Why is that? Because I don't view this whole thing the same way you do?

Hmm. Maybe I should broaden my opinions.
Admittedly, that's the first image that pops into my head too...and here in NJ there's no shortage of Civics with installed but unpainted fiberglass body kits, front rims that look different than the back rims, erector set spoilers and the required fart can.

But ricers are also well-known for false-badging their rides as well. Like this website says, you don't have to drive a Japanese car to be a ricer in spirit:

This site is old, but there's some pretty serious offenders there.

Buddy!
That - not "behind his back"! I specifically wrote, tmerkle111 - the guy who asked the owner personally.
I'm sorry. I still speak bad English!
There are no claims to your topic and to you personally.

Hey, guys. Stupid Russian wanted to say that tmerkle111 - the Real Man.
I admit that I was "burro", crawl into my den burning with shame, that was my fault the innocent suffer.

You're English is just fine Andrey, some things just get lost in translation, we know what you mean.

Все - хороший Андрей, если только мой русский язык был столь же хорош как ваше схватывание английского языка.

LOL, I knew this thread would be 'great'. geg, if it make you feel any better, I speak pretty good english and I still feel misunderstood. Us Americans enjoy a little 'trash talking' sometimes.
