And a domestic. Looks like this guy went down the auto accessory aisle at K-Mart and bought everything. And yes, I know it is a fake Cobra.

Ah, I was expecting something more along the lines of the coffee can exhaust. You know, once I wondered what all the rice boys thought was so great about these, so I decided to "experiment" with an old can I found in the shop. I punched a hole in it and stuck it on my pipe and fired it up. It sounded horrible! It made this mechanical whining sound. I ripped it off and threw it across the shop

I gotta admit, some of the more "simple" ricers are cool looking, but the kinds with the huge wings and all that other garb I think are overkill and defeat any purpose they're supposed to have. Oh well, around here the theory is, "Dont air bag it, SAND bag it!"

Ugliest mo-fo'in cars. Usually you see kids in those kinda cars, driving one handed with their seat lowered and all the way back. Some people just don't have any taste.

When my brother was in the Marines, he had a Chevette he paid $900 for and promptly installed a $2000 stereo. Sorry, the paint was fine on the car and no ghetto wire wheels.

How about a car with a spoiler on the roof? Note the ground effects made from rain gutters.

My younger brother

...went through a stage were he would spend thousands of hard earned dollars souping up 10 year old 4 cyl. compact import cars, that he purchased for @$1000. I am glad to see that he has outgrown this stage, and I am also glad to see that others share in my pain when I see horrible spoilers and racing accessories on Yugos.

Yes, I even printed out some rice tickets and put them on a few cars. I really hate the Altezza/clear tail trend. Totally

Thumbs down Here's a bad american ricer I found in NY

I think it was a Neon. I flew by him, and then slowed down to get the pic. I am seeing more bad ricers everywhere.

Although, It's great to destroy these cars in races. My car is still a sleeper (except the exhaust).
