Default Ricer behavior

It started out with me and a friend cruising around Saturday night. I was pulling onto US27 with a Civic following a ways behind me. Next thing the Civic decides to do a fly by. In the past I would have let it go but since I've been on this site you guys have changed my ways. I dropped her into 2nd and with in seconds shot past the Civic.

Later on we spotted a mass exodus of ricers leaving a gas station. I decided to follow them for fun just to see what they were up to. I kept thinking someone was going to stop in the middle of the highway and race but that didn't happen. Then a funny thing happened. They spotted a cop on the side of the road and everyone decided to slam on their brakes. My friend and I were thinking the semi behind us was going to rear end them. It was chaos and I was caught in the middle of it. [8D] They ALL decided to hit the pass through and head back the way they came. The cop did what I expected and followed them. Why they didn't split up I haven't a clue. Anyone know why Ricers congregate in such large groups and behave in such irrational ways? Low self-esteem maybe?

Alright breyton, it's that time; we're gonna send you undercover to study their behavior and take down the ricers. It's gonna be difficult to do in a cobra, so just start throwing stickers on there, and we'll set you up with an unpainted ridiculously wide body kit that's cracked in 5 places.

LMAO. nice boosted. idk why they do it. maybe they think if the cops come after them, they all look almost the same, so they wouldnt be able to spot the exact one theyre after i mean, if they were RICERS, theyre all slow, they all have stickers, they all have fart-can exhausts on 'em, etc, etc.

ever watch jurassic park when the flocks of bird like dinosaurs move as one across the plains while the tyrannosaurus chases them. its this same small mined animal instinct that make them think there is safety in numbers. the cop or your cobra in this case is the tyrannosaurus. hunting easy pray. they move as one quickly threw traffic becuse if they are all together and one of them beats you, it is victory for all of them for they act as one.

i'm surprised they don't all come to a complete stop thinking the cop's vision is based on movement [&:]

Me and and about 100 others were at a gas station in the middle of nowhere (us27) watching races and they do drag races right infront of the gas station. Well 2 cars were lined up and out of nowhere an 18 wheeler comes from behind and slams on his breaks, locking up all his wheels. Everybody was like -H-O-L-E-Y-****! he almost totaled 2 ricers.

I don't care who you are that is funny..


My personal theory is that they try to pool their 1.0 liter egines so they have a chance against a 4.6 or a 5.0.
