So me and my friends were on our way to Sonic tonight when we drove past 4 civics pulled over on the shoulder of the road. All of which had HIDs and were complete shit boxes. As we are passing, the one in front revs his engine and dumps the clutch, and does a major burnout right on the side of the highway. He takes off and the others follow and they all speed away driving recklessly weaving like idiots and such...

What the Hell?! Like, I knew that ricers existed, but in my experiences its just people who have poor taste in modding. But I was just totally in awe that people do stupid shit like this. I dont know why im so upset about it.

Anyway, has anyone else ever seen something like that? and again.. what gives?!

 

its just some immature teen's thinking their civic's with neon lighting are the shit. Its really stupid, to many innocent people get hurt becuase of their immaturity.

 

Well they're young drivers, so that explains the driving. They have crappy cars because their parents didn't buy them a car.

 

at least we know they love hondas.

 

LOL ... we were all young once ...

 

Those are the moments where I wish I was driving a big truck with a nice plow on the front. I'd love to plow the roads clear of that shit...

 

idiots..

 

that in itself made me l-o-l

 

hopefully darwin checks in on them soon...

 

nnnnnnnooooooooooosssssss

 

That's a b-s excuse. My parents didn't buy me a car, yet I never considered myself a ricer and took pride in my car and the money I put into it. And I had nice cars, not sh*t boxes with falling apart body kits and neon lights.

It's more like a bunch of idiots looking to cause trouble and feeding off of each other's stupidity. If I wasn't so influenced by my friends I wouldn't have got into 1/2 the trouble I did as a kid, so thankfully I didn't have any other close friends that were into the car scene like I was. This isn't to say I didn't have my street encounters, but I never swerved through traffic like a jackass racing my friends or revving my engine at passing cars. That's just so freaking ridiculous.

 

lol Sonic's always seems to attract the ricers. Almost every time I've gone there, there's a bunch of Civics who bounce off their rev limiters in the drive-through or while looking for parking.

 

Yep. As a species, having young males be stupid and reckless has proven itself to be a beneficial evolutionary trait. The unlucky or really stupid and reckless at the tail end of the behavioral distribution curve get Darwin'ed out while the meek wimps/geeks/nerds at the other tail end just don't get the chicks to procreate with.

The stupid and reckless young males who surive till full adulthood are the cream of the human crop and do things like come down from the trees,learn to use fire, go to the moon, etc.

So those ricers are an unfortunate but necessary evil yet fortunately, in the greater scheme of things, they are really a very minor evil.

 

I really liked the way that was put. So true. .

 

Wait another 10 years and you'll really be confused about the way kids behave.

 

+1.

my parents have never bough or even given me money for a car. at 17 i drove a civic, at 18, i drove a stock and well taken care of 240sx nice IMO, at 19 i drove a 6MT ASPEC TL, and now i drive an S2000 with a hardtop. no excuse. you get what you work for

none looked riced out!!!

 

if you see them again thank them for my car insurance being so high

 

As one of the resident old guys on this board, I'd love to chime in like a grumpy curmudgeon about what kind of d-bags these kids are.

But the fact of the matter is, back in the day (20 years ago), my buddy and I used to race the crap out of his '87 CRX and my '89 Integra RS against each other every opportunity we got.

There was a difference though. We had a very healthy respect for the art of driving and especially the dangers on the roads. We were (and still are) all about car control, hitting your apexes correctly, not abusing your tires, etc. etc. If you drove over your head, you were laughed at and considered amateur.

The young thrashers these days don't really act that way. Its all about "winning" and who has the most balls. Stupid. We never did all that weave around through traffic stuff like crazed maniacs, it was dangerous and what the hell was the point? Who can come closest to dying in a giant f-ing fireball? It was much better to find a deserted road where we could go mano-a-mano, skill vs. skill.

Long story short, as long as young guys have cars, they're gonna race. Public roads, private tracks, it doesn't matter. Its just too bad that the equipment gets the focus now instead of driver ability. That's how people get hurt.

 

lol seen that a few times, when they do that i don't bother to race there arrs. waste of time when knowing we'd smoke them haha

 

I've seen tons of them. The Kragen Special Civics always kill me. They ad every crap "accessory" to their car and think it looks badass. My first car was an 84 Sentra and I guess I thought that was the shit but I didn't rice it up. I don't know if they had ricers in 1990. I don't mind them as long as they don't hit me but some of them are violent, abusive punks. At least with my CL I can easily pass them.

 

now that I've moved..first post from new locale btw... I see ricers everywhere. I've come to have to categorize what type of ricer it is. white rice, mexican rice, fired rice(aka stoner rice) and the ever prevalent wtf that was a nice car rice. However I've found another type, the ricer hyundai/kia, which I've decided not to even call a ricer, just a pos with shit all over it.

 

Blah, blah blah... ya just watched Gran Torino didn'tcha?

No, they are Bokkeumbappers.

Bokkeumbap is a popular cheap Korean dish: left overs fried with rice. Now Kimchi Bokkeumbap is special, kind of like putting ketchup on KD (Kraft Dinner).

 

I will sound so educated now while hating.

 

lol

 

Heh heh, not quite that old yet!

 

By chance this wasnt on the 5 north fwy south of Seattle last night, was it? Reason I asked because I experienced the same thing on my way to the airport....one guy in a little civic almost got rear ended by a semi because him and one of his buddies was chatting with each other....go figure

 

^^ thats a negative. it was on 46 in totowa nj. but that is ironic. i guess great ricers think alike. haha

 

When I first got my license at 16 I was doing some stupid shxt too...and I was just driving my dad's 1998 corolla VE (no power windows, no power locks...lol) and obviously it was as stock as it could be. Still, I'd drive it hard, going 80km/h in 50km/h zone and weaving in and out. But I learned my lesson quickly....it was raining and I was going down this street at 110km/h (50km/h limit), then the lights turned yellow, I tried to slow down, nope, no abs, brakes locked up and the car kept going. I was like "oh well whatever I will just go," and I just went through it. Nope, I was stupid and didn't learn yet. Three minutes later, I had to turn left, going at 60km/h, which wasn't a good idea in a corolla in the rain. The car understeered and I went right between two light posts, on the sidewalk. So I guess I was lucky that I didn't hit anything solid. But after that, I learned my lesson. Yup. I was very stupid.

 

Fried rice! Ha ha. I guess Prius Ricers would be Tofus?

 

...And 50-60% of the drivers in NJ

 

couldn't be since the only Sonics in all of Washington is in Puyallup which is around Tacoma. They just opened about a month back too.
And yes, ricers have already found their place there..

I think it has to do with the fact they can park and eat to show off their sick cars to all the highschool girls who work there longer.

 

Im going to have to disagree somewhat. You make it sound like this douchebaggery is something new with the teens. While you may have been the i did it but used my head crowd it by no means means your generation all followed what you did. My dad laughs at the news every time the news makes it sound like street racing is something new and some big epidemic. He told stories of him and stories his dad had from street racing and the duchebaggery kids did back then. Its nothing new, what is new is the larger populations and the medias immediate coverage to it now days.

 

Nope. nothing new. Thank dog I, and my kids, are old enough to respect the road.

 

I wish I would have been quick on the camara button. Yesterday I saw this kid with his BMW that would have been a poster child..

This thing was a gem. It was missing its front bumper. He had two different tail lights. One being one of those cheap LED ebay ones and the other being stock. He had 3 after market rims and 1 stock one. To top it off he had his fart can bazooka tube shitbox muffler that made his little 3 series sound like a fucking go kart from mario kart.

That clown was weaving in and out of traffic, farting everytime he made a lane change.

He thought he looked so cool in his shitbox.
