Rice



Not rice



A clean tasteful car isn't rice imo, at least that's the way I view it.

It doesn't bother me when people call my car rice though because it's typically coming out of the mouth of someone with a 14 second stock car that they couldn't change the spark plugs on. The biggest shit talkers are typically the least knowledgeable.

The Term "Ricer" is used because Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Toyota, etc.. is from asia. and we asian people like to eat rice. thats why they call it ricer cars because its an asian car.

Its actually kinda racist.

It started with Asian cars, but it evolved to a style that can be used on any car, regardless of the country of origin.

To me, tasteless non-functional 'race inspired' mods on economy cars has always been rice. For example, a stock Supra is not rice. A Civic with a stock powertrain, body kit, fart can, and huge spoiler is.

They are both rice !!
My car makes 650 rwhp naturally aspirated, care to guess on the 1/4 time?

the reason you dont consider it rice is because you own it but its rice none the less.. it was a deragatory term back in the day, at least thats how it was used and to a good extent is used today...

Its foreign vs domestic and will always be that way.....

That Evo is not rice IMO. Looks like a race car. Too many stickers for my taste, but I am sure it has the performance to back it up.

Ok, so 'rice' can be an adjective AND a noun.

We are getting somewhere I think.

You got it !...LOL
Two different meanings depending on how its spelled


Sorry charlie the Evo is 100% rice even though it is not riced out.. good looking car to some and tastefully done yes.. but it eats rice none the less..

I think some of you kids just dont realize its (rice) a term referring to the country of origin.. ricer is a term referring to the way a car looks

From the article posted above. lmao

Ricers are all about excessive automotive expression by any means unnecessary. Letting everyone know how cool your car is because of the, mostly useless (or obnoxious), upgrades you have made is the goal. Its like being a “diet car enthusiast”; you get to act like you know your stuff and have a cool car, but without putting forth the money and effort to actually have the real thing. So at this point you may be thinking, “Wow that’s so neat, but how can I become a full fledged ricer myself?” The answer may be simpler than you’d think.

I guess. I've known some pretty smart car guys who dog Ricers. But it would make sense. Most car guys can at least respect performance when they see it.

For the longest time I was uncomfortable saying it because I felt that way. I'd hear it said and not want to be part of the conversation but it became so accepted even with the Asians that I figured it was understood that no harm was intended.

So then Rice and Ricer can be two seperate things?

Just so you all know, I have friends that are "tuners" the nicer term and we go on drives together.. All of them and myself included appreaciate power and respect each others tastes... Kind of funny when you see a Camaro and Evo and SRT4 club going to the beach for an icecream but its who we are.. I respect their cars even though I would not be caught dead in one and they all love the Camaro.. ricers and domestics can get along, its individual respect thats all.

Good freind of ours and me and Bonnie went to NOPI every year at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in Sept. and Bonnie and Destiny would do the smimsuit contest and Brent would enter his car (Nissan 300Z) in the show. So I'd spend a lot of time looking for the small handful of domestics and was always disappointed when I realized there weren't many at all. It was mainly an import show. Not sure why.

I felt kinda bad that I just wasnt' interested in it even though I tried. Brent was into it, I just wasn't. I saw some cool stuff and the weekend was always fun but I wanted the muscle cars. lol We'd do the Panama City show 'Spring Fling' and I'd have a much funner time.

It's not a domestic vs import thing, it's a stylistic waste of money thing. Rice vs ricer doesn't have a different meaning a ricer is someone who owns a car that's riced out. If the term just means Japanese than it's useless for descriptive purposes.

How would you describe these cars?





So these are ricey cars owned by ricers, but they're not rice? Riiiiight. That makes perfect sense.

Most people seem to agree.

I think you just hit the Nail on his head. "Import"

Rice or Ricer to me is the same thing, but you can only call rice or ricer to a car with the characteristics discussed on page 1.
But "Import" would be the proper way to call any asian car that is not riced or ricer.

Yeah I'm not going to argue with you but our are wrong.
Rice is an old old term.. and was deragatory remark to call out a japaneese car .. then the asian car mfg market expanded and the term was used to call out any asian car..

ricer is a person and riced out is what you posted pictures of...
Whether you appreciate the style or think its a waste of money deosnt matter, I am correct....

Rice ricer and riced out... but the original term rice simply meant a japaneese car..


But answer your question I would call those cars hideous and stupid.. only one looks like a ricer the other is I dont know what but my guess is it was in Miami
