Are ricers on the decline?

I've been wondering about this recently as I see alot less ricers now then from 15 years ago. Have all the younger generations learned what not to do with your car? Is it almost over now?

You think people care about vehicles now? People would rather not get their permits until their 30s or actually be responsible for something.

In my area Mexicans have taken the title.

I call it "Arroz" which is Spanish for rice.

They get the little fake vents and anything chrome and stick them all over the hoods and doors of their rusty civics and Chevy Astro vans.

Stance became the new trend.

There's a something (it's so nondescript I forget what it is) I pass every other day on my way home with a widebody fender kit but they still use the stock/oem wheels and offset, literally a foot clearance between the rubber and lip. Must've been that way for like 5 years, I refuse to believe that person actually appreciates the look it has.

Like this, but with more gap and less paint.

Oh, the $400 'coilover' and horrendous camber adjustment for free?
>mfw they see a twig but try to swerve and miss it, end up just being faggots because they have no grip to swerve

I miss ricers tbqh. At least they cared about cars and driving and caused enough of a general shitshow that you could be a bit of an asshat without attracting undue attention.

Same here, except they're putting gay white rims on ancient hondas with retarded alignments

ricers are second-third-fourth-fifth even sixth hand now.
A ricer is a "cool car for 500 bucks"-mistake you make on craigslist when you get your first job, and sell/crash 1 year later because you thought upkeep would be cheap and oh god gas prices
most ricers in the wild are unkempt, un-serviced, and sun-bleached, because the fatherly love that comes with crafting your own rice rocket is absent..
Quite sad really
I should adopt another ricer

>are ricers on the decline?
The laws were changed to eliminate ricers.
Most ricers like to install larger exhaust pipes along with making that brraap noise or the vrooom exhaust noise. The state laws were changed so that if the exhaust noise can be heard 75 feet away (across the street or intersection) by the police, it is a citation for excessive noise PLUS a separate fix-it ticket. A fix-it ticket is a more serious thing because you cannot simply just fix the thing on your own and then pay off the ticket fine. You have to either have an official professional auto service shop fix it or examine the car and certify that the problem was fixed. The shop's documentation is sent in and your fix-it status is cleared. You can pay the ticket, but if you don't clear the status, there can be a fine if you are late on that.

>heard 75 feet away
lol. I can hear various trucks, cars, bikes, and scooters, even stock, going down the main road from around the corner probably about a football field down the side road. What a joke.

>Have all the younger generations learned not what to do with your car
No, the younger generation doesn't give a shit about cars. They all use Uber and realize autonomous vehicles are coming within the next decade.

>75 feet
surely that is meant to be 75 yards? I can hear a bicycle or skateboard or even someone jogging on the road from 75 feet

maybe cops get their hearing from the same place techs and service writers do?

>What a joke
>surely that is meant to be 75 yards?
Depends on your state as well as how your town or city handles laws. It's well known that many cities instruct their police force to not completely or strictly enforce state or local laws.

In washington state, the official test standard is at 50 feet. A car traveling at 35MPH emits a volume of exhaust whose decibel level shall not be above 72dBA at 50 feet distance.

Furthermore, state law prohibits modification of exhaust with replacement mufflers that are louder than the original one.

>I can hear a bicycle or skateboard or even someone jogging on the road from 75 feet
I can hear people laughing from 75 feet too, but bikes, skaters, and laughers are not cars emitting exhaust.

>loud cars are not ok
>fuckloud harleys that pierce your ear dreams despite being slower than shit are ok
Explain this faggotry

*drums
Derp

>Explain this faggotry
For a long time, the police didn't really enforce the law, but now as things became more liberal, the activists agitated and got various car laws to be enforced. Thus noisy exhausts are an endangered species. Also endangered are "pretty girls" on cars because the activists say that promotes sexually discriminatory attitudes. So a lot of things car owners did to make their cars more unique have mostly disappeared due to activism.

I have yet to see anyone get ticketed for a Loud exhaust. I Have had strait piped exhausts on my Subarus and no shits were given. I know people with v8s that cops also don't give a fuck.

It must be where you live I suppose.

As for Itaisha I'm guessing you were going on about, Most people just don't do that outside of Japan, no one gives 2 shits about what some activist thinks abput their shitbox. I see tons of lewd Stickers all the time. I wouldn't want to drop 1000$ on a Itaisha vinyl wrap is all.

I can't lie; that is kawaii

Wait I'm retarded, were you referring to Girls modling next to cars?

>angel beets

>were you referring to Girls modling next to cars?
No. I commented about girls on cars. There was a truck with bikini girl professionally airbrushed onto the tail gate and it had to be unpainted.

I'm sure your car is faster than a Harley lol

lolwut is this in california or some shit

No, the tradition is being upheld by the hispanics.

All the cars they riced ended up ruined and drove up prices for everything related to the cars they riced so high school dropouts (the average ricer) couldn't afford them

Die in your sleep, ricers, I can't even FIND a Civic from 20 years ago that hasn't been riced.

>younger gen
>able to afford uber

A decent number of guys my age at tech school drive modded cars of various kinds, but most seem to have shit taste in mods. I've got a POS 80s Mustang I'm in the process of fixing up while still trying to drive it as much as possible.

>work at Carmax
>some 50+ techs
>share parking lot
>every kind of car missed in various shit ways
>rice seems to be alive and well
