The American equivalent of a UK boy racer's car; usually an import sedan (Civics and Corollas are usually the weapon of choice, but they are not by any means the only cars used) with exceptionally gaudy and tasteless external modifications while not having anything that actually increases performance. Funnily enough, many of the mods actually DECREASE performance by way of being designed for cars actually capable of pulling off what the average ricer can only dream of. Expect cheap plastic rims, underlighting, artificial lowering by way of cut springs, a plastic bumper that shatters the minute the car nears any sort of imperfection in the road, a plastic spoiler that actually increases wind resistance, an incredibly loud and garish bodykit, a gargantuan fucking exhaust setup that can be heard from multiple blocks away, a sound system that costs more than the car itself, and stickers for high-end performance gear that the driver of said car doesn't even own.
"Hey, did you see Tony trying and failing to pick up some random chicks in the Price Chopper parking lot?"
"No, I didn't. How was he going about it?"
"Y'know that '98 Camry that his grandpa bought him for his sixteenth birthday? Well, he turned it into a total fucking ricer and was cruising the parking lot while revving his engine whenever he saw some prospective pussy heading his way."
"Haha, fuckin' owned. Guess they saw through all the plastic and decals and noticed that it was still a worthless piece of shit. What a loser."

Common and usually derogatory term used as a blanket explanation for the complex and popular resurgence of automotive culture among young adults, particular in terms of small-displacement Japanese
import modified vehicles.
Variances within the scene - with some cars barely modified, others heavily
massaged to generate impressive power, many optimized for handling, others still intended entirely for show/stereo competitions - have resulted in a great deal of criticism and confusion.
A compounding factor, historically, has been the reluctance of Japanese makers to export their most impressive hardware to North American markets. This trend is showing signs of reversing.
Those ricers. Don't they realize that internal combustion engineering progress topped out with the pushrod?

Japanese imports that gay inbreed hillbillies try to make fun of when they roll up to them at a red light in their 40-30 year old shit 3 ton muscle car(but it's fast because it has a 350lb V8 that only makes 200 hp) they stop laughing when they hear the 2 step launch control and see the tail lights of the"ricer" . Often having better proformunce than almost a muscle cars in any area. They are often driven by younger people who keep up with technology and advancements, unlike the american way of just adding more cylinders or displacement.
often people who live in trailers compare the worst import to an american made car which they will never be able to afford either way
yesterday i was in my STi and this hillbilly pulled up next to me with with his brother and sister having sex in the back seat. he asked me if i wanted to get my ass kicked in a race. so we raced and when i launched and he was still wondering how this ricer beat the shit out of him

Any person who spends all of their money trying to make the gay car their mommy and daddy bought them look faster by adding large spoilers, stickers, wheels, lame exhausts and altezza taillights.
I love owning those ricers almost as much as I love owning Mustang GT's with my 4 door fwd family sedan (see nismo)
