Yes there are!!
You're telling me you've never had someone pull up next to you in a stock Accord with his hat on sideways with his radio (not even a CD player) on as loud as it goes try to race you. That is the ricer mentality (sp?) we are trying to tell you about.
Here's an example. There was this neighbour of mine (about a year ago) who was about 19, (not much younger than me) that would try to race me in his MOM's escort. There wasn't anything done to the car (except a few dents he put in it) that would give him any reason to think he could even keep up with me, but I had to race him a few times before he stopped trying to race me.
I don't think a 13 second car is slow, do you? What does your VW run? I'll bet somewhere around mid 15's. All I have to do is throw the normal H/I/C in my car and it'll run in the 12's. I'm just estimating, but it'd only cost around $2000. These ricers pay 12-15K for an economy car, then dump $5000 into it and it still can't keep up with me and my $2000 worth of mods, plus the $3500 I paid for my car.
It's kinda strange how this ricer topic gets under your skin so bad. It's actually kind of funny. Take care, Keith
