The Stench of Rice at Autozone

[bigdaddy3312]

i care because they think they are fast and furious.thats why..and they arent.i pay with my own pocket,do mostly all my own work,and i am responsable for my own insurance and that is how a true enthusiast plays the game,dont drop it off at wally's garage,grab a check from your parents and drive away from it.(not saying thats what you do) but i have built a 70 nova ss ran 10s all day drove it to fla to race there when no one said it should be tortured for 25 hrs.built a dart gt,a 69 gs stage 1 so to me it isnt the cars,its 95 % of the lil bags they represent.i have been building cars since i was 14 as a hobby,so i have 18 yrs in now.and i have never never acted like these lil tards do.if you throw around " wars" i want a friggn war,not a 99 prelude with naws runnng 14 7s.that isnt a war.and i dont sit in the pits saying my 5.0 is going to smoke anyone.....i could throw it away with the light...........just the fact that someone with a turbo and 25000 in a civic runs high 14s isnt impressive.....i have not ever a 3rd of that in my 5.0 and its a straight and nice looker that goes like hell.mass stang knows my ride and he shares the same attitude.like i said i enjoy all cars.just walk the walk if you tak the talk,or shut the h e ll up get it? i am an enthusiast

[this is not cbring]

okay, works for me. i drive an import, so i prolly hear as much of that stuff from "ricers" (oddly enough, all high school kids) as anyone here.

i kinda got the impression that you were endorsing situations like this:

- i run at the track.
- random domestic guy in the stands makes some sort of negative comment about my car.
-random "ricer" that i don't know tells random domestic guy that my car is "fast" and will smoke his "POS"
-random domestic gets all pissed and approaches me(best case- tells me how much i suck......worst case - wants to beat my arse)

it sometimes seems that domestic guys assume that all import guys know each other and are boys. for the most part, the "ricers" hate all imports except their own little crew and the fastest one in town

Any idiot with money can go out and pay to have nitrous, or a turbo installed on his car, and not even know anything about it.
What really impresses me are the guys who can build a motor to run 11's or even 10's with no power adders. I have alot of respect for the guys who do their own work on their cars

[bigdaddy3312]

could i take that as a backward compliment? if i can thanks much appreciation.....i do alot with mass stang and we get together frequently,and share tips,do the rides,i am constantly doing something to my car......i just got anothet intake from the shop that i am going to try out in the next few weeks,if it doesnt make me faster keep your eyes open a ported and polished explorer intake may be up for grabs.....i dont have any adders,just bolt ons,norm.aspirated......no naws,or a turbo.

[rbohm]

if you guys really want a laugh, get some of the truckers who not only use their trucks for work, but also use them to compete at the race track as well, show up at one of these ricer events to race. then record the looks of the idiot ricers when they get stomped by an 18 wheeler that drove in, dropped his trailer, ran 12's all day long, hooked back up and drove out to finish their job. and yes their are 12 second 18 wheelers out there. as an alternative, find the guys who run their diesel pickups into the 11's.

[bigdaddy3312]

there is a couple of guys here that do 11's in a dodge and a ford with some computer and propane!!!! it looks like a g o d d a m n mosquito patrol!!!! but wow!

I used to say to each his own but recently changed my mind. At least when it comes to rice.

There's a Sport Compact Car magazine in my office now. (No it isn't mine. Someone found it and thought it would be funny to put on my desk. Kind of like gay porn or something...whatever). Anyhow, there's an ariticle in there about track testing the cars from 2Fast 2Furious. To sum it all up all the rice cars are talked up about how balanced and high tech they are. Turbos, nitrous, fancy paint, blah, blah, blah. Then they review the clone Yenko Camaro. Here are some quotes. "For those throwbacks still reading "Car Craft"... this Camaro is powered by a 427-cubic inch (7.0 liters to those of us comfortable in the 21st century), iron-block, cam-in-block, overhead valve V8 making 425hp despite relying on a giant fuel leak called a "four barrel carburetor" for induction...the steering is as much by blind luck as it is by a recirculating ball and the solid axle on leaf springs rear suspension is about as supple as a cylinder block being slammed into an old Norge freezer."

And they go on but you get the gist. Finally I read the stats of this Camaro and look at that. It ran a 13.7 ET in the quarter. Fastest car they reviewed from the movie and this is their magazine. Well that about sums it up I think.

The older I get the more I think tolerance of others is overrated. Just me.

last friday i popped into my friends pizza place , where all the driver's have riced out cars but have seen the sleeper stang run (except one @ss with a civic who will find out)

one of the drivers runs in and yell's that thers a huge group of rices staging out on the highway between Calgary and Cochorane,

would i like to roll with them up to this road race (cars running great boost turned up nitrous works still hasent been run on this motor)

I show up and these ricers who work for my friend are telling all the other Ricers about my car with respect (It actually changed my mind about most of them)

I had one of the head Ricer's ask me my top speed , I said 139MPH he was like I top out at over 145MPH I said i thought at the end of the 1/4 ,

They then told me I wasnt allowed in on there little run and asked me to leave but it kinda killed there air of invincibility.

So when i did leave i was confused half of them asked questions and drooled over the twin turbo V8 and half thought it was a anchor?? I dont know what to think.\

Those rocket scientists at SCC can kiss my "throwback" rear-end...

It takes a lot of nerve to talk trash about a car that just wiped the hell out of the "high-tech" easter-egg machines...

[Fox Body]

You know, there's some subjects that I can't talk about too much. Like this one. I get too pissed off. Such stupidity. Every riceboy I've ever come up on or got a light with never had the guts to run me. One time, I KID YOU NOT, I was trying to catch up to this riced out Civic so I could smash it to bits and dude was running from me so I couldn't catch up-- no joke. I'm thinking, "Hey dude, if your car's sooooo fast and furious, why are you running from me like a little mouse?" PUNKS!!!!!

And I'm starting to see more and more newer stangs with those gay altezza-style tail lights. C'mon people!!

[rbohm]

imagine their chagrin if a real 427 cobra should happen along to one of their meets. could they live down the fact that a mid 60's dinosaur sucked not only the headlight out of their ricers, but sucked the paint off the cars as well. and not only in a straight line, but through the corners as well!

i totally agree...it was cute for a while, but now these primered civics, hyundai's, Kia's an holy crap i hope your kidding"..Daewoo's. ....

My friend has a Daewoo that's riced out. Right now he's just got the muffler, next he's getting the $1k body kit for it pffft. Then the wing. Oh yeah and since its' a "street racer" (so he calls it) he's gonna go with performance tires in the front and 18's or 20's (wheels i mean) in the back for racing. ROFL, he wants to go with ME to the movie theater for opening night to 2f2f. I'm like, "uhhhh, i dunno man how about you go down there first with your car, then uhhh, i'll come later?" heh.

Dude, you have to set him straight b4 it's too late. Give him some guidance. I have a friend with CRX who was talking about putting all this rice crap on the car and one night I had to have a pep talk with him. We had a good discussion and he seems a LOT more even-minded now (whew- *wipes brow*). I couldn't stand by and let a friend screw up his life.

[Mass Stang]

I take my 89 GT to a local cruise night almsot every Friday. And it seems like some ricer has to pick me out and tell me all about his car. LIKE I CARE !!!!!. I would much rather talk to a Chevy, or Mopar guy about their car instead.

[Axman]

I kinda agree. The cars aren't so bad, it's the invincibility attitude of the drivers. My list of projects that I left in another thread didn't include the joint efforts between myself and friends. My friend and I built a 1/4 mile car that ran mid 9s for the entire season in 1983 @ 135+ mph. The top end ran over 180 topped out. The car was a 73 'Cuda with the 440 magnum and was dynoed @ 650 hp and awesome low end torque. We never did find out the torque rating.

My former girlfriend had a 17 year old son who had a ricer friend I "raced". Late 80 primer grey Accord with two blue stripes down the center of the cars top (GT 350 style). I allowed him to take a full car length for about a block before I opened the 4 bbls. Left him there like a scared dog. I even had time to pull into a parking lot and get the car stopped before he caught up. His first words, "I got my a** kicked by a station wagon, a STATION WAGON!" My girlfriends boy instantly fell into the US crowd and the next week his first vehicle was a 66 Ford F-150 with the big 300-6 in it.

Next week Autozone will install Panda Express counters at all locations!

[DAN-MAN]

Man I know what y'all are talking about. I saw a Autozone commercial on tv a few nights back and it had mostly rice and riced-out domestics in it. It was mostly geared towards imports and it makes me angry that kids see this crap and think that it's the greatest thing in the world.

I've got a 1995 Ford Mustang. It's not the greatest car in the world but I'm going to put a small block and a good tranny and 8.8 rearend in it eventually. It'll be nothing special but it'll be something that I can drive and race and have fun with. Most of all, it'll be CHEAP. You will never find me owning or modifying an import.

Ever.
