    You may be a Ricer if...

    You may be a Ricer if...

    You have more exhaust decibels than your engine has horsepower.

    You have aftermarket FRONT wheels for racing but stock rear wheels.

    Your engine makes twice as much horsepower as torque.

    17" rims up front, 13" out back on your FWD.

    You ever painted your wheels to match the same color of your car.

    You put your automatic car in neutral at every stoplight in order to roll it back and try to fool other people into thinking you have a manual transmission

    DuPont gave up trying to figure out the shade you were asking for.

    Your mod list includes stereo equipment, shifter handle, Momo steering wheel, PIAA driving lights, exhaust tip, but no real engine parts.

    A chameleon lizard undergoes fewer shade changes than your custom paint scheme.

    Your rims and tires are so large, that you have to install the tire / wheel from underneath the car because it simply won't fit in the wheel well going in from the side.

    The dealer laughs when you bring your car back in for service under warranty, and you've only had it 6 months...

    Your tires / rims stick out from the lip of your car by more than 1."

    Your paint job is from the WRONG end of the color spectrum.

    You installed spacers on your STOCK wheels and tires to get them to stick out past the fender.

    You see cars like yours in a Shriner's Parade for Children and clowns are driving them.

    You have decals on your ride for equipment you don't have.

    You bring an empty Maxwell House coffee can with you to compare size when you shop for an aftermarket exhaust system.

    Your Eclipse GS-T hardtop has a "SPYDER" emblem on the rear...

    Your sum knowledge of suspension is: "The more negative camber, the better the handling."

    You push your car through the staging lanes. That way, maybe you can break into the 16s by keeping the motor cool between runs.

    You add a super tall rear wing, and a hundred pounds of aftermarket ground effects, neon and stereo yet you gut the interior and yank out the rear seat for weight savings.

    Your rear wing AND your rear window have a third mount brake light...

    The back lighting in the gauges in your A-pillar gauge pod work long before the actual gauges are hooked up.

    You have a dozen corporate logos even though you are not sponsored by any company.

    You cut 4 coil springs and scrape the chassis on the ground. Sparks are cool when you corner at normal traffic speeds!

    You have to find a way to drive AROUND speed bumps in a parking lot.

    You install clear corner and brake lights.

    You install colored bulbs in your aftermarket clear lenses.

    You ever put neon on the bottom of your car, and then busted it on the first speed bump you went over.

    You painted the UNDERBODY of your car to match

    If your rear spoiler is taller then you are.

    You have more stereo watts than engine torque.

    If your tailpipe extension is the most expensive mod you’ve done to your engine yet.

    Your tailpipe extension fell off during a quarter mile race and you went three tenths of a second faster due to weight savings.

    Every car in your class has a turbo pushing double digits worth of boost.

    You spent $5,000 on the engine and you can not out run a stock Camaro, Firebird, or Mustang

    You want the 'wastegate' sound, but don't want to install a turbocharger system.

    You think Nitrous Oxide on your Hyundai Sonata puts you in the same performance league as the Chevy Corvette.

    The automatic version of your car runs 2 seconds faster in the 1/4mile.

    If the 1970 Plymouth Daytona Superbird has a smaller spoiler than your car does.

    You think the Del Sol is a sports car...

    You think a deep farty noise = the sound of high performance

    If you think that horsepower is far more important than torque

    If you have ever claimed that switching to a cone filter has given you more than 5 HP.

    If you have ever considered installing more than one set of fog / driving lights.

    If you claim that the aftermarket cold air intake system you just installed doubled your horsepower or took 2 or more seconds off of your E/T.

    Your baseball cap is always on backwards when you drive (the first sign of mental retardation, wearing your clothes backwards... BE).

    You spent all night on the Internet trying to find a company that makes a turbocharger system for your Hyundai...

    If you removed your side view mirrors and put them at the TOP of the door / window frame.

    What's wrong with a turbo Hyundai? :confused:

    The Genesis coupe (coming next year) will come with Turbo I4 (based off of Elantra/Tiburon engine) or V6 and be RWD. Hyundai is really stepping up their game.

    It's old, but you'd be amazed how many morons still do these sort of things. Public stupidity never fails to amuse me. :D

    I wouldn't knock Hyundai's either. Dressing style does not reflect upon your car. In fact it's opposite. The car reflects upon you.

    Most audiophiles really are ricers. They don't know shit about cars. Hardly any of them do any of their own work.
