Rice Burners

             A Rice Burner is a slow car that has modifications done to it that do in no way increase the performance of the car, they rather give the appearance of performance. Such cars as Honda Civics, Mitsubishi Eclipses, Acura Integra's, Chevy Cavaliers, and Dodge Neon's are the most common cars that are turned into Rice Burners.

Most ricers will have huge spoilers on there cars. A spoiler on the rear trunk does nothing on a front wheel drive car, if they wanted a functional spoiler they would have put it on the hood of the car. If someone actually needed a 3ft high spoiler they would probably have a rear wheel drive car that can go over 200mph, then your would need a spoiler that high. Some
