because you live in washington, the street race scene isnt so dense everywhere else.

If I see a flat black car, or gunmetal crap... that is what all the ricers do. 99% are not fast. They just jumped on the bandwagon.

and on the side note, I've never seen any car that was built to look like your classic "ricer" that is fast.

looks stock...thats a sleeper, if anythings done externally, its no longer a sleeper. if anythings done, it says, i've spent money on this car, which means, its not stock..meaning, its not a sleeper..get it?

flat black is cuz we can afford paint. i think mine is simple and looks like a girls car...intended. but yea it does its dut. i look for a car that isnt all that much in the scene like hondas....say a old skool tercel...mazda protege..cars like that ...even a saturn....i got owned by a saturn along time ago...look like no threat but man was it fast..

no, thats what we call a piece of ------- ----! :)

the 'stock' sleeper look is so 2004, rice is the new sleeper. what do you expect when you pull up to a riced out car with gauges all over the place, body kit, wing, neon's, etc? you laug your ass off and expect it to be a freaking auto. with a fart can right? now what about when you pull up next to a flat black hatch back with spray painted wheels, stock except for lowered? you think in the back of your head 'this nigga might have some ---- fo me'. now tell yourself, which of those two is a true sleeper ;)
