Thumbs down how 2 ruin a car

i know there was a post about american muscle cars being turned into ricers. well guess what i saw today. i was in the walmart parking lot and saw a bright yellow mustang convt. fake hood scoop, a wing that stood above the soft top, 15 inch OZ racing rims, with low pros wrapped around them. body kit, but he didnt lower it so the rims looked goofy as **** on it, and from behind you could see how narrow they were. stuck in a good 2 inches inside the fender well. not to mention they were 4 bolt hubs. anyways, the guy went with a purple "cuda" stripe down the side, except smaller, and alot uglier. also carbon fiber tailights, rice cannon mufflers. what a waste

Best way to ruin a car that I know of is to give it to my ex son in law.....I swear that guy could mess up an anvil.

HAHAHAH!!!!

I rag on ricer kids bad, so if i was there, I'd wait for him to come outside and have a fun time with him!

I probobly saw the queerest thing this past weekend...a riced out honda element. ugliest thing I've ever seen. The car alone is dumb looking, but that just finished it off. The guy that owned it was sitting infront of it eating food...

I've seen riced out american muscle and it upsets me too. makes me hate imports even more.

He didn't say what model Mustang it was, hopefully it was one of those gruesome ones from the 80s.

The lower 2 yellow cars on this page have to be the most hideous things on wheels.

Both of those, the Element, and the Mustang, the owners deserve a beating. lol, seriously, I would have pointed and laughed. I know it's not mature, but come on, your asking for it when you parade around like hot stuff in a riced out vehicle.

actually, after reading the laughatrice.com description of what a ricer is, i realized that i not only drive a ricer, but i drive 2 of them!!!
they describe rice as anything added to a vehicle that has absoloutly no benifit to the opperation of said vehicle, or stickers, with no product to go with the sticker.
now for my explaination.

on my 88 superduty diesel 4X4, i have a lund racerback. it does nothing but look good, so its rice.
on my 99 P71 crown vic, i have a N.J. State Police sticker on the windshield, and there is not a trooper in the car to go with it, so that is rice also.

I was working on a 2003 mustang today. Guy had 20" wheels with tires that could not have had more than 1" or 2 of sidewall. All kinds of other ghetto accessories on it too, really ruined it. I'm gonna have to sit REAL low in the seat when I test drive it when I finish; I couldn't bear to be seen in it.

That's a good one, I'm stealing that line!

Remember those older Celicas that had tail lights that looked like Mustang ones? I'm suprised nobody has ever tried to fit a Mustang II front clip on one of those...

Then again, they may have for all I know.

I think the funniest think is these guys do this to try and make em like the pro's, however I have been to the Frankfurt Auto show and seen the real cars. Guess what they had a 2" exhaust on Fiats rally car. Can any of these ricers beat that???

NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Thats all I have to say about that
