Obligatory pic:
It's either a BMW Bavaria or 3.0 Sedan, I had one as well that I bought in 1972 in Germany, just sold it a couple of years ago.

Yes its a Barvaria. The BMW blew white smoke. The gold Porsche blew black smoke and the vw ran like a champ.

Define ricer. A kid that puts a N/A 220hp 4 cylinder vtec motor in a 2000lb CRX. MMM. Just sounds like the new generation of tuners. There not so bad. Its pretty interesting to see what they can do with such little displacement.

In 88 my mustang gt was putting out 225hp in the form of a v8.

I define ricer as the owner who places a mis-matched unpainted body kit, monster spoiler, coffee can muffler, ground effects lights, peeling window tint, bondo patches and a motor that burns more oil then gas.

Define the other 90% of the ricers out there. Someone who adds a ton of aesthetic stuff to a car to make it look fast, but due to the weight, and aero drag, actually makes the car much slower and poorer performing than when it was stock.

Gotcha. Out here we just call them... I might get in trouble for that one


The other ones are called tuner. At least thats what I hear them being called.

Im thinking about Lambo doors for my 911.

Don't forget that he couldn't afford all 4 wheels so he has 2 18" wheels on the back and the stock steel wheels on the front.

The front splitter is missing a yard of material where he's run it into curbs and crap.

I've seen them too Dave. Purple seats. Yellow gages. Cool collars.


Whale tails on narrow body cars!

Whale tails were an option on SCs, I believe. Or were you talking about the late 60s early 70s narrow bodied cars?

Yeah, they need a duck tail.

Of course, they are all functional.

I'd want a tail and matching lip spoiler on any 911 I had.
