This Acura was
submitted by Candace from Toronto. She writes "Your website is great! It inspired me to look for ricers in my area and
take pictures of them. I found this one at a McDonald's by Pearson Airport
in Toronto. He taped up the holes with duct tape. So pathetic."
Resale values across the
world are being destroyed even as you read this! |

'87 Volvo 740GLE |

|
|
| These
Volvo photos were submitted recently by Sean
Darrell, a Heferito.com regular. He writes, "Got
plenty of em here in NebraSKA. So boring here, I decided to
create my own little parody of these pathetic beings on the
streets with my little addition just for shits and
giggles. Check it out - it's an '87 Volvo 740GLE with plenty
of mods!! Hahah! I payed $1,800 for it and don't even ask what $$
was put into it. Best part is the 10-switch shock-cylinder
AirRide system to bounce around in this wonderful hooptie!!! Write
me back and let me know what ya think!!" |

1983 Nissan Sentra |
|
|
|
| I
really don't even have the words to describe this car. I
don't know too much about it either. All that I know is that
it was sold
on eBay. You read this correctly, somebody actually paid
money for a car that has a wooden spoiler, ground effects, and
hood scoop. I guess that this guy must have decided that
sanded wood beats composite body panels any day. This is
without a doubt the most ghetto thing I have ever seen in my life! |

The Black Nissan
Sentra |
|
|
|
| This
is one of that cars that originally started my hatred for Riceboys.
I have watched it develop over the years. It started out as
a normal, boring little black Sentra SE. In it's present
form it is a little black Sentra with so many cheesie add-ons that
the owner has managed to lower the retail value well below
the $2800 average. My first gripe is with the GT-R emblem on
the rear above the license plate. I hate to inform you that
there was no Sentra GT-R made before 2002. They did produce a
GT for a while, but no GT-R. Sorry. Not sure who
you're trying to fool. Maybe he stole it from a Skyline?
I'm not sure. Notice the big-ass tachometer in the front
windshield? How could you possibly try to keep track of
power like the 1.6 liter 115 HP that this machine provides?!
That rear spoiler was bought at a NASA Surplus Outlet, it's the
main wing of an experimental plane that never got off the ground. |

HYUNDAI!
This car has
91 HP! With his performance mods it might be up to 93
HP. I think that the Edmund's Road Test of this car
speaks for itself. "Slowest Car we've tested yet"
is one quote. You can read the whole thing here,
it's worth checking out.. On this specimen I really like the
custom electrical tape blacking out the taillights. I heard
this car trying to pass another car and it was the worst sound
ever.

Here we have a
classic trick - a totally stock Mitsubishi Lancer with a an EVO
spoiler on it. He's trying to fool us with this one!
Vehicle
weight before spoiler: 2646
MT
Vehicle weight after spoiler: 2700
MT
Exactly
what kind of performance does that provide for a car that has 120 HP? |

The late model Jetta
|
The Jed Clampett Car
|
|
|
|
| I
think that the 1 foot high aluminum spoiler on this late model
Jetta speaks for itself. If you see this guy be sure to give
him a thumbs up as he drives buy so that he knows he's cool.
UPDATE 4/25/03 - This car is now sitting totaled in the front yard
of the owner. I guess that having a rear spoiler on a
front-wheel drive car doesn't help with handling after all.
Bummer.

Well
this car is far from riced out, but it's still funny. I think was stolen from the
set of The Beverly Hillbillies. You can't tell from
this picture, but it was blowing nasty smoke the whole time.
The authentic rust colored paint job is exquisite. Oh wait,
that was real rust. I am not afraid to admit that I would
take this car over the Hyundai any day. UPDATE - My friend Jean
has informed me that this is a 1927 Packard...thanks Jean! |
