Default Ricer Interogation

Had my first experience with what i believe was a ricer. IDK im assuming he was because of his 2 foot tall 6 foot long SRT.4 Sticker on both sides, and numerous other "performance" stickers.

I was driving around minding my own business, and i'm coming to a stop at a light, and i see him flying up behind me. He imediately pulls over in the lane next to me, but is one car behind me. Reving his car to all hell, i could hear a blow off valve. This may have been a legit car, i have no idea. I'll be the first to admit that i like those little neons sometimes, but the huge decal just made me think "what an idiot" and because of that, i didnt even pay him any attention. He wanted me to follow him on to the freeway, but i just kept on my way.

I know this isnt a street racing story, but its the first time i ever experienced it. Usually these guys leave me alone cause my car, even though its a z28, is so plain looking. i think most people just assume its slow and dont bother. Thats what i like about it.

You should have rolled down the window and asked "Hey, is that an SRT- 4?"

Don't ya know? Each sticker adds on another 25 h.p. before the tune. I've got ordered a good 50. I doubt I'll ever need that much horsepower, so if anyone needs a few, let me know.

I ordered "mulletmobile", "white trash", one that reads "Officer, I'm only speeding because I'm outta PBR", and I'm in the process of ordering any others that show the F-Body stereotype.

Thats a matter of opinion, I think that they look fine. Much better looking than the comparable cobalt IMO...

Nevermind the fact that stickers on a car looks dumb, but I especially can't stand when the sticker names the car it is on. Like we don't know what kind of car that is. Guy sounds like a douche, and this is coming from another neon driver.
