Ugh. White trash ricers. You know what I'm talking about, the 3-shades-of-primer grey late-80's Accord with the fart can and "RIP Paul Walker" painted on the hood.

Even better when they have obvious engine failure like a leaking head gasket blowing plumes of blue smoke out the tail pipe.

Sooo many of those around me. Usually a Prelude with blown piston rings and an obnoxious 4" fart cannon that sounds like a chainsaw in a 6' diameter culvert.

And the Monster energy drink stickers and the EBay projector/LED headlights...

I never got the appeal of fart cans its like trying to make your car obnoxiously loud without any benefit to performance. My RSTi is going to be loud as hell when its done but that's because its running a straight pipe exhaust and isn't going to be meant to drive on the road, just for racing.

I agree with the level of aggravation, but I don't know how I feel about the 'white trash' thing.

Wife beater and backwards baseball cap with the sticker still on.

Hey, at least it's OK to make racial comments about them. Be thankful for that.

I don't get it either. They're usually not fast at all. Oh, and very few of them ever tune the suspension anywhere near right. They just cut the coils and leave the stock shocks, so they just bounce all over the place.

Or remove the suspension all together and loose any reasonable ground clearance. I had a Civic cut across my lane in front of me into a gas station parking lot. he had floored it like an idiot and the entrance to the parking lot had a nice sharp incline and he ended up taking off his front bumper and getting stuck. I just kept driving laughing my ass off.

My friends saw some Civic that was poorly hellaflushed, with a bent beam for the rear axle, spewing black smoke. My friends were in a '94 Sentra running on 3 cylinders, and while accelerating gently they could keep up with the Civic that sounded like it was at full throttle.

Yeah. I always feel bad for those cars, they seem like they're just begging to be put out of their misery.

Agreed. I will never understand how this term made it into the common vernacular. Where I grew up, if you called someone "white trash," you were basically picking a fight. I still find it plenty offensive, though I wouldn't consider it on par with those "other" ethnic racial slurs. That's probably because I usually hear it or see from people who've never been around a person who might actually qualify for the label.
