The Ricer Dilemma

So, I keep hearing people razing ricer's, and I understand that. But the first thing you have to understand is what depics a ricer.

1) They put stickers all of their cars
2) The put those really cheap "reactive" brand pipes on thier cars. - fart burners
3) They act like they own the road
4) They drive the snot out of thier cars.
5) They think because it's slow it handles well
6) They think that doing 15 in the quarter is fast

Now not all of those apply to every ricer, but most do.

I'm just sick and tired of seeing cavaliers, Sunfires and civics, with their Mc-fart burners and their neon lights.

However what doesn't make a ricer goes as follows:

1) People that drive their car and if they do anything to it, they make it look clean.
2) No a 300zx, 240Z, 240sx, Prelude, RX7, S2000, Supra etc., are not ricer cars. They can be made into one, but they are not
3) People that actually take the time to find out what performance exhaust works the best on their vehicle, and don't just use universal mufflers.
4) People that are not cheap and they spend alittle bit of money on something that will actually look good.
5)And most of all, people that understand how much power their car has and drive it accordingly - which means not ripping the crap out of it!

I hope this helps in educating you about ricers.

Oh one more thing. If a guy/girl has a car and they put performance parts on their car, it DOES NOT make it rice. You'll know a ricer when you see one -(purple paint jobs, huge orange decals, big alluminum wings that do nothing, coffee cans etc)

Frig this is long.

The Ricer Dilemma

This may be true..

Yes stickers and pipes that just don't need to be there..
I try never to race,
It waste gas and I am usely hauling something in my bed so I hate to damage something in there or have something bounce out on the road and cause an accident...I have seen it happen before...

Let them be ricers if they wish...
I'll be a farmer with a muddy truck that you can't tell what color it is...
If they work for their money and thats how they want to blow it, Fine by me, cause I ain't paying for it....
I prefer gravel roads anyway and I don't see any ricers on mine..lol

If someone wants to rice, then that's their deal. Doesn't bother me much.

The Ricer Dilemma

Yesterday, in Bowling Green, Kentucky, I saw THE Ricer. A strange looking smaller station wagon, with messy stickers, fancy chrome bits, and a coffee can exhaust. When he let rip fromt the lights, a strangled roar came out of the back end, and he crept away like a snail. He really thinks his car is great, and fast, he roared from every light, and unfortunately I could not get next to him to show him what noisy power really is.

The guy was in his late thirties, and looked like a stereotypical pimp.

ground efects
5" tachs

The Ricer Dilemma

If they want to blow their money and look like a bunch of idiots, let them, it's always something funny to laugh at. This little fad will be over in a few years when people realise that racing 4 cylinders isn't very exciting.

I understand what you're saying - I know you're talking street racing but I couldn't help remembering Indy and the little 4 cylinder Offeys making 1200 horsepower and beating V8's until rule changes took them out.

The Ricer Dilemma

Rice Rice Baby
to the tune of Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby


Yo Godzilla, kick it over again boyeee
Yo, VTEC, lets kick it,
Rice Rice Baby,
Rice Rice Baby...


Alright stop
Collaborate and listen
Rice is back with a brand new invention
Chopped springs,
Make me hug the road tightly
Coffee can exhaust tip, flowin loud nightly
Will it ever stop, yo, I don't know
Flip on my neon, and I glow
To the extreme my car looks like a candle
And the paint job looks like it was done by a vandal


Dance, I got a speaker that booms
This ain't a car, it's a rolling sound room
Deadly, listen to the melody
If it was louder, bet it'd be a felony
Love it or leave it, no gain that way
Type-R stickers say "I'll lose ya anyday"
If there was a problem, yo I'd solve it
Check out my rims while my front drive revolves it


Rice Rice Baby
Rice Rice Baby
Rice Rice Baby
Rice Rice Baby


Now my suspension is jumpin
My bumper drags the ground, but who cares I'm thumpin'
Quick to the point, to the point no fakin'
Cookin mopeds like a pound of bacon
Burnin 'em, cause I'm quick and nimble
Can't fase me, and my VTEC symbol
Line em up, my rides on the bottle
So I can run with the V8 throttle


Rollin' in my 2 point 0
It runs low 18's yo, that ain't slow
The girlies on stand by, won't even say "Hi"
Did ya stop?
No, I just flew by
Kept on, pursuing to the next block
I bust a left, and I'm headin to the next stop
The block was dead, yo, so I continued to A-1-A, Barrett Parkway


Girls looked hot wearing less than bikinis
Saw a few chumps drivin' stock Lamborghinis
Jealous, cause I'm out drivin' mine
Ready to race 'cuz my Nittos lookin fine
My exhaust buzzes, like a swarm of bees
Thats ok, sounds like performance to me

Burnouts ranged out like a bell
I looked to the side--
All I heard was tires
Burning on the concrete real fast
Hit the nitrous, slammed on the gas
Bumper to bumper that's the way I race
I'm trying to get around this smokin hatchback
Police on the scene
You know what I mean
They passed me up, confronted all the Mustangs

If there was a problem yo I'd solve it
Check out my rims while the front drive revolves it


Rice Rice Baby
Rice Rice Baby
Rice Rice Baby
Rice Rice Baby




Yo man, let's get a beer
Werd to your G-Tech
Rice Rice Baby, too low, too low
Rice Rice Baby, too low, too low

The Ricer Dilemma

Oddly enough, these little oriental putt-putts/grocery getters/coffins do serve one useful function. When I feel like going a bit over the speed limit (like 8-10 MPH, it's a normal practice on most streets in my area anyway) I utilize a police tactic called profiling. I look for the little golf cart with a beer can stretched around it and let him lead the way. When a cop happens to be doing radar, it's the grocery getter that takes the ticket. I've also found that even when they are behind me, the cop still goes for the coffin car. I find this to be very handy as it saves me hundreds of dollars annually.

I'm not exactly sure why the cops prefer kids in these itty-bitty coffin cars; it could be the 4" diameter piece of toilet pipe with sewage comming out the back, maybe it's the $5 worth of stickers plastered on it, on the other hand it could be the 8-track tape player that they all seem to have. However, maybe it's their cap that they are wearing backwards (makes em look like gang members). I do know one thing, and that is these little cars are very amusing to watch.
