2 Fast 2 Furious

First of all I hate ricers, seconded of all I hate ricers again.

I liked to movie "The Fast and The Furious" but common people why all the sudden a "Ricers movement Act?" I can't believe how many people just slap a coffee can on there vehicles and automatically think that the car is fast. It really makes me mad to see all the people in my city (which is a fair size) with all there little Civic, Sunfires, Talon's, Eclipses, or even a mid-size family car with a body kit just running around

The new movie "2 Fast 2 Furious" (which is the sequel to " Fast and The Furious")will be a big hit and very popular with the Ricer community. I saw a clip on the internet from the new movie and it looks like a good movie in all but, where does it come to the point where a this movie is actually brainwashing these people? when they see the blue flames shooting out of the dual exhaust on a 4 banger, or when they show in the new movie a Saleen Mustang getting run over by the last pair of wheels on the Semi-truck's trailer following a Silver Z06 vette crashing into the back of the
Saleen?

I can almost guarantee that all the ricers are going to gather at the movies at the first night of the showing. Then after the movie is over they will all pop the hoods and say " NO S**T youve got a twin JZ turbo" and then burn out!! LOL

Is there anybody else that has an opinion on this? ahhh... it makes me so mad just thinking of the evil ricers!!

I hate ricers, too. I especially hate the attitude that the kids have when they have a ricer. They think they own the road. It's so funny to watch them push the traffic, but when they get to me I won't budge for 'em when I'm in the truck.

I think the movie found a way to appeal to a generation that doesn't have a care in the world and capitalized off of it. I don't think anyone in the auto industry is complaining when they are selling their precious Hondas to teenagers.

And don't get me started on the stereo systems. Here's a note to everyone: invest in hearing aid companies in 5 to 10 years. I might just be able to retire early.

2 Fast 2 Furious

Our local paper ( www.knoxnews.com ) is running a series on the spending of Generation Y. Today it included two articles on "ricers", although they didn't use that term. It showed one car (a 95 Honda Accord) that a boy bought for $15k (his dad probably bought it) and then added $19k of parts!!! Evidently there are plenty of ricer-girls also. One admitted to averaging $200 per week on upgrades and mods to her car. There must be alot of parents with too much money and too little time.

Oh, I hate ricers.

heres the web site, if you want a good laugh!

http://www.thefastandthefurious.com/site/index.html


here you go and enjoy!

I can tell you that I'm 17 and none and I mean none of this crap appeals to me at all! I love my truck, but I would rather trade it in for a 98 Cobra and beat the crap out of all of those cars, (oops I mean ricers.)

what is pretty sad is that my dads 98 Silveraldo (5.7L 275hp) would kill those vehicles. and too top that off my moms 98 Deville (4.6 DOHC 32 valve 300hp) will abousolutly demolish most of those crap cars!!

Please use all ricer cars for RTI ramps, thank you. At least they're good for something

Yeah, nothing beats sitting at a light and hear the annoying buzz of a 4 cyl reving... only to be silenced by the sound of a real engine

79_250RangerLariat, I hear you on that one!!

ok, last friday the juinors/seniors got a half day for the prom and I had to go back later to pick up my brother and a friend.

When I was waiting for my brother I was parked in front of my school right behind all of the buses and this maroon caviler with rims and a muffler (excuse me coffee can) and tried to push me out of the way, I was like not freakin way!! so I moved up to close in the space and he looked at me with his evil eyes like get out of my way you @.s..s. so I moved up closer to the bus while laughing



then he relized not to mess with my TRUCK and ME

he then pulled up behind me and reved his puny 2.0 or whatever the literage of his engine was then I looked at him and reved mine to about 3500 and no more than that because I'm not a stupid retard. he got his A $$ shut down by my 5.8
god I love having a huge engine!

anyway, when my brother and a few other people came to my truck they just looked at this crap car and

they did say that my engine majorly overpowered his HAHHA

Heres another story for you all.

If I remember right I was at the main park where I live fishing with a few friends and my brother and this jet black neon goes slowly rolling by so I decided to ask him a few questions.

this car has huge Chrome rims, a body kit, lowered suspension, everything a ricer can have was on this car.

the question that I asked him was and this is an exact quote "whats the top speed of your car?" LOL

he responed with " ahh about 200 mph" LOL LOL

his girlfriend was in the car at the time and I just laughed and laughed somemore. and simply walked away.

But thats not the funny part either, here we go again!

when I got home I told my father what happend at the park and he just laughed. We then later had to go to my aunt house in Ohio to do some yard work, I spotted him on the highway, I then told my father to punch the gas he did and after a while we finally hit a stop light and who would have known but we were sitting right next to the newly named "about 200" . Instinctively my dad rolls his window down and shouts out the window "hey" he got his attention and he rolled his window down and sauid "what" with and attitude. my dad then shouted "I'll race you for pink slips right now." About 200 then said "naww man I can't beat you but let me get my vette and then well race" LO frekin loud hear!!


I think that I need to go to a ricer pychologist and get some help, anybody else in for a session?
I'm having major problems with rice!

When the original fast and furious came out, after the movie I just happened to be at the light with a civic ricer who was reving it up.

Now I couldn't just pass that oportuninty up right?

Too bad the poor guy droped Altenator from being over worked by his stereo....

That was his excuse for getting his tail whooped at the next light.

you know its bad whenever your subs hit a low note, your 1.somthing liter engine drops like 2000k b/c of the resistance from the stock altenator. haha, just say "it must suck to be you"

I hate those dang ricers so much, it just seems impractical, if you want power why would you buy a type of vehicle that has the smallest engine. If I was gonna build a mud runner I would not buy a Yugo. It just don't make sense. by the by I am 15, and very much love my truck

They are a different generation alright.

But they are the hot rodders of their time - no different than when some folks here slapped a V-8 into a bucket of a frame.

Ricers are fun and entertaining - I used to love smoking the ones (with body kits only!) off the line with a little metro (they have great pickup those little cars).

I am just glad the North American manufacturers figured out what was going on and realized they were going to lose future sales and have developed their own lines for 'souping up'. I.E. the Ford Focus.

They are kids having fun and playing with mechanical stuff - what's wrong with that?

Now last week was prom, so I went to get my tux in Boardman/youngstown, so I was happily content and stopped in Chik-fil-a so i was in my dads 98 taurus SE 3.0 vulcan. So i was coming down the highway, minding my own business when guess who gets all fresh, a ricer, it was a hopped up crapalier, by hopped up i mean stripes, park bench on the trunk, coffee can, and a SS package. Now i looked and thought to myself, Hmm cavalier ss, what is that Super stickers, so i pointed and laughed and he looked a little angry, so i looked took a bite of chicken while he was watching and droped the hammer. Needless to say his 2.2 ss 65-90mph time was like 10sec while the 3.0 vulcan 65-90mph is like 4sec. so at the exit he had a very shocked and confused look as he was trying to look under my car. I simply took a drink of my pop and waved. So if you want a family racer (not ricer) get a Taurus SE. so fun to screw with a ricer.
