The look is getting dangerously close to "ricer" territory if you know what I mean (NOT a good thing).

I'm a newbie - "ricer" ? Thanks

 

Cars from Japan. "Rice burners."

 

Got it! Thanks - somtimes it is hard to keep up with the latest jargon - but I try! DaleD

 

Hey Dale--up in Marin County you probably don't get the plethora of "rice-burners" that we get down here in SoCal. In general, these are typically Honda's, Suburu's, Mitsubishi's, etc. that are dangerously souped up for their size and weight. You will see all manner of wings, huge exhaust outlets, carbon fiber crap, large letters plastered all over the exterior. . .you get the point.

Thanks - I've never heard that term around here - but we do have a few of them, and now I'll smile every time I see one!

We left Santa Monica in '95, and then those cars weren't consider safe on the freeways by a lot of people - you had to have heft as well as power.

I have the other problem here in Marin - my XKR is considered a "pollution machine" and not very PC. However, when I explain that our other car is a Prius - I get a little slack, and folk tell me they think it enhances the neighborhood - visually at least.

 

If your exhaust pipe is larger than your cylinder diameter you are a 'ricer'.

 

 

Some, outside California, may not get that.

 

Here you go

 

Now I get the picture - everything is better with a graphic! DaleD

 

If the side of your honda say's "got rice?" . You are not only a ricer, but you are smart enough to make fun of yourself. I have seen a lot of those in Orange county around a little place that the sign on the freeway refers to as "Little Saigon"
