Racing "Ricers"
It is kind of funny to find this thread on a truck forum. I spend more time on my porsche forums, and we have to put up with ricers a lot more than truck drivers, I would think.
It seems every kid with a fart can and huge wing thinks he has something to prove when they spot me in my car. I will not engage in street racing, because there's nothing in it for me. What, I'm going to brag to the guys at work that I smoked a prelude? Please.
I'm lucky. My membership in the PCA allows me access to tracks for driver's ed events. It costs a couple hundred bucks, but it satisfies my need for speed under controlled conditions. No cross traffic, no loose pets, no pedestrians, and no cops. If a kid in a Del Sol thinks his car is better than mine (for whatever reason), I really don't care.
There are times, though, when somebody rides my bumper too close for too long. It only takes a moment to show them the "Turbo" script on the back of my car is there for a reason.
Not all Jap cars are ricers, though. I have seen some very impressive Supras. It's a real shame Toyota quit producing it. I know a lot of people who are hoping the new 350Z will prod Toyota into reviving the Supra.
