On the other hand, the same guy with the '72 Chevelle 6 cyl. who puts shackles, fat tires and a glasspack on his car and runs around bragging how fast he is is no different than the guy with the civic putting the 10' wing, fart can, neon lights and body kit on it and bragging. Both are considered "ricers" in my opinion.

To me Hotrodding is a state of mind, ricers are simply posers.

couldnt have said it better myself

Sounds domestic to me........................BTW, The Big Three have built cars in Canada since the early 1900s......and, Canadian auto workers make a better quality car than their American counterparts.
