Ultimate Ricer show

[s_wilwerding]

Just caught "Hi Rev Tuners" on Speed the other night - wow, what a great show. Seriously, the best looking things in the show are the women - the cars, well they are, shall we say, beyond butt ugly.

The show did give me some ideas for the P-car, though. I think I need gauges lining the passenger compartment and a DVD player in the front trunk

I agree the women (especially the blonde) are hot!! But I can't believe how much money these people spend on those cars!

Scary!

Talking about how much money is spent,
From the LA Times

The sports compact market, which supplies performance parts and appearance equipment for cars such as the Honda Accord, the Ford Focus, the Dodge Neon and the Mitsubishi Lancer, racked up $1.5 billion in sales last year, a 25% increase over 2000, and is expected to hit $2.25 billion this year, Spoonhower said.

I was forced to sit thru that show by Rice Grrrl, and my IQ dropped 50 pts as a result.

Heck, I don't know about you but, I've spent a whole bunch of money on my car in the past 12 yrs. probably not as much as those guys though. What's a real bummer is those cars will eat mine(most).

I've seen this show, and it's pretty amazing how little the hosts know about cars. They showed a VW bug that had "Porsche 933" wheels, lol.

But what do you expect from a show sponsored by Pep Boys, the bastion of all automotive ignorance and evil.

Prediction: the Rice trend will be dead in 10 years.

That's five years after SUVs fade away (all except Jeep and Land Rover). Mark your calenders.
