an idea for Ricer's?

ok, ive decided after seeing all these rice cars running around with their huge fart cans on the backend, which they call mufflers, id like to do them a favor and make bumper stickers that say

" if you think my muffler is big, you should see my anus"

i wont even charge them to install the high tech sticker, ill just put it on for them!

Thats a good idea, when you run up a batch send me some. They already have so many stickers that they would never know.

Better yet, translate that into Japanese, and make a huge decal, and you can sell it to them.

If it looks like a racey horsepower adding sticker, they'll be lined up at your door to get one and stick it across the hood and fender.

Your car has dual exhaust envy

My truck has 8 cylinders, can your car even count that high?

Do you like driving that wannabe weedeater?

Your car has the same characteristics as a highligter marker

Give me a sec, let me shift into neutral here...
Want to hear my "fartcan?" WARNING: Hearing protection Reqd.

I didn't know it was legal to drive a pile of (Expletive) around.

My rusty POS Datsun is more cherry than your ride...

Install a mirror on your tailgate with a caption that reads:
This is what I have to look at...sickening isn't it?

Ricer happens...

My son has a Mitsubishi (if I say ricer he will kill me) that has about a 3" tailpipe, exhaust pipe, and muffler. It sounds good on that car. Of course it might need a healthy exhaust with a 2.6L 16# turbo and an intercooler It will run rings around my truck and most of those ricer's except the ones with Kamikaze engines, and it is a daily driver, a 1986 Starion...

Actually it is a FUN little car. He likes it and it does look just plain BAD! It is unusual enough to be a real Chick magnet which is important for a 17 yr old. The car looks like a little Porsche or Lamborghini. Far different than ricers. 300hp also

There is a picture of one here at this site:

Starions are awesome! I think a ricer has to be front wheel drive. Personally, I love those, the old Toyota Celica Supra's, and the Datsun 510 wagons. I had an 81 Corolla SR-5 Hardtop a while back- rear drive, 5-speed, fun, fast little car. But you wouldn't catch me dead in a front drive one.

FWD was almost banned for safety reasons by the NHTSA just b4 Congress bailed out Chrysler then the process was swept under the rug... Congress did not want to look bad for demanding that Chrysler build FWD cars.

oh yeah, those park benches..... that they bolt to the trunk lids-

if i ever have one of them cut me off im gonna follow them home, and tie a rope to the park bench, with the other end fastened to a tree, then we'll see how aero-dynamic is car is when he takes off in the morning.

ive been told that those HUGE wings they put on the back of those little cars dont do any benifit UNTIL 200+ MPH.... so in the great state of Minnesota, whats the point? no spot in MN is straight enough to hit 200MPH on a street/highway, not to mention their tires will blow out at 160

BuiltToughF250, not to question your wisdom, but could you please explain how the tires would blow out at 160+, please? I am confused and would like to know how this works.

i think it has to do with centrifugal (sp?) force, ever seen a semi truck exploded apart? I think its something along those line.

Tires are assisgned a speed rating depending on what type of mph they can withstand for a given amout of time. Some high performance tires can hold up to higher speeds. The tires standard on most of these econocrapboxes with grapefruit shooter tailpipes and trunk mounted park bench's aren't rated to exceed certain speeds. Nor will most of these turds reach those speeds, especially with an aluminum parachute on the back that limits their factory top speed by several mph.

Here is a list of tire speed ratings:
