ricer

1.Any FWD foreign or domestic vehicle that is made to look fast by installing accesories such as but not limited to: *aftermarket body kits *aftermarket spoilers (which do NOTHING for traction on a FWD vehicle) *oversized chrome exaust tips (a.k.a "fart cans/fart pipes/coffee cans") on an otherwise stock exaust pipe *neons or other aftermarket lighting *altezzas, or "clear tail lamp" lenses *grille replacements made up of chicken wire type mesh *painted calipers *multiple TV monitors *20 inch rims with very low profile "rubber band" tires *cut coils for a lowered look *stereo systems that have more power than the engine itself *fake nitrous bottles (or to the ricer crowd..."NAAAAWWWSSS") *and of course.....stickers of performance parts NOT ON THE CAR. (can you say "poser"?) 2. The truth is none of the above mods do ANYTHING to enhance the performance. As a matter of fact those who perform these so called "mods" have watched "The Fast And The Furious" too many times to be able to distinguish the difference between reality and a movie, thus they think if they make their cars look like the prop cars used in the movies they will be faster and look cooler. Out of interest, these idiots refer to themselves as "tuners" and not ricers. 3. The average person who owns or drives one of these vehicles is white, under 25, suffers from penis envy, wears his pants half hanging off his ass, walks with a fake limp and talks with ebonic slang. He probably works at Mc Donalds and races everything he sees but gets his ass handed to him 99% of the time. (Kias and Hyundais are exceptions) 4. Ricing your FWD car will not make it fast or cool, and is not a valid excuse for "I can't afford a real car"....V8 Camaros and Mustangs are still readily avaliable at a decent price. If not it's not a daunting task to do your own. If you want to be different you can always drop any 283-400 cubic inch small block Chevy V8 into an S-10 for one hell of a fast ride on the cheap. 5. The only real FWD cars that actually considered fast are the turbocharged cars like the SRT-4 or the WRX. Turbos are true power adders unlike all the fake gaudy crap mentioned above.
