Such thing as Ford Ricer????

Is there such thing as a FORD Ricer???
I ask because I was on my way into work today going down 85 South into Atlanta in my 91 Mustang GT Convertible. I passed a 95-98 Ford Mustang with a Roush body kit and V-6 LX wheels(Nasty looking, skinny wheels). So I instantly knew this guy had nothing under the hood. Well this guy starts tailing me down 85 through different lanes, etc.. So I drop it down into 4th gear and take off enough to not see him in my rear view. Keep in mind, this is a STOCK 5.0L. Nothing special!

A mile or two down the road, he comes up on me again. Once again, I drop 4th and take off and lose him again.
I couldn't beleive the next thing that happened. Would you beleive this guy fly's by again. ONCE AGAIN, I drop 4th and blow him away. As I go by this time I look over and see on the fender badge it says "GT-R" one of those Pep Boys specials that you can stick on your fender.

"Ricer" instantly went through my head.

What do you guys think?? I know this is a fellow FORD lover, but first of all DON'T use those stupid "GT-R" stick on badges on your car and why put a Roush body kit on a V6 unless you are gonna supercharge it?

Ricer, Ricer, Ricer.

So once again, is there such thing as a Ricer FORD?????

Kind of embarrasing to Ford, I seen a riced up SVT Focus that Freedom Ford sold out of Edmonton. The ricer put a huge Stroller handle on it and some kind of flashing thingys in the wheels and as you can imagine Red Underglow.

FYI, Ford is touring a FOCUS that has a body kit and graphics on it what we call rice on this board. However, this FOCUS is for the physicaly challenged. Easy enter easy exit and can be modified to meet special needs. Has red under glow also.

Peace, Suavy

I had a 2000 HD in my service department that had Pep Boys chrome brush guard, and 4X4 stickers all over it.

Unfortunately, people with no taste can buy any car they want.

I might offend someone here, but I think the Ford F150's with the 12" wide tires that don't fit under the fenders are similated ricers also.

Cool

Wonder if this makes me a racer?

I drive an 89 Probe turbo everyday during the winter/salt & never wash it. ?? I've got the boost up to 12psi, but don't advertise how riced I am with stupid stickers and flashing lights. Well .. maybe except for the 2.25" custom exhaust, monza tip and no muffler. But that was just to improve airflow! And that does make me smile a bit.

But it's all for a "good cause" you know? I do this so that the Lightning stays warm and comfy in my garage. Does that count towards anything?

WOT
