Are you a ricer???

1. -You put your automatic car in neutral at every stoplight in order to roll it back and try to fool other people into thinking you have a manual transmission

Okay, this wasn't technically what I was doing. I put it in neutraland was revving my lil' Vulcan at a red light. Well light turned green and I threw it in drive and it stalled. Hah, I laughed.

2. -Your baseball cap is always on backwards when you drive

Only reason this applies to me is because I am tall, and if worn properly the bill hits the ceiling of my car and bugs the heck out of me.

3. -If you can estimate that your car makes more than 250 HP without ever running it at the track or getting a dyno reading.

Well, assuming you ran your car against a vehicle proven to have 250hp with a capable driver, and you beat them I'd assume your car would have 250 at least...but what do I know.

-You claim that polishing your intake gave you 5hp.

Actually on the SHO motors running an abrasive putty threw the intake manifold pipes it does give a very minimal HP gain. I do believe it is only 2hp though.

-If you paint your drum brakes to simulate Hi-po calipers

Well I wouldn't do THAT, but if I had rims that exposed said drum brakes I would have the drums painted to match the car, or at least keep them from rusting...

-You claim how if you went from a roll you would have beat him.

Actually...nevermind on this one...

-Your sum knowledge of suspension is: "the more negative camber, the better the handling."

Well, now I have to add this one because before this article I knew diddly squat about suspension...

-You have more stereo WATTS than engine TORQUE!

This applies to me because of woofers and upgraded speakers (from walmart) I have in my Taurus (which doesn't have a lot of torque to begin with). My uncle got me the woofers for my grad present (didnt ask for them...in case you were wondering)

Yep, not very ricey, but I suppose I could be considered one.

just saw a white one the other day!!! that is a sweet car! 4, 3" titanium exhaust exits and AWD 480hp twin turbo.. yeah, i think its a sports car..

just cause i think i'm rich doesn't make it so.

Hey, by that, my MR2 is a sports car! But why is my insurance so low?

1st Yes the mr2 is a sports car

2nd Whats the year? N/A, Supercharged, or turbo? How old are you? whats your driving record like? What kinda coverage do you have? Where do you live? Urban or rural? All these would affect insurance rates

Umm if it was identical cars with identical weight then yes a comparison could be made. One of my motorcycles has 70hp but i can take quite a few vehicles with 2x or 3x the horsepower. What your talking about would be the pounds per horsepower ignoring aerodynamic physics

-You have more exhaust decibels than your engine has horsepower.
the last time i had it tested it hit 101db lol

-You see cars like yours in a Shriner's Parade for Children and clowns are driving them.
i think i have actually seen clowns in a festiva lol

-Your mod list includes stereo equipment, shifter handle, MOMO steering wheel, PIA driving lights, exhaust tip, but no REAL engine parts.
dont have the momo but have everything else

-You ever painted your wheels to match the same color of your car.
looks much better than rusty

-You have more stereo WATTS than engine TORQUE!
12" sub and 400watts

-Your four cylinder has a dual exhaust system installed.
hell yeah sounds good too

-You upgraded to the "big bore" 2 inch exhaust
well i do have 2" exhaust pipe after the glasspack

-You cut 2" holes in your rear bumper and DO know what they're for
theyr a lil wider than 2" but i know y theyr there

"If the 1970 Plymouth Daytona Superbird has a smaller spoiler than your car does."

the 1970 superbird was a plymouth, the daytona was the dodge version ( 1969)... two different cars but they looked very simular.

Well i'm a ricer

I'm not a ricer. I was in the past...
