because there have been about 10 different people who explained our view of a ricer, and you don't seem to get it. If you don't agree with us, that's fine, but don't try to reiterate the fact that you disagree with our opinion of a ricer. We know, you don't believe in "ricers", and that's cool. I'm not trying to sway your opinion, but it seems you are trying to sway our opinion over and over. That is why I think it's getting under your skin. You may think that a ricer is a kitchen utensil, but here at MW, we don't. We've all experienced these ricers in thier civic's, accords, etc... and we are tired of this fad

We believe the term ricer describes an attitude, presented mostly by people in imports. There are plenty of people with this attitude who drive imports, even though thier car is totally stock. They know thier car is stock, but still try to race everything on the road as if they are fast. A ricer isn't merely defined by the car he/ she drives, he/ she's defined by the attitude that they think they are fast and can whoop anyone, when we all know that they are slow. I have nothing against a 5 foot wing on a car, I personally wouldn't do it, but that doesn't mean I can't make fun of it by calling the driver a ricer.

I was not bench racing here by saying my car would do this or do that with this or that. I am merely saying even though I know my car's pretty much stock, I know it'll beat a lot of the car's on the road. That doesn't make me go out and race everything I see, just because I think my car's fast. That's the ricer attitude we don't like. I know my car in it's stock form is fast, and by doing some simple mods, I know I could smoke a vette. Tell me the last time you saw an import that you could dump 2k into to that'll smoke a vette. These ricers read too much into the hype that thier magazines spew, and don't do enough work to their car.

BTW, when I purchased my car it had the cowl hood, and the blackouts were $5 from a friend. Now that it's my car, I am planning a sick combo. I'm actually putting more thought into the performance side of my car, rather than the appearance, like most ricers.

Later, Keith
