them because of the huge price tag and the occasional leaves that happen to fall in the gutter, just outright disgusting

Same here. You get used to the grunt and torque of big motors. Almost got in an accident the other day driving my Corolla trying to merge lanes since that thing is utterly gutless.

I just have a problem with people driving cars just to make a statement. Be it lifted trucks that have never seen gravel or Ferrari's that have never been to a track. I hate it when I see hypercars at my local mall, most of them probably never broke 80mph. If you're not going to use a car in the way it was designed to be used, why buy it in the first place.

You just kind of answered it. For status purposes.

Some people just like the way something is wether or not they actually use it as intended. If that was the case, low mile classics would not exist.

Ha, yeah I know what you mean, on the street I live on there is in order from my house to the intersection at the end of the road,

Shelby cobra V8 replica, (never seen outside)
Ford escort panel van (only used on subway promo days)
'66 El Camino, (only seen outside when washed)
Range Rover Evoque, (never parked on grass)
Covette C6 convertable (never leaves the driveway)

I know of a few cars like that. Some are drivers and some aren't.

All these are road worthy and are road legal and running

That's just sad.

This is as dumb as saying anybody who likes fast cars, or anything out of the ordinary is a "massive 🤬." Some people (me included) just like the way a giant truck looks and feels, the same as people in muscle cars feel cool. By this same logic everyone should drive around in eco-friendly beige sedans to avoid looking like a "massive 🤬," because nobody should get enjoyment from using a car not as intended.

It's tiring to see this same old mall crawler/pavement princess argument reposted endlessly. So what if it doesn't see dirt and mud regularly? Pristine classics and track cars being parked in mall lots must make their owners look ridiculous as well, I assume.

Yeah, I agree. i went into a little bit of an angry rant mode. As long as its not overly lifted unlike the picture in my post, they are fine with me

 

[ImaRobot]

I dont see a problem with owning a nice car, and not trying to destroy it. Some people like to track their car, some people just want a nice car to drive around in.

I want to get a nice toy, but I'd most likely get something nice and keep it up regardless of what its "capable" of. Let them make their own decisions with their car. Having grown out of my boy racer stage that I was in when I got my first car, I'd probably not worry to much about performance anymore. If I can afford it, I'll get a car on the side that I can build.

 

[SonnyCrockett]

I agree with what was said above, but as I've always said, cars are meant to be driven.

I hate to see somebody restore a classic, and then just put it in their garage, or get it to car shows on a trailer.

When you dump literally thousands into a paint job, I'd be a little hesitant to drive it too...

I love people that buy fancy sports cars and baby them. They're the ones that are going to sell me the car in ten years for a fraction of the price that it cost new, and it'll still be perfectly fine.

True but babying a car and not using it for it's intended purpose are two different things. Driving an old Ferrari in rush hour traffic on a hot day is a great way to overheat the motor.

Not exactly something a ricer would say, but really nowhere else to put it. I mentioned to a coworker that I was looking at getting a manual car and all he said was "🤬 get with the times, everyone has an automatic"
Bruh. That's because 80% of people can't drive worth a crap.

Sorry but why do you say your name after each of your posts?

 

[Team THRT Drift]

A lot of users do that. Ask @Jump_Ace.

It's a signature.

I started to do it because I was paranoid (in the 90's) that someone may hack the site and get my login info, it was a way to A) know it was from me specifically as someone who hacks an account will likely not do it, nor spend the time to read that I do it and B) I call GTP home and I like to be in a first name basis with lots of guys (and gals!) on here 👍

Perfectly fine reasons, Jerome. Especially the first. must remember the 90s brought on the Y2K bug paranoia.

Oh a story.

Was reading a story on the Nismo LMP on the bus when someone asked if it was a Ferrari F1 car.

Wouldn't believe when I told them it was a Nissan LMP.

Ended saying "IT'S NOT A MICRA SO IT'S NOT A NISSAN"

Worst part? They work at a car dealers selling GTR R35s...

So, we've just had the police called on us for excessive engine revving,

All I'm tryng to do is teach my GF how to do a hill start in an empty car park built on the side of a hill,

The police turned up and asked for an explanation, all checks out (obviously) and we are left to do things as we were previously,

Then the stupid old person who called the police comes over and starts accusing us of having friends in high places etc, wtf???

 

[Cowboy]

I call em "pavement princess" trucks. A lifted truck that has probably never been more off road than a dirt parking lot, like this one. Their only purpose is to make the owner think they are cool, when in fact they are a massive 🤬

Not to be confused with a built off road truck, like this:

The ford actually looks nice. But that's my opinion.

 

[Dagger311]

That's cause the Ford isn't a bro truck. It's an off-roader/mudslinger. Built right.

Just cause Chevy is my favorite doesn't mean I don't enjoy a nice vehicle, no matter the brand.

I suppose I had better contribute somehow...

Language warning.





They're clearly jokes, but it was still funny.

I guess we are both a little old-fashioned.

That made me laugh, think about how stupid the avarage person is, and then try to imagine that more than 50% of those are even more stupid. Call me cynical but really...

Nice George Carlin reference there

Didn't know he said that, just heard it somewhere. I googled it and it seems the correct quote is "Think about how stupid the avarage person is, and then realize that half of 'em are stupider than that"

Gotta love that man
