do you have the big tampon looking exhaust on them? if so, then yes, you qualify as a ricer.

We have an import car, but it is not rice

My wife has a 2003 Toyota Matrix XRS. Or, if you put some butt ugly plastic on it, then it would be a Pontiac Vibe GT. Same car, better looking, $4500 less.

It would be rice if we put a Folgers can exhaust, a useless wing, stickers and ugly paint on it.

I think that being a ricer is a frame of mind....

I wouldnt call you a ricer but I did hear that Nissan is either owned by, or deeply involved in French monitary assets. We have a Toyota Sienna minivan and we love it. The van was at least assembled in the USA. Not sure to what extent the parts were made here or not.

I consider ricers the ones with big wings and that poopiety sounding can exhaust. those are the main two things to look for, then, of course, if it has the paint.

What you all over there refer to as a "boy racer". My wife is from England so we have to translate for each other. :lol:

I've seen some VERY ricey Vettes around. That was in New Jersey mind you, but still. Owning a NICE Corvette surely negates being a ricer tho :p:

Why would you be a ricer for buying vehicles that were actually put together decently?
