Default Bye Bye Acura

I was driving my 2001 Z with the T tops off minding my own business when all of a sudden this black Acura cuts in front of me whining his engine. You know the type. IL-4 with a coffee can muffler and big wing. So with a great sense of duty I followed in on a right hand turn then proceeded to draft him with ease for about 100ft. Then I gunned it and as I was passing him I made sure to communicate to him to have a nice day. It almost hurt my ears when he gunned his car. Those things makes tons of noise.

Be careful, you were lucky he didn't have a fire extinguisher on the dash, or he'd of smoked you.

Especially if it was a chrome one. Like at Wal-Mart the other day
I saw they have a little ricer section now; big aluminum wing in a
box ("Street Metal!" shouts the brand name) and chrome $49.95
fire extinguisher sitting below the fart-cans. I guess I screwed up
getting a $13 red one for the trunk. Prob'ly lost a tenth at least.

If I spent all that money
and was only half fast,
I'd be furious too.

Hmmm... bumper stickers, anyone?

The PepBoy's by me (autoparts store, dunno if they are nationwide, I think they are however) ... just changed the arrangement of the store. They now have an entire isle devoted to Ricer BS ... all the neon lights, glowing pedals, florecent orange shift boots, etc. The funny part of this, is that one end of the isle is blocked off with an endcap full of merch, so you can only go in and out one way. The other end of the isle actually has a trip buzzer, like when you enter a small store and it beeps loudly. Obviously they have a huge problem with the ricers stealing the stickers ....

There's a place near me in levittown, ny called "rayco 4" I believe. I call it "ricer 4". I did some recon in there a while back. I was sick to my stomach- wings, benches, coffee cans, stickers, more stickers, neons, more stickers, 400 inch rims, you name it they have it. Every time I pass the place you think they are filming a new "slow and ridiculous" movie. Ricers abound. One air strike and you eliminate half the ricer population.

Speaking of stickers....my neighbor has a huge *** Silverado thats lifted like 18 inches and rides on 42 inch super swampers, and since he has an utter hatred for rice, he was very proud to place the sticker "This truck eats Acuras and ***** Hondas" right across his back window. I would do the same but it wouldnt add HP to my car like it does to ricers. Oh well

I'm not sure if you know already or not, but in the spring time a whole bunch of us from the site are heading to englishtown ... you should join us. Good to see some more New yawka's on this board, as it's populated mostly by texas **** ....

Right now, I'm living in Hicksville. I'd love to go to E-Town. Hopefully I'll have a couple of key mods in by then.

Great sounds like a plan ... we haven't set an exact date yet, but I'm sure it will be sometime in may or so when everyone is out of school (bunch of damn college kids, ug) and work ... since I believe Englishtown's Test and Tune is friday during the day.
We'll keep it posted dont worry.

Texas **** huh. and we only have faster LS1 and LS6 powered vehicles here in our great state because of what. im just messing with ya. i hope that is average to a little above average truck with that 18 in lift. you see many trucks like that here in our great state. the last truck we built was a custom lift, (36 inches actually) we had enough lift to sit 62 in michelin tractor tires on the truck.

here is a cool golf cart
