Rice is to describe people who have no sense in modifying a car. Period. This lack of sense usually leads to them respecting speed but loosing focus on it and trying to make their car LOOK fast instead of be fast.

The typical ricer will favor FWD over RWD because, "rwd spins out too much" and modify a car just to modify it. Some cars are simply not worth being modified if your objective is sheer performance -- ricers DO NOT understand this. Basically they are ignorant about the techinical aspects of performance and speed and focus on trends instead of the real deal which is performance.

Real gear heads, either Import or Domestic fans, will always have a common denominator which is performance.
