He's got "noss" man

NOS or "noss" has been used for at least 10 years here as the a quick way to communicate a car has nitrous or whatever.

Saying N.O.S. or Nitrous Oxide Systems is longer and takes more effort, plus it's easy to figure out what people mean.

I think everybody that says carb instead of carbuerator or cam instead of camshaft, or rods instead of connecting rods, or tranny instead of transmission, or rims instead of wheels, or computer instead of Engine Control Module or Powertrain Control Module, or Engine Management Unit, or Engine Control Module, or anybody that says EFI instead of Electronic Fuel Injection, or 3.73's instead of 3.73:1 ring and pinion ratio should be considered a ricer as well.

I hope everybody gets the point here.

Also it pisses me off when people say putting a spoiler on a car makes it rice, well, damn, I guess all those late 60's Mach 1's and Boss Mustangs were all rice, huh? I like spoilers, and I would be willing to bet any fox Mustang GT hatch would look liks *** without one. Just because you want your car to look nice doesn't imply you are a ricer, it implies you take pride in making your car nice.

So everybody can cut the bullshit of trying to be rebels by going against everything the import crowds do to their cars because once everybody does that, you're no longer a rebel. You're a follower, just now the ricers call you a redneck.

It's all a matter of taste. I don't like putting 10k of ugly lookin mods onto my car to make it look like a starship when it only has 100hp, but I can understand the desire to make my car look better to me, or to take pride in my car and try to make it better.

I don't get why they think some of that junk looks good, but hey, their choice. When they think it's fast because they put a wing on, now you're talking something that ticks me off. That's ignorance or just plain stupidity.
