6 years ago, i was banned from my car community while i was chatting, just because this:
"Yes, i'm a ricer, i rice my Lexus SC...and i would've change my front layout into Rear layout, even putting a porsche engine in it!"
the worst for them was the part where i take the porsche 911 body, leaving the porsche RR layout chassis, and replace it with a riced lexus sc300 body. why would they offended? they said "it's a disgrace to Porsche & blah blah blah..."
but seriously though, this ricer massacre is already GONE TO FAR. i heard that Vinyls & neons are banned in USA for NO REASON? then why would we still use vinyl in Formula Drift, damnit? and most of all why on earth i can't make my rice car as fast as supercar? this is REALLY "Racist"! pls tell me this trend is still exist among american car culture!

I have family in bali, indonesia but I don't speak bahasa indonesia and I am not indonesian. In the USA the car culture is dying. many young people don't even want to obtain a driver's license.

I think the ricer/drifting scene is dying. The rich are getting richer and everyone else is getting poorer. There are still a lot of people who add bolt-ons: wings, intake, exhaust, wheels to their japanese cars, but not as many kids learn how to turn their own wrenches and modify their own vehicles.
In the USA, our car culture's main mantra is "there's no replacement for displacement" - the idea is large V8 engines. The vast majority of people buy cars with the performance and style that they want, factory made. Customization isn't a huge market, even with the Camaro, Mustang, etc. Car magazines are suffering.
