Thank you Aashish.

The question: Is 75 the new 45?

I never thought you would get that label. Ricer, good or bad?
On the subject of labels. Because I'm an oldie and not up on the latest jargon.

This thing sounded SWEET!
This guy has blacked out windows and a trunk closing assist with a hand notch. Would he be considered a Wiener? Being a German call driver.

Anyway Hope you all are doing well. This thread is a little lost for me. Yeah I have looked a the latest from time to time on my phone but should go back and read some.
Nice shift knob

"Ricer": A person who makes unnecessary modifications to their import car to make it look faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- A "performance intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)

I think a relatively new stereotype about ricers is that you have to have a constant fog in your car from your vape pen. But what do I know, I'm old and out of touch.

^ Thanks.

In other news, I'm planning to take my wife out on a date the second weekend of May. The plan is for the S2000 to play a role.
