Was ist ein Ricer?  Ach du lieber, es gibt doch so viel spass.

Root for "Ricer":  "Rice Burner.", i.e. souped up peppy little car from
across the Pacific.

Alternative definition, a Ricer is (and I quote from this link, although I
cannot exactly agree with the judgmentally oriented wording).  Although the
intent is clear.

"A Ricer is a stupid young idiot who thinks he is a car expert after
watching The Fast and the Furious, Pimp My Ride, and playing Need For Speed
Underground. It is also used to describe the completely overrated car. "

Ricers are either:
1.  looked upon as misled and disoriented car enthusiasts.
2.  highly respected for their enthusiasm and are doing nothing different
than we did in the old days as youngsters with our 50s hot rods, muscle
cars, or European sports cars.
