This is the first in our new series of public service announcements. With this series we hope to raise the public’s awareness on automotive issues that may be often overlooked. Hope you enjoy the series, and that maybe you’ll learn a thing or two along the way.

Rice, it can happen anywhere, at anytime. You have to be on a constant vigil against rice or it may happen to you. It usually starts with looking at the new Honda and saying, “You know what? That’s a good looking and economical car. I think I shall buy it.” Then you start hanging out with the wrong crowd. You know, the guys over at the Honda forums or Hyundai Drivers Association and you see how much “cooler” their cars are than your stock car. BAM! Out of nowhere, rice happens.
So how do you know if it’s happened to you? For your convenience we’ve assembled a gallery of images from across the interweb to aid you in your diagnosis.
So you still can’t tell if rice has happened yet or not? Then keep reading…
You want that new performance exhaust, but you don’t have the cash, so instead you buy the cheap fart can exhaust. Next thing you know you’ve got a 3 foot tall spoiler and hundreds of stickers! And now you’re thinking I’m pretty fly and I’ve got a sweet ride. But NO, NO it’s not, you really look like these guys. —>
Next thing you know, your girl friend leaves you because … well you look like those guys. And you probably own a monster tach that gives you at least an extra 10hp, but you wouldn’t know because you’ve never been to a dyno, and you’re not real sure what one is. Then you lose your job at Taco Smell because you kept staring longingly out the drive-thru at your Riced out Tiburon and your parents won’t speak to you anymore because they’ve gone deaf from that high pitched screech your Integra’s body kit now makes as it scrapes along the pavement when you pull in to the driveway.
You’re all alone now. It’s just you and your riced out Toyota, you have no friends and you can’t pick up any chicks because for some reason they all laugh you as you drive by. And you just can’t figure out why. Then maybe, just maybe, rice happened. So what’s the cure? I recommend 5 gallons of gasoline and a match. It’s really the only effective way to put that poor car out of it misery. But for you? You my friend are just screwed.
And remember friends don’t let friends drive rice.
[...] Ricers! Check out this article my podcast partner wrote about ricers. I laughed my @$$ off. Public Service Announcement __________________ Performance Radio Network [...]
The Daytona’s wing actually was useful at 200 MPH.
yes you are right, but i still say it was the original ricer wing. for use on the speedways of nascar it worked great, however on the production car it was not useful at all, since most of those cars never saw anything near 200 mph, but if you guys care to read more about a really cool car, and possibly the first muscle car built with and eye towards aerodynamics then check out wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Charger_Daytona
The street version of the car had to have the wing, for it to be allowed in NASCAR.
complete understand. i don’t argue validity of the car. i’m just saying that that wing on the daytona, seems to me to be the grandfather of the ricer wing. on that car is served a purpose, but many years later somebody said you know that looks cool, i want one on my honda, and rice was born.
But those guys in yellow look so kool…not. Good psa man
If you want your website to be credible please remove the pic of the Daytona.
The reason that one is there is to prove the point of the article. It shows that “rice” can happen to anyone. Even bad @$$ Daytona owners. …much love…much love
Epic fail. Sorry, but you do not truly understand what rice is. Not by the pictures, but by your PSA. The first thing you did was attack Hondas, and the truth is that Rice isn’t about the car… it’s about the owner. Rice is a mental disease and riced out cars are the by product. Please do a little research on what Rice really is (www.ricekiller.com) and once you have a true understanding re-write this PSA. I replied to your post on ricekiller as well: http://www.ricekiller.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68558
@ dirtydan
no sir, i am an equal opportunity hater i dislike most if not all cheep econo boxes. for instance i personally own an 08 eclipse, but i still dislike the lancer (yes even the evo), both are made by mitsubishi, but one is a 4 door grocery getter that hauls ass and the other is absolutely sexy, slower than molasses, but still damn sexy.
and as far as the definition of rice, please read
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Ricer
sometimes i think the some of you guys over at ricer killer take yourselves a bit to seriously. lighten up and have some fun.
so in closing epic fail? i think not. these psa’s are intended to satirical. so in my humble opinion epic win!
(for those of you unfamiliar with the satirical writing style please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire )
Epic fail. http://www.burnoutradio.com/wp-content/gallery/fried_ricer/main.jpg this is a BMW 2002tii //M
