...Was wondering about this "legit street racer"/ "ricers" phrase..."legit" meaning totally "illegal"?..."Racer" as in a "legend in their own mind" type?...

....Either way, they are an abomination and not worth the time of day...

(disclaimer I've had both Japanese bikes and Infiniti's so I've been a ricer as well but now back to 100% American to help support our automakers.)

There are certain Imports I like, and I can tell when a car is an Import that shouldn't be messed with, or a "ricer" that is all show and no go. This is how I feel every time I'm near a ricer:

yes, I know where the term came from. people joked that they burned rice alcohol instead of gas. but the definition your using is old and dated. for at least the last 20 years ricer has not meant that.

oh, and I already helped support our automakers with that taxpayer funded bailout
