Take a second, and check out the Rice Haters Club (link in my signature). 80+ members are loyal MW members, too, and what you'll find there pretty much sums up what has been the general consensus.
Take care, ~Chris

i've seen several examples of people here call someone or something a "ricer" that doesn't fall within the board's consensus definition of "ricer"..........
so i'll suggest this definition: ricer - someone you don't like

in short, i am saying there is no point to even defining the term "ricer" because people arent' going to stick to their definition.

this is not cbring-
This question often ends up creating an ugly thread, which is another reason we took RHC off of here. We don't want Dan to have to keep dealing with threads like this, when all they (the author) have to do is go to RHC to get the general idea.

You MIGHT be a ricer if:
... you find yourself using the excuse 'yo, but you gots twice as many cylindas, after EVERY race ... you have stickers that even most asians dont get ... you have stickers for parts you dont have ... you refer to a 50hp nitrous system as the 'big shot' ... your exhaust tip diameter is 4 times the inner muffler diameter ... birds make nests on your spoiler because its taller than the trees ... you sell crack for the image...not the money ... you have 'N/T' polished on the side of car and you dont know what bracket racing is... ... you will only race if the other guy removes four sparkplugs ... you have "All Motor" emblazoned on your rear hatch right next to your 14.50 dial in ... you brag to have nitrous and have a 14.50 dial in ... your exhaust system for your 1.8L is bigger than most Pro-stock cars ... you spent more money on stickers and stripes than your parents paid for your car ... you go to a performance shop and immediately start rummaging through the decal bin ... your tach is bigger than your head ... you have a shiftlight and your car is an automatic ... you refuse to race because it's a "show car" ... your only mods are cut factory springs and a 5" chrome exhaust tip ... you have more lights on the front of your car than the USS Voyager ... you brag about a turbo kit that never seems to get installed. ... your exhaust sounds like a dying Moose ... your bright green $300 air filter is bigger than your engine. ... You ever painted your wheels to match the same color of your car. ... You put your automatic car in neutral at every stoplight in order to roll it back and try to fool other people into thinking you have a manual transmission ... DuPont gave up trying to figure out the shade you were asking for. ... Your mod list includes stereo equipment, shifter handle, MOMO steering wheel, PIA driving lights, exhaust tip, but no REAL engine parts. ... A chameleon lizard undergoes fewer shade changes than your custom paint scheme. ... Your rims and tires are so large, that you have to install the tire / wheel from underneath the car because it simply won't fit in the wheel well going in from the side. ... Your paint job is from the WRONG end of the color spectrum. ... You installed spacers on your STOCK wheels and tires to get them to stick out past the fender. ... You see cars like yours in a Shriner's Parade for Children and clowns are driving them. ... You bring an empty Maxwell House coffee can with you to compare size when you shop for an aftermarket exhaust system. ... Your Eclipse GS-T hardtop has a "SPYDER" emblem on the rear... ... Your sum knowledge of suspension is: "the more negative camber, the better the handling." ... You push your car through the staging lanes. That way, maybe you can break into the 16s by keeping the motor cool between runs. ... You add a super tall rear wing, and a hundred pounds of aftermarket ground effects, neon and stereo yet you gut the interior and yank out the rear seat for weight savings. ... The back lighting in the gauges in your A-pillar gauge pod work long before the actual gauges are hooked up. ... You cut 4 coil springs and scrape the chassis on the ground. ... Sparks are cool when you corner at normal traffic speeds! ... You have to find a way to drive AROUND speed bumps in a parking lot. ... You ever put neon on the bottom of your car, and then busted it on the first speed bump you went over. ... You painted the UNDERBODY of your car to match ... If your rear spoiler is taller then you are. ... You have more stereo WATTS than engine TORQUE! ... If your tailpipe extension is the most expensive mod you’ve done to your engine yet. ... Your tailpipe extension fell off during a quarter mile race and you went three tenths of a second faster due to weight savings. ... You spent $5,000 on the engine and you can not out run a stock Camaro, Firebird, or Mustang ... You want the 'wastegate' sound, but don't want to install a turbocharger system. ... You think Nitrous Oxide on your Hyundai Sonata puts you in the same performance league as the Chevy Corvette. ... If the 1970 Plymouth Daytona Superbird has a smaller spoiler than your car does. ... You think the Del Sol is a sports car... ... A torque converter does NOTHING for your car. ... You think a deep farty noise = the sound of high performance ... If you think that horsepower is far more important than torque ... If you have ever claimed that switching to a cone filter has given you more than 5 HP. ... If you have ever considered installing more than one set of fog / driving lights. ... If you claim that the aftermarket cold air intake system you just installed doubled your horsepower or took 2 or more seconds off of your E/T. . . Your baseball cap is always on backwards when you drive (the first sign of mental retardation, wearing your clothes backwards...). ... You spent all night on the Internet trying to find a company that makes a turbocharger system for your Hyundai... .. If you removed your side view mirrors and put them at the TOP of the door / window frame. ... MOMO is 'absolutely required' to go fast. ... Your four cylinder has four exhaust pipes ("Hey, one for each cylinder!") ... The color of your interior upholstery hurts the cones and rods in other people's eyes. ... If you cannot drive your car in snow as the ground effects create a plow effect. ... If you have installed driving lights to compensate for headlight blackouts / tape. ... If you think that 180 horsepower and 185 lb/ft of torque are impressive for a ‘mildly’ modified engine. ... If you have stickers on your car for parts that you could not point out if asked where those parts are installed. ... You think pushrods are a bad thing… ... Your car has more decals than you do the quarter in seconds. ... Every Honda you EVER owned, all the way back to your 1978 Accord was either a V-Tec or a TYPE-R. ... You took your rear seat out and gutted your interior for weight savings but you installed 400 pounds of electronics, neon, DVD, Sony, etc. ... If you gutted the interior to save weight on a car that you will never take to the track… ... You lean your seat so far back when you are driving, that everytime you hit a bump, its your back and not your butt that hurts. ... You have hydraulics and sixteen switches on a car you claim runs low 10s on the street and corners better than a Porsche. ... You claim that you can get a titanium block for your engine. ... If you have ever thought Hyundai and "performance" went hand in hand ... If you've ever gone to a parts shop or speed warehouse and asked for a 1" to 6" exhaust adapter... ... If you've ever contemplated adding "TYPE-R" stickers to your Sonata… ... If you've removed more than 1/2 of the coils from your springs by cutting them yourself ... ... If you have more neon lights on your car than a strip club... ... You put Kanji on your Ford ZX2, Ford Probe, or Mercury Cougar ... ... You own a "TYPE-R" Hyundai or Mazda. ... You couldn't afford headlight masking, so you just painted them with flat black Krylon and it's peeling. Badly. ... You own a V-TEC Hyundai or Mazda (especially a V-TEC rotary engined Mazda RX-7) ... You have neon INSIDE your car or in your ENGINE compartment ... You ever claimed that high gas mileage made your car superior in performance to V8s. ... If it takes you 8000rpm to reach 30mph from a dead stop at WOT. ... You think yellow plastic interior trim makes your car cool ... You spend $500 for a giant hand welded tube for a muffler with the weld marks extremely visible ... If you paint your drum brakes to simulate Hi-po calipers ... If you install fake hi-po caliper / disc simulators ... You have a front wing. . .. If you equate the sound of performance with the sound of a Weed Eater™ ... If you think bolting a fake muffler to one side to simulate dual exhaust is cool ... If you take mom's 4 door Honda accord and do any kind of mod to it ... You claim you lost the race because you had a passenger in the car. ... You claim you lost because you missed a shift... and your car is an automatic. ... Flying past the person who is 10 car lengths in front of you after they have put on their brakes.. and claim a victory. ... after losing you flip your opponent off... rev your motor and fail to break the wheels loose even around a corner. ... Tell everyone about how you lost the cop because of your "driving skills". ... you are a white kid driving an import.. wear baggy pants/hat turned around, walk with a fake limp and end every sentence with "yew know wha I'm sayin? Relate." ... Your idea of aiming a handgun is raising your arm over your head, pointing the gun away from you, and then just letting your wrist fall to the side to where the gun is almost sideways ... ... drive around in a $20,000 import with $10,000 in mods.. and still live with your parents. ... You can relate to every line of the song "Pretty Fly For A White Guy" by the Offspring ... You really don't care if the wing fits the car right, they make duct tape for a reason ... Your windshield banner is spelled wrong, (i.e. V-TEC or Performantz Motorsportz) ... Your street-meet includes a "Most Bitchin' Shift Knob" competition ... Your racing team's name could be confused with a nightclub ... You need to be reminded what your car is "powered by".

Simple - Don't reply!
See now, I may be out of line here but REAL SIMPLE SOLUTION - Don't respond! Leave the thread without a response. Simple but effective and then neither Dan, and his website, or anyone else ends out with a 9 page post on why we don't like answering the Ricer question...
