How to build a ricer.
 
I guess some people actually need instructions on how to build a Ricer (I thought they just bought random stupid crap?), Motor Trend has published a Ricer "How To" article.

Excerpts:
.... For a relatively small chunk of change - say $300, $500 or $1,000 - you can pull out enough tricks to catch the attention of the next hottie you pass.

• Neon underglow: You can get these from just about any custom auto store, and they're fairly cheap. But remember that you can only have these on when you're NOT driving; otherwise, you risk a $142 ticket. ($100-$200).
• European-style taillights or headlights: These have sort of a space-age feel, with white, black and red, as opposed to a solid color, and often have multiple red circles. ($150-$250)
• Spoilers: They look good, and they'll improve handling by keeping your wheels on the ground. ($200 and up)
• Intake system: If you care more about flash than function, this is a good choice in this price range.
• Nitrous kit: This causes more aggressive combustion, which makes your car go a lot faster.
• Ground effects: They won't make your car run better, but they will lower the body of your car, putting you closer to the road. ($800 and up)

Exactly, I'd let them "pimp" it the hell out, then sell it and start over. ;D

So I'm not the only one who noticed that. I crack up everytime I hear them say that, because they say it every show. It's no surprise when they come out with some 17" Giovanna rims. :-\ Those guys are such cheese dicks. I could point out so much fucked up ---- they do. That Mustang they did, they say "Well, since they don't make rims for Mustangs we had to custom make these 17" Giovanna rims to fit...." The ---- they don't make rims for Mustangs. The 17,967,362 1967 Mustang owners will tell you that is bullshit. Anyways, like a ------- rim is vehicle specific. If the bolt pattern and the offset is correct, it fits.

Also, the Land Cruiser they "pimped out" was way more pimp before they got ahold of it. They traded the factory racing style seats with 5 point harness slots for some gay ass square looking things that "ISH" hooked up for it. That was ------- lame. That car was a classic off road machine before they wrecked it. The only thing they did that was worth a ---- was put nice tires on it. That show makes baby jesus cry.

LOL

That show is gay though.

"Let's put some big rims on it, a rear spoiler cuz those are cool, and 50 tv's!!!"

::)

We should start a show called HMT TV... People bring in their NA honda's and get Turboed by the end of the show. That would rule.
