The civic and the bumblebee
I was on the freeway today and saw a yellow cavalier coming up behind me in my side mirror. It had a HUGE front under lip spoiler. I mean this thing was wider than the car and had a huge platform/flat part that came out from it. I can only imagine his lame excuse as to why he had that on there. "so i can scoop up all the honeys yo!".
I hear the car coming as it gets closer, since it's making a buzzing noise. It is some form of exhaust, however, this asspuppet has it coming out from under his bumper at about a 45 Degree angle. What aerodynamic purpose this serves I'll never know, but I'm sure there's some ricer reason I haven't thought of that he would use to explain it. I have no idea who is driving yet cuz my distraction is more turned towards the pink vinyl body stickers lining the entire length of the car's sides.
Even more noticable is the HUGE spider web of cracks in his windshield. I will assume he used his insurance money for the windshield to buy the ugly custom bumper from auto zone.
I let him go by, and move in behind him in the left lane. I now notice two passengers. Two guys. And the passenger keeps looking over his shoulder at me and my car. Not sure what that means, but I now fear for my life, since I'm wondering if the pink vinyl stickers are somehow contagious.
Some stupid minivan is in the left lane going 60 in a 65. What's worse is traffic in the right lane is going 55. After a while, the van in front of him blocking our blistering pace moves over to let us pass. (I guess the van was afraid of breaking into warp speed) The cavalier not only down shifts, but he floors it and tries to take off. I downshift my little vic to 3rd, and off I go after him. He slows down a bit once I move over, and waits for me. I keep it in 3rd and go as he does. I get a little jump because his auto tranny gives quite an indication it is attempting to downshift. I pull slowly. And ever more slowly.
And I pull slowly. Til my civic reaches almost 105.
Out of frustration of losing, or fear of his car imploding, the other guy slows down. I make my exit and there is nothing more of this encounter. First kill for the vic. No S2000, but she holds her own. And she looks good too! I'll have to post some pics later.

A few members here have had the pleasure of driving through wisconsin at one point or another, and have also stated they can't believe the crap we have here. Believe me, I see ricey cars EVERY DAY. They are everywhere. We're not exactly a big "mod" state. Yeah you can find decent cars and modded vehicles, but the ricey crap by far outweighs the real tuners.

If it'll make you feel better, the next time I go home, I'll bolt on a 5 ft. wing on my dad's CL and come race you.

Yea its so aggrivating, i mean its cool racing cars that actually give you compitition i mean lord knows the Cary area has massive amounts of Z3's, RSX's, M3's, and so on....but i rarely get a chance to demolish rice cars, or just flat out laugh at them, i mean ive gotten a few but not many...... 
you would have to throw on a fart can exhaust and put on a sideways visor to accomplish the title or ricer.

If you are looking for Ricer's just come to Austin - there are so many its bordline ridiculous. I killed off a ricer in a Spyder last Friday - he did have a turbo but I beat his ass...didn't even realize that I had the AC on 
Anyway that night my friend and I were just cruising down the highway and a SAAB blows by me...then later I thought I was in F&F when we were leaving the bars downtown - there were like 4-5 civics and an acura all on the same road as me with their fart exhausts making all kinds of noise. Fortunately for them I was going a different direction at the light and didn't make em look like the stupid idiots they are. I still laughed my ass off at em though
Seriously though - I've really noticed loads of Ricer's in austin lately..WTF
