A riceburner is a tricked out Japanese car. A stock Japanese car isn't

A quad weighs roughly 300 lbs, and the small utility trailers weigh about 500.

Ok Thanks. Although in my era - we called ANY Japanese car rice burners - before your time

I have no idea how old you are, but my dad, if he still was alive would be 58. He always called them rice burners, or Jappanese junk. There is some sort of censorship on here so I changed the spelling and bolded the last one. Even when I was in high school in the late 80's to early 90's, they were refered to as rice burners. It has nothing to do with being modified at all.

Enjoy your Iraq vacation!(If your gonna be an A-hole I am too) The real working class utilize their trucks. you can make love to your POS horrible sounding diesel cause God knows you ain't getting none with that attitude! I'll keep my ranger because I don't see the point in buying more than I need. If/when I buy my boat to enjoy lake pleasant I will get a ranger similar to your wifes

Thanks, I will enjoy my Iraq vacation. This is my 2nd time here. My first round got me the truck, and this round is paying it off. When your chic truck blows and engine on the way to pleasant, gimme a shout, chances are I will be on the way to the lake as well. I can pull my boat, your little truck, and your boat all the way there. But I will be sure to set the Smarty up and paint your truck black.
You trying to say I don't use my truck for its intended purpose? You don't even know me boy.
Sounds to me like you are a little jealous of my "POS horrible sounding diesel". I will be sure to give you a taste of all that when I catch you with your windows down. Ok bud?

To me, every Japanese car is a ricer. The only thing that sets them apart is the clip on fart can when mom is letting her little boy use her car.

I drive a Japanese car because they're reliable, cheap to fix, and great on gas. I spend around $15-$20 a week in gas and I make a 15 mile drive each way to work. My car is slow, you can call it a ricer all you want, but even truck pulling a house would beat me in a race.

No one likes ricers, not even import drivers, because like the d-bag who smoked out the family, they give the other drivers a bad name. Same can go with any type of vehicle, there is always going to be a group of asshats driving them.

They are deffinently reliable but they are cheap to fix for a reason. I had a 92 Honda accord LX(It was loaded) auto, ac, cruise control, auto windows and locks, I opted for no leather at the dealer. I had a blowout and it blew the fender apart. The car had rust issues in 1995! I sold it to my uncle in Ramona, CA to do his commute to Los angeles. It's uglier than hell but still in his possesion now. He now drives a new Silverado. The accord see's limited action for roadtrips now and runs great at 287,000 miles. Like I said the body is covered in dents, rust and the paint is faided as hell(plus still missing the fender that blew off in 1994 when I was driving). made of **** sheet metal or not they are relieable

I agree with you, MattP, anyone who denies that fact is only doing what Detroit did for several years.
What a lot of people don't realize is that China is poised to get into the act. They have cars now that pass the clean air specs for 2015.
