What exactly is a "Ricer" ?

[Kolton Lock]

Even canada isn't really an import. Doesn't have to cross any ponds.

Still an import.

I read an article a few months back and it said the most "American" cars were... wait for it.... Toyotas.

Its a helluva lot cheaper to ship the parts and assemble them in america than to ship over a whole car.
Makes sense

No Toyotas use the most parts made in America. GM still has assembly plants all over in America, but the parts are made in Mexico Canada or China.

A lot of Toyotas are also made in America.

No I was talking to Kolton.

What I ment was Toyotas parts are mostly made in the US not shipped in.

Not really. Its cheaper to assemble the cars in other countries because of the UAW.

There are American ricers too. They are not just cars from Asia.

Rice burners aren't..half the point to the joke is that they are Asain. Of course you can make any car have the ricer style.

You do realze Grand Prix's were made in Canada don't you?

Point was way before that happening and specifically to the Asian invasion as anything built in Canada was near the so called standards of living here in the US. Anyways... It's all water under the bridge now. I just wanted to point to the origination of the term and then dispelling that ridiculous political correctness of Race Inspired B/S... Lol

I've only seen GP's with body kits on cardomain. It's odd, because Grand Prixs are overly common here. (Sioux City, Iowa) At the same time, it's rare to see a Grand Prix without an F1 hood here aswell.

I've never seen a GP with an F1 hood anywhere in the tristate area

How could I miss this thread? lol.

Ricer
A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster
