rice! uncle bens long grain!
ricer's are cars that are over with their body aesthetics.. ex. wide body kits, large wings, lambo doors, lexus tail lights, large mufflers, to make it short, its like their car is from outer space.. :lol:
Not at all.
is that cardboard?
None of that is "RICE". Just people ****in around with their cars & havin a bit of fun.
No one here on this forum has ever had a piece of **** car that they really didnt care what they did with it? House paint, big ass stickers, painting the TIRES yellow & purple. I've had cars that were so rusted I would cut the roof off & rivet canvas to the frame & then to top it off with some brand new chrome wheels.
WHY?..... Just because.
RICE is a car owners attitude, not a car style. Thinking the car is something it is not & trying to drive it that way.
Here is a link to Beater racers, that alot of peopel on this site would consider rice, yet I garantee that 99% of the cars at this linked site are faster then any AVEO on this forum. They are by no means pretty but they race the hell out of them. before I got married I used to do stuff like this all the time.
The 24hrs of LeMons....

You know those cars that run LeMons are highly modified. Tires, brakes, roll cage, are not included in the $500 dollar cutoff.
I kind of agree with this but style is a big part of it too.. if you have a car that is stock and you say it is fast, that means your dumb not a ricer..but if you have a base neon with an unpainted body kit, rims and a big wing, and suddenly think you can beat a mustang = ricerQuote:

and i love lemons, but yeah they have extra $$ into them.. and usually unlimited tires etc.. plus thay all get new brakes and saftey in addition to the budget.. a friend of mine almost made it into the finals for the show.. i think he is going to try and make it again this year. there is a low budget one out too now though, the cars only have to pass state inspection to enter.. anything else goes.
But remember it isnt about what is under the hood...right? It is what the cars look like. If anyone of you saw ANY of those cars parked on the street, or stopped at a light. I can almost garantee the first words of of your mouths would be to call it
RICE.
I showed someone a photo of a MAtiz with a BodyKit. First thing out of their mouth was RICE..until I told them it had a C6 vette 7.0L engine. All of a sudden it was badass.
Go figure.
