Default Ricer Hand Jesters

I'm starting to see a bunch of ricers giving a thumbs down when they drive by, can anyone enlighten me to what that means? I’m not up on my ricer lingo.

Thanks

I think it means they recognize that you'd beat them, so they're declining to race

Just a mindless putdown of our cars...

Wave at 'em as you pull away into the distance and give 'em something to think about...

Default not sure about the hand gestures

but, I was sitting at a light next to some rice the other day so I did a little rev to wake the guy and his girlfriend up.

He came back at me with his sub-woofers.

Whatever you do, don't try to out-stereo these guys if yours is stock...

They are skilled mechanics and are professional drivers each one of them.
If you don't believe that just ask them they will tell you.

If I were immature, I'd suggest a return hand guesture involving another digit.

I never had it happen to me. Course, there isn't much rice in this town. I would guess that it's not a nice gesture. If it did happen, my return gesture would not be misunderstood.

Which brings me to this theory - are you sure they weren't giving you a high five minus four sign??

Earlier this week, I was driving along when this riced out MX-6 flies up next to me, revs his engine, then dashes for the upcoming redlight. when i pulled up next to him, he looked over, gave me a look of disgust and turned up his stereo.

so i pulled a little ahead until my rear end was just ahead of his passenger window and let him hear my corsa indy's @ 4,000 rpms for about 15 seconds. then stuck my head out the window, looked him in the eye and gave him the same sneer.
