Us vs. Them: why ricers suck!
I was strolling through the magazine section while shopping today and I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in a grocery store before in my life.
I saw a Car Craft mag, read the cover and it said "Us vs. Them: why ricers suck" so I decided to check it out. Along with the article it includes some captions of things that "we" do and the ricer's equivalent to it. Lets see if I can remember any.... We: Take off when we see the 3rd amber light. Ricers: Do a flyby through a red light at an intersection. We: Install roll cages when we break into the 11's. Ricers: Install roll cages to have more mounting spots for more guages. We: Spend $2000 to push a new Z28 into the 11's Ricer's: Spend $15,000 to push a honda civic into the 14's (something like that) I can't think of anymore right now but the whole thing was pretty funny. I didn't buy it cause the damn magazine was like 25pages long and was $4.00 :eek: Check it out next time your in the mag section, its worth getting stared at for laughing so hard :D later |

i get that mag., that was a hilarious article. its a pretty good magazine too. i seen where a ricer put a post on here one time and in his signature he had a header and was claiming 30 hp. some people have no clue, i bet they think if they slap in the good ol short throw shifter they get 10hp to the wheels.
