A Ricer ... A honda "jap" car (rice eater).

I PMSL never heard that before ! Apparently the yanks call JDM boy racers Ricers ? There's even Ricer vids on youtube !

Anyone head that term before ?

yeah lol! Hondas get called rice over in the USA, usually yanks with big v8 supercharged muscle cars racing 1.6 v-tecs because they cant beat anything turbo like a skyline or a supra lol

its pure :mrgreen: from its beginnings.

bit of a slur in USA. we have to pay for fuel here so there is little humour left for hating :evil:

yanks hate jap cars for bigger reasons than that :lol:
