Thumbs down The life a ricer...

Yep, it's like what 1969Mach1 and KG88GT were saying.

Look at the age of the average ricer. Then look at how much they really know about cars. Then look at how much they actually work on their own cars. Then look at how many of them actually BOUGHT their own cars or even OWN their own cars. You'll see a trend that they are young and clueless.

At the young ricer age, they work at jobs earning minimum wage, can't wait to "fix up" their cars with a "quick" fix without consideration of what the heck a true sports/muscle car is, and just have enough money to buy stupid, worthless trinkets and doodads for their cars: A shiny, $20 3" diameter exhaust tip, cheap stickers, cut their springs, window tint, cheap Auto Zone neon lights, fog lights, seat belt pads, window banners, etc. They play Gran Tourismo (which is one of the best games in the world, BTW) but forget it is a game and that it actually takes a great amount of money to make almost any economy car quick/fast (and I mean at least 13.5 or faster in the 1/4).

They hang around older ricers who previously walked the same shameful path who influence the young ricers and affirm the ricology in the minds of the young ricers. Then when the young ricers get better jobs that pay more, a driver's license, their own car, or whatever, they go for the major ricities: ricer rims, gigantic spoilers/wings (jungle gyms), outrageous paints schemes, outrageous ground effects, etc-- things they assume (or have been told by the elder ricers) would make their car Faaaaasssst. By the time they figure this out, their minds are so currupted by the ricers gone b4 them-- the ricer elders-- that the sad, dispicable trend continues. They are assured in their own minds that all HOndas are Fast and Furious and all domestics are old news.

Seldom can you reason with a ricer; his mind has been bleached void of all reason and his lack of wisdom is a chain about his neck and shackles about his feet. We can only hope to guide the minds of young ricers towards the realm of the true muscle/sports car way b4 it is too late and he has crossed into elder ricership, for at that point, there is no recourse.... Or we could just keep smokin them, from stoplight to stoplight, day by day, until the scales from their eyes are melted away, giving way to the precious light of true Muscle car ideology.
