"Ricer" is a mindset, attitude and set of actions that transcends make, model and drive wheels.


A car with many stickers for parts that are not on it is rice.

A noisy exhaust, lowered, non functioning spoiler/wing, screw on rear diffuser but otherwise stock car that just goes to work is rice (mildly, but still rice).

LOL - struggling to define "rice" or "ricer" while at the same time trying to change the definition of "sports car".

Yeah, I read the whole thread and laughed out loud (sometimes called LOLing) at all the opinions being stated as fact.

And once again, no one but you is calling an FWD Honda a "sports car."

I typically cook rice all the time, and eat it almost every time I cook it. Sometimes I also have to go places, so I take my rice into my car and drive to where I need to go.

So if rice == cooked and rice then is == inside 86, does that then make my 86 == containing rice attributes?? Aka "rice, riced, ricer, rice god"?

Well, if a "ricer" is somebody that's NOT using or modify their car for the intended purposes. That means 50% of us are probably a ricer.. No make that 90%..

Depends. Steamed? Fried? White? Brown? Long grain? Short grain? Wild? Balsamic? Uncle Ben's?


Damnit now we can't even define actual rice!

Yep. That is how I look at it at any rate even though I know most will not agree.
I am a full fledged ricer. In fact I used my own car as the qualifier in my third example and fully admit to myself that I am of the Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements crowd.

So would rust proofing the car be rice if it's still summer? It adds to the car cosmetically and has no purpose unless its winter
