Looks like the movement ***** once again moved another thread for apparently no reason. Do they do it because they're bored? What real harm is there in leaving them where they are?

I started a conversation about rice challengers and many people got offended.
My def of a ricer is a japanese badged car no matter if it is made in the US or not. The profit goes back to Japan.
Ricer is also a car with a fart can on the tail pipe, a shopping cart handle on the trunk, and a dip-stick in a white hat (backwards) and an earring.
Since buying the M GT I've noticed a lot of ricers pulling up and spewing the fart can trying to get a race.
So what is your def of a ricer?

When live in a time where people have nothing better to do than monitor everything in our society and find something political incorrect about it. We've become a nation overly concerned about sensitivity and not sensibility.

The term rice burner or rice car refers to automobiles that have the appearance of high performance but possibly with little or no functional mechanical modifications. The "rice" refers to the fact that many of these modified cars are of Japanese origin and owners or drivers are often (but not necessarily) Asian. Drivers of rice burners are known as "ricers" or "rice boys". These terms are often used as a pejorative or ethnic slur.

Ok, I'm going to make this real easy. Rice means one thing and one thing only.
Ridiculous

Therefore, although it is most common to see Rice on Honda Civics or other Japanese imports, it can and does occur elsewhere including countless Saturns, Cavaliers, Neons, Probes, and yes....even Mustangs.
It doesn't matter if it is foreign or domestic in name or in reality - any car can be Rice, and chances are if the car was produced in a number greater than 100, someone, somewhere has already done something to earn the label.
Uncle Ben might not be invited to your table, but rest assured he is eating at the same restaurant.

ricer is any import that has stupid mods like the shopping cart handle and such, here is a good poem to define a ricer with
A Christmas Carol (03 Cobra vs. Evolution Lancer)
Twas the night before Christmas and out on the street,
Nothing was moving, not even a Jeep.
All was still with nothing in sight,
Then what to my wandering eyes did I see,
But a Mustang SVT alone at a light.
The moonlight glistened off my wing, oh so gay.
My import was ready to show ‘em the way.
I had some NOS on my tiny motor,
I would beat that stang with its Eaton supercharger.
I pulled along side and revved up with a fart,
Pointed to the wing on my gay shopping cart.
The light turned green, I was off like a jolt,
While the SVT filled the night sky with smoke.
I called to my EVO’s 4 pistons,
On basher, on crasher, on smasher, and the one knocking,
Onward faster let’s finish the slaughtering.
The engine did rev, I was ready for action,
But just at that moment the Mustang caught traction.
With a grin on his face, and a gleam in his eye,
Like a shot from a cannon the SVT went by.
He blew by so fast, he spun me round twice.
I knew at that moment I was freshley fried rice.
He held up one finger as he drove into the night,
All I saw was dimming taillights.
But I heard him exclaim as he roared outta sight
“You stupid ricer, you can’t beat Blue Oval dynamiteâ€

That's the definition I've always followed, and it can most certainly apply to non-japanese cars. Neons in particular.

There are many indicators of rice. Contrary to popular belief, rice is not exclusive to Japanese cars, although it is more prevalent. Here are some factors:
Exhibit A
1. Gigantic rear wing/spoiler (see Exhibit A and C)
1a. Gigantic rear wing/spoiler on a front wheel drive. A rear spoiler provides downforce to the rear wheels, thus providing additional traction to rear-wheel drive cars. This is obviously not useful for front wheel drive cars.
Exhibit B
2. Stupid looking body kit (see Exhibit B and A). Made even worse when the color of the body kit does not match up with the rest of the car.
Exhibit C
Excellent case. The fart can is the kicker.
3. Moronically large exhaust tips (see Exhibit C and D). Most rice burners don't even have true dual exhaust.
Exhibit D
Exhibit E
4. Decals/graphics that make you want to die (see Exhibit D). Also hilarious is when a car has a decal from another car (see Exhibit E). FYI, Eclipse is Mitsubishi, Sebring is Chrysler.
I should also mention neon undercarraige lights, those gawdawful LED windshield wipers, poorly planned audio systems that rattle instead of thump, SPINNAHS, and the almighty Playstation-in-Headrest.
I do like many Japanese cars, such as the Supra, WRX, EVO, MR2 (older versions), etc. However, I do love to laugh at rice.

My definition of a 'Rice' is any mod done to a car (whether foreign or domestic) that gives an appearance for performance, but does not serve any functional use. I mean no disrespect to Asian's...since I'm half myself , nor to cars made in the far-east..cause there are some darn nice ones. But blatantly calling all Japanese/Korean/etc. vehicles 'rice' because of their place of origin is rather narrow-minded and racist :angry:
Rice Examples:
Putting huge spoilers on FWD cars (Civic, Neon, etc.), Cobra/SVT badges on non SVT cars, Type-R/V-TEC sticker on Civics/Acura's.
One of my favorite sites:

Before I bought my Mustang and began spending time on this and another Mustang site I had never heard the term rice. I was certainly aware of the cars that sported all the so called ricer attributes but I just shrugged and called them hideous, vulgar, annoying, etc.I still do since my friends are not into cars at all.
Is the term racist? Yeah, I suppose so, but it doesn't upset me in the least.

The term "rice" does have some racist connotation to it, especially when used in the wrong context, which, unfortunately some people, who don't know the difference between "rice" and fast imports, use too profusely. I'll even admit to using the term "rice" on a regular basis as well and I am Asian (100% full-blooded Filipino) but at least I use it in the right meaning. To me, RICE refers to cars, which happens to be mostly imports (but some can be domestics as well, including Mustangs, Camaros, Neons, Cavaliers, etc) that are modded ridculously without any performance in mind. I think the most politically correct term would be "bling" since these cars have nothing but looks in mind.

Saw this joke once:
What do you tell a Ricer with 2 black eyes?
Nothing, you've told him twice already.
