VTEC guy can't be real surely, wasn't that a Viper he was mouthing off about? If it's real that's hilarious.

Only disagree on the cosmetic mod portion, some of those "tuner" cars wouldn't have had the performance to back up the looks which spells out rice to me. Particularly the slammed civics and the like.

I agree with you for the most part, but some cosmetic mods do truly enhance the look of the car.

I just noticed the stickers on the windshield, if it were riding a bit higher, and didn't stretch the tires, it would be okay.

Damn.. Why does Toronto have all the "nice" cars? We got nothing over here in Ottawa.

(Except for a bagged Jetta I saw at the dealership I worked at.)

Was this made by a 12 year old?

Also, anyone have a link to the source for thst last d-bag? That looks funny

all of the rich foreign students pay their way into UFT, not UO.

that, and we have the nextmod and ERTEFA here that do crazy amounts of marketing. though after this summer, I get the feeling ERTEFA is dead.

they had 1 meet, and so many ricers and idiots showed up they had to cancel it. anyone who showed up next week got tickets. even at the first show, cops handed out like 500 tickets. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF WHICH was deserved IMO

For a 12 year-old, it's pretty damn good.

I'm sure I saw the last guy somewhere on the 'tubes a while back, no link.

Yeah that was the funny part. Even the first definition they show could apply to most the stanced rice (Race Inspired Car Enhancements) cars that we see in the web, the only difference is the money they have. And those are actually most of the examples he gives for whats a tuner. That green Evo and the blue s2000 with the wing... pathetic.

I'm in agreement with this video except the cosmetic mods. They just showed ricers without starship body kits. Slammed and extreme camber? Yeah, no.

I wasn't impressed. Felt like a kid arguing that he's better with weak evidence at best.

A few examples: tuners sound good? Most of those sounded mediocre. 1/4 mile times as a sign of driver skill? Nice try. Tuners look good? Sorry, slamming a car with excessive camber does not make a good 'tuner'.

Just enjoy the cars you enjoy without trying to justify it like this.

Looking at the wheels in the reflection it looks like one of these:

Which explains the "You couldn't even afford a Corvette" comment. Which is funny, since nowadays there isn't much, if any, difference in price between the 2.

Ah I saw the chrome wheel reflection and thought this. Either way unless the Civic had a lot of work done (it clearly hadn't judging by the cheapo tyres that couldnt put down any power) both of these cars couldve smoked him.

It could have been, that's just my guess. Plus, it could have just been me hearing things, but I swear I heard a cammed V8.

I think I'm done with the whole hating on Ricer thing. I've met a few "Ricers" and after talking with them I'm ok with people focusing on cosmetic mods. If people want to build a show car that is fine with me. Plus running your mouth doesn't make you a Ricer, it makes you an arsehole and boy has my time on Jalopnik taught me that arseholes come in all shapes and sizes.

And the camaro would make more sense since its a lot more common.

I think you're taking this far too seriously. Further, I don't believe it was meant as "justification," I mean with the music selected and the entire set up you have to know they're poking fun and it's designed to make you laugh.

Overall it was fairly accurate, the one major exception being that orange Civic you pointed out, as slammed is always stupid.

"Ricers will run...BARLEY" This guy needs to proof-read more; I may have to call him a "ricer" with regards to his use of the English language.

As with anyone who brings up "race inspired cosmetic enhancements", I'll say that's a stretch at acronyms the way "fixed or replaced daily" or "just empty every pocket" are. Rice comes from a derogatory term for Asian (particularly Japanese) imports: rice burner. Rice fuels the people, rice fuels the cars. (I don't intend to offend, but I'll apologize in case I do. Sorry.) How the term has spread to encapsulate a category of low-dollar low-quality low-purpose modifications should be obvious after the release of the Fast and Furious franchise.

Your source is a joke! You don't even know what your own city's skyline looks like? Shameful. That red S2000 is from Houston.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The car is cleanly done, despite being too low for my tastes. It's mainly displayed as a show car.

The car (last pic in this comment) is definitely a more street-friendly ride height now and likely gets much more street time then before. It's also turbocharged.

As for the stickers, it's a show car. Sponsors and crap.

I assumed it was an angle I didnt see before. fact that the shots immediately after were from a cruise I went to didnt help.

and there is actually a red S2k here thats (more or less) identical. (thought thinking about it it might have had Volks not works)

Check out my reply in response to peter's original comment on this thread. That red S2000 is a completely different car now!

Take a pic next time, I can probably identify what's up with the car.

...although I don't scroll through oppo often, so I may not catch it.
