We have this kid by our work that drives this "ricer" and I mean ricer neon. He has tattoos on his neck and has the big AZATTICKS sticker to represent his friends workplace and the Columbia Sound design Design sticker on the bottom for the stereo place. Anyways, his car for a ricer is done nicely and ACTUALLY painted to match unlike the ricers that have the kits installed and never aint them, so you see like multi colored Hondoas going down the road. Anyways, I ask him, and his GF because she follows him everywhere what kind of power he had. He just looked at me like "Man all I got is the intake and exhaust" i said "oh really" And laughed to myself. Thats a ricer for you. Young punk with their GF's riding shotgun blasting rap music, and blowing the fartcan at a light trying to get me to light them up. i dont even look at ricers at lights because there is no way in hell Ill lose to one. Its not worth my tranny going out on me over a 145HP Honda or the amerciacan ricer, the neon!!!

Just as long as it isn't the Neon SR4 or ST4 or whatever that monster is. You may not be able to beat that one. I have raced the Evo, and it was dead even, smoked the WRX, smoked the Prelude, smoked any civic I have come into contact with, smoked the Honda 2000, but I will tell ya', I got my behind handed to me by that damn neon. And he SMOKED me! By at least three car lengths...those bad boys are quick off the line and down the straight away.

Slowest Bullitt in TX!!

I like the list allot! funny stuff.
BTW when some ricer revs at me, i almost always race them unless its an unsafe/policed area. I dont want them going to their buddies telling them "The "GT" wouldnt race..he musta been scuuuured". Rather, i would just smoke them, and teach them not to bother racing a car that has 4 more clyinders.

I don't waste my time with them. Win or lose, would make no difference to me. Just a waste of time with most, but not of them.

BudACAD · Jun 12, 2004

I raced a couple of Evos while commuting to work. I kicked there ASCII :wink:... All 3 feet that we went in the Commute Traffic :rotfl:

Have a good weekend.

Bud
