Some Of My Random Thoughts (Ricers)

I will start this one off with the age-old question of "What The ****!?":confused:

Why does everyone and their uncle feel the need to add "racing stripes" and fart cans to thier ****ty imported cars?

Is it because you want to look cool? Is it because you want to be different (just like everyone else:rolleyes: ), or is it because you are a jack-ass with no taste?

You know what they say, you cant polish a turd. You can rub it, spray it, wipe it and dress it all you want but at the end of the day it is still a turd... only a slightly modified turd.

So, your civic has a CAI, ECU chip, cat back exhaust... thats cool. What does it run in the quarter mile? A 15? a 14.5? wow... for a civic thats fast, but you know what? for half the price you dumped into that car I could design a sling shot that would launch a piece of dog **** down the quarter mile at 2X's the speed of yours and I would rather be caught holding that **** then driving your crappy car.

Why does having a fart can, a bad paint job, some stickers, and $15 intake make some people think they are a race car driver? Too many times while out cruising in the snake I have pulled up to a light only to have a doofus in a neon pull up and try racing me.

I actually had a kid in his moms Jetta pull up next to me at a light and have the nerve to say to me " What you got in there?" I look at him and say "Oh, about 460 hp, what you got?" and he is like "VR6 Baby!". Then he points to the light and tells me he wants to go. Light goes green he goes peeling away from the light and I just sit there shaking my head.

What the hell is with these people? Are they from planet ass-hole?

I will shut up here because I could go on for days about this one. Maybe a Pt' II thread will pop up someday.
 
No one wants to mess with me anymore. Not that I would waste the gas on them. But this topic has been beaten to death on this board in the past. At least they are keeping Pep Boys and Auto Zone in business. :)
 
Sum it up to bad taste and ignorance, the whole 'rice' thing.

I see nothing wrong with modifying a Civic, they can be quick, they're reliable, they handle well and most of all, they're affordable all around.
 
Yeah, I dont mind if they are fast. If they are full of crap, its just ridiculous. I know my car is FF and it has a wing (a factory wing, which is needed), but it isnt rice, since its fast (and its not flashy flashy). I havent made any exterior mods really...

You don't need a wing to start your engine. You need red bull!

The wing is to help keep the car stable at high speeds. And with a top speed of 153 mph, I need it. On the other hand, other FF's with those big ass wings arent needed. Alot of the time I see them angled enough for a rear wheel drive car. So if they get fast enough, it would make them lose traction on their drive wheels...
