__________________
Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt

A person who makes unnecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Body kit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performance intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some 3000gt's Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therefore not always considered rice, but it really depends on the severity of the case.

I don't think I'd want a Hennessey- the owners of the parts might want them back

(kidding, kidding)

it's cool, but I think you can make a Viper put out that kind of power for less than that...

I rather buy a house with that 215...because that car isnt worth it. Unless you gave it to a famliy member who has a life insurance policy of a million and your the sole aire!! Im sure they would kill themselves with that car within a week.

There are 2 ways to make a car fast.
#1 use the Right combo of parts
#2 Throw so much money at it that the car has no choice but to be fast.
I choose #1
