[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 18083, member: 2"] Alright, I've heard this term being used a few times now so we may have to start a thread on it. I don't mind poking fun but I'm not a fan of blanket statements. Out of curiosity, we may have to get a definition on what a ricer is. Is it the equivalent to the guys with the 80's Monty Carlos with glass packs and shackle extenders that think their car is fast because it is loud? I'm just asking because there are some beautiful Asian cars out there and as this is a public forum, I would hate to think that if someone with an NSX, or nice RX-7, or Supra were interested in Corvettes and reading this forum they would think we have a hate on for anything not American. I only bring this up as I have seen a lot of off colored comments in the forum to the south of us and would hate to have our forum follow that path of ignorance. Am I tired of the kid with the fart car and wing revving his car up beside me because he wants to race? Sure, but is it that car's fault it's being driven by a d-bag? Plus, you get those dough heads in every group, so it's easier just to laugh at them and let them get on their way. I don't feel threatened by them and even if their car is fast, it still doesn't sound good so what do I care. I know the people on here are great people and you guys are most likely just having a little fun. I'm just saying we have to be careful with what we say on here and what it looks like to the people on the outside. [/QUOTE]
