That Plymouth Neon that circles around the mall blasting his music trying to get peoples attention only to be for sale a few weeks later cause the kid got laughed at so much. A car that is constantly neutral dropped and looks like it belongs on mars.
Look out the neon is coming in for a landing! HAHA thats so rice

All of that extra stuff on that civic makes it weigh so much more..I was in his car once and he had the pedal mashed to the floor and the stock 4 door civic with the old guy in it still passed him. Its so rice.

He gets worse gas mileage in his 4000 pound civic automatic.

Get the Ricer mug.
Any Asian car, with numerous asthetic modifications.
Gerenally contains numerous brand stickers, none of the parts made by the brand may be installed in the car.
The car must also not be worth the money spent on it.
Look at that guy in that civic, What a ricer.

(Latin term: to suck at every and anything)

The Car Guy definition: Mostly a non-car guy, who only got his "tuner inspiration" from fast & furious 1 - 4, and has form over function; to make a car LOOK faster than it truely is.
Even though he has visuals mods (spoiler/wing, exhaust, bodykit, etc), they do not function properly, especially when their car is slower and have terrible aerodynamics than what is expected.

And even when they do talk with Tuners and Sleepers, they have no knowledge at least on how to tune their car, making an embarrassment of their conversation.

*They don't need to necessarily keep on getting bullied for being a ricer, but just help them go on the right path of being an official, proper Tuner*
There are 4 types of Ricers:
1. Regular Ricer: Bought themselves a car that would be expected from any other car guy (ex: Subaru WRX STI, Mitsubishi Evolution), but focuses on showing their character from stickers and other visuals than tuning the car to make it perform better.
2. "Underground" Ricer: Bought themselves a car that is likely an Japanese Import (ex: Honda Civic Type R E9K, Mazda Miata Mk. 1), puts on the most insane things on the car to make it MORE COOLER THAN FASTER. This is worser than the Regular Ricer*
3. Rich Ricer: Bought themselves the supercar of their dreams (ex: Ferrari 458, Lamborghini Aventador), but mixes some traits of the "Underground" Ricer: puts on metallic wrap (sometimes crystal studded), ugly kits, HUGE Exhausts, and definitely neons
4. D.I.Y Ricer: Mostly poor, has a car from his mom or other relative (ex: Hyundai Elantra, Honda Accord, Nissan Maxima), only has the supplies in his home to make his car "look fast" but indeed is the most awful thing to the eyes. Just don't be this guy

the common ricer is known to have a shit car with only cosmetic modifications no performance mods cosmetic such as body kits to lower their car turbo whistles and much cutting of their exhaust or adding a fart can, huge spoilers or "wangs". Ricers thinks their car is fast and can hit 3.34 seconds on the quarter mile. Their shitbucket cars will include badges that don't belong on their car. Ricers are a disgrace to car community. But Ricers arent just Japanese imports they can be any car (dodge neons, chargers, challenger, gtr, lambos, ferrari's) Anything.
Cars that look fast but are not with a lot of cosmetic mods are Ricers

A car that appears to be fast, but can be beat in a race by a 2010 Hyundai i30.
Dude, that Volvo S40 looked fast because of the hood scoop and spoiler, but under the hood, that thing is a ricer!
