Complimented by a RICER
was a 1st for me. :)
got to 46 degrees today, so went for a ride, and stopped by the carwash on the way home.
I was in line at a booth with a new Nissan Z next to me. He was the kind that liked to rev, and "hop" his way around the car wash...kinda funny :lolg:
Anyay, there was a Ricer type on the other side of the Z, (triple wing, big mouth facia and such). He walks AROUND the Nissan "Z" and says "nice ride man" :thumbs:
I think the Z guy was pizzed :lolg:
Of course, the Z guy pulled out of the carwash while I was drying mine, and did the "rev, hop" thing. Trying to impress I guess....

Re: Complimented by a RICER (Phil-tha-Rush)
Sweet, I get compliments from ricers all the time. A lot of my friends have imports, after talking to a lot of people that own imports, most the of the time when they are revving their engine its just to see your car go. But their are still a lot of idiots that think stickers=HP.

Re: Complimented by a RICER (Phil-tha-Rush)
About midnight one Friday night I was stopping for gas on the way home from a softball game when I pulled into the stall beside a completely riced-out Honda with thirty day tags & full of teenage guys. The passenger looked over & said "Wow!", then looked at the driver & said "Now that's a car!" The driver then asked me "what's it got? A five speed?". The passenger says "it's a six speed, idiot!". I think alot ricers appreciate our Vettes. :thumbs:
BTW Phil, how did you lower your car? Did you completely remove any pads/shims in the middle of the front spring? Did you remove any of the pads at the ends of the spring? Your car looks great at that hight! :thumbs:

Thanks for the compliment. Actually I had it done by a corvette shop. I think the rubber pads were completely removed from the ends of the spring, but the middle was left as is.
My problem with the Ricer thing.... ......................
I think that makes me an HONORARY RICER now :cuss

Phil,
Funny you should bring up the 350Z thing. Just on my way to work today I saw one and he did his darndest to catch up and try to play with the GS all the way into work. I normally just cruise with the flow of traffic. He was driving like a wild man trying to keep up cutting in and out of traffic. Not sure who he was trying to impress but it wasn't me and I don't think it was that State Trooper he was explaining things to either.
