I really REally hate Ricers

So there i was today on the way home from helping a friend with a flat out with two buddies in the car. And we notice this Gs-t convertible eclipse that we have all seen around the area, and he is a member of our local rice shop. He is trying to race everything that passes him, literally, some old woman in a corolla tried to pass him and he wouldn't let them by. So I just hang back and it ends up that we are at a light together: light goes green, and he kinda hesitates to see if I am goind to race, I just drive off normal, so he gets ****ed and floors it(btw he had three ppl. in his car as well). I am in the left lane and he is in the right, then He slows down and would not let me get over in the right lane for a good 5 miles, if i slowed to move over he matched it if I sped up he would drop a gear and take off.

So my buddy gives him the "golf clap" and says 'good kill you F**king ricer" as we are driving down the road. So then I have to get over and merge to the right in about a mile, and this ****smack still won't let me over. So I eventually get ahead of hime and cut him off so I can get over. The exit ramp ends at a light, and this time they pulled up on the drivers side. So I stick my head out the window and it goes like this:

ME: You boys got a f*cking problem
Ricer: yea you
me: what the F*ck did I do to you
Ricer: I heard you talking about my car at that light
Me: who gives a F*ck you were the one trying to race everything down the road, If you want to race take it to the track, you ricer
Ricer:Why would I want to race that slow pos
me: take it to commerce and I will show you how slow it is

As he speeds off when the light turns green.

so ppl. I just don't really understand, But he sure was "cool"

He's just cooler than you, you need practice.

Don't worry, he's probably got a small "y-pipe."

People like that need to get a life and stop harassing civil people like you and old ladies

I do the same thing. Cept it doesnt go on for long cause i smoke everythinig instantly, so no need to bother ppl after they get embarrased.










HEH. nah seriously, i know what ur saying and its annoying. I really have a thing for those ppl that chill in the passing lane then when they see someone comming around them they find the gas pedal all of the sudden.

i hate those kind of people at least my car is faster than most of thiers so i will speed up faster than them and cut them off.

My car doesn't get much attention because it's stock, but every once in awhile I get some retard buzzing around me after they see my chrome ORG license plate frame. I usually just let them go. But if it gets to the point of them cutting me off I drop to 2nd and am around them so fast that their heads spin. I love doing that. And they usually don't mess with me after that either.

You gotta love them eclipse owners. I ran four so far with turbos. Look on their faces as I am pulling really hard away from them: "PRICELESS"

Common sense if no one wants to run then he should have gone about his business, freaking idiot.
Senseless people

I've never understood that. When the light turns green, they burn rubber and think they are going so fast...until they stop at the next red light 50 yards away.

well the reason that i didn't race him is that I don't want any more sh*t on my record, which has never been very good. I had a reckless ticket a while back so I have calmed down since and realized the purpose of racing at the track. I also recently lost a friend to street racing. I guess you could say I have matured. I would just like to teach the younger crowd earlier, but I guess they must learn the hard way just as I did. But anyway some ppl. just don't understand things, they are just too ignorant. I would love to race him and shut his a$$ up at the track but I refuse to do it on the road, no matter how hard they try.

D*mn ricers

GS-T Convertable huh.. Any guy driving a FWD version of an AWD platform which is convertable to boot doesn't have much to talk about. OH well there are losers in every group of car owners out there.

Since my "y-pipe" is larger than normal I don't need to prove a point by racing ricers. Wait I need a tranny. Oh well. That guy needs a bigger y-pipe to go with his stock muffler.

I thought Mitsubishi never made a turbo eclipse convertible? Maybe he just put the gs-t emblems on there.

If possible, keep some Taco Bell hot sauce packets in your glove box, and when you encounter another ricer wannabe proceed immediately in front of the vehicle and have your passenger tear the packets and throw them out the window (or better yet, the sunroof), allowing them to explode on the ricer's windshield behind you. The faster you are going the better it works.

Harsh but a good idea, 02MaximizedVQ. Most people that have behavior like this shouldn't own cars. And people like this give imports a bad name.

I think the windshield wiper fluid-sprayer (?) mod is better.

That's the way I would have handled it.

I'm just surprised you guys are attracting so much attention with your humble 4-doors, unless you are wildly modded.


Then again I wouldn't be surprised if a member here has tried to entice an M3 (or cars of that level) and thought the guy was a pu$$y because he didn't bite. Who's the a$$hole ricer now?

Happens all the time. If they want to waste their gas like that, they can go right ahead. Gas prices are expensive you know.

Another funny thing. When you do race them and beat them, you slow down to normal driving speed and they just fly by you.
