I'm traveling in Florida right now (home tomorrow!! yea!) and my group went to a restaurant last nite. Sitting in the parking lot was a lowered Honda (Ricer in progress) with colored Strobe lights in each headlight, taillight, 2 on the rear window deck, one on the dash, and one in the console. There was also a SIREN with a strobe light mounted ON THE DASH!! THEY WERE ALL FLASHING CONTINUOUSLY!! Nobody around the car at all, like he just turned it on to attract attention while it was parked!?!?!??! W T F ???? It was SO lame looking!!!! I never saw this before, is this the hot thing now????

We went back to the same area tonight to a different restaurant right next door, and the car was still parked there, like it was an employee. The lights were not on, but it's Halloween so I figured WTF and pushed the front bumper up and down several times, hoping to set off the alarm.[}:)] Unfortunately it didn't go off.....

It's been used since the early '60's, DOH! Originally the term "ricer" was an insult to people who own motorcycles or cars made in Japan and the Orient by domestic bike/car die-hards. The term stuck, and is now in common usage within the community for which it was intended against.

Traditionally, the main dietary staple in the Orient is rice. Ever see the rice fields over there? Huge... Anyway, rice (the food) is cheap and plentiful in the East, and therefore is a major export from which the area has gained world-wide recognition. (most of the old Bikers and Citizens still had some resentment pent up from WWII, Korea and Vietnam) Consequently, motorcycles and cars made there, have been derogatorily dubbed 'ricers', 'rice mobiles', 'rice grinders', 'rice rockets', 'crotch rocket and a few other choice words that Harley riders and AMERICAN muscle car gear heads gave to Japanese Cars and Motorcycles.

"Stupid people who drive slow 4-cylinders and put a coffee-can tip, a gay aluminum wing, a bunch of stickers, and other cheap things that add drag. They can be recognized by an exhaust note sounding similar to gas release."

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rice&f=1

"A well built Japanesse car that is often hated on by Americans who are jealous that they can not build a car of the same caliber. Also see Honda, Acura, Toyota.

It may be rice, but at least its not an American piece of shit."

but it's still not german perfection [:p]

Rice burners are annoying as hell. They tend to travel in packs and when bunched together, sound like a swarm of bees. And why is it that they all think they can run with the big boys? I get more challenges from Prelude, Civic, and Eclipse drivers than I do anyone else. BMW owners run a close second. I'll usually go ahead and drop the hammer on the Beemers, but I rarely waste my gas on the obnoxious ricers.
