A word which is used to describe a car and/or the drivers mentality. A R.I.C.E. car, Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements, is a car that is all show and no go with a driver who seems to think otherwise. You can usually spot a ricer by listening for a loud sound similar to a lawn mower and seeing a car with many colored body panels because they wrecked or a body kit that serves no function except to pu drag on the car. Real body kits help with a cars aerodynamics.

A ricer mentality is just that, the mentality of a driver. Unfountunatly this can occur in drivers of even the best, non-rice automobiles. Usually because they have rich parents who buy them whatever they want, AKA, yuppies. You can usually spot drivers who have this horrible disease by how they act or what they do to their car. Say if they try to race you in a parking lot of your workplace with a Silver VW Hatchback just out of the blue when you are in a rush to get home, then they are ricers in a nice non-rice car. And in this case, too inept to know how to race.
RICE car: Car with a super large wing even though it is FWD, dual exhaust for one cylinder bank(if not stock from factory), oversized chrome rims which drag on the car, bodykit that does nothing but put more drag on the car, stickers for parts not even on the car, that was lowered improperly via heating the coil springs or using shorter springs but not setting the camber right.

Ricer Mentality: Guy/Girls who think their car can beat anything and don't have any idea of its limitations(meaning they don't know how to handle their car but think they do and criticize others who do know what they are doing). Anybody who doesn't even know how to race even on a legal stretch of pavement(search youtube for "sad ricers drag racing fail")
