The Ricer Review

Part One

The term "Ricer" refers to someone who's car is all show and no go. Lumped into this category are the extravagant cars of the fabled, timeless classic, "The Fast and the Furious". Cars which are weighed down by elaborate body kits and and spoilers big enough to land a plane on. Cars with completely stock engines and $10,000 invested in the exterior. Cars with ridiculous paint jobs, gobs of performance stickers, and giant mufflers.

Allow me to provide an example:

Here we have a Toyota Camry. This 92 horsepower grocery-getter has been adorned with bright yellow stickers, fog lights, stickers for performance parts it doesn't have, cheap after market wheels, and the cherry on the sundae: The giant spoiler.





In days to come, I'll be posting cars I see from around town, and those which I find on the internet, in effort to belittle and shame their owners.
