Default Another Ricer Story

I was on my way to school today in the fast lane doin about 80 and there was this little SVT Focus in the slow lane that I was coming up on. Once I got next to him he sped up to get even with me then took off with fart cannon whining. He went up and cut in front of the guy in front of me real fast.... which was when that "guy in front of me" hit his lights... It was an undercover LEO!

I just ignore the crazy ones like what you saw. Not all ricers are bad, just the ones that think they are something. Some really care for their cares and enjoy modding them just like a lot of Corvette owners. I'm never into racing as I feel there is nothing to prove on my side.

Technically I wouldn't consider a Focus a ricer, but since it had a fart can, that makes it a ricer "wannabe" and that is even more lame than a ricer.

Good on the LEO for nailing him.
