Marauder vs Rice comparison shot

[RocsMerc]

My neighbors across the street from me were having a pool party and they ordered pizza. The guy delivering the pizza drove this car and parked it head on in front of my car. I quickly ran out side and snapped this picture while he was in their backyard because I thought it was funny. It's a little fuzzy because in my haste I grabbed my old camera with a crappy auto focus instead of my good one. What you probably can't see very clearly due to the white stripe is the painted white vent holes on the fender. I thought it was good for a laugh. Notice the double sets of fog lights and the racing seats.

:lol::lol:

That's awesome. Quick Thinking, you just made my night :beer:

[tallpaul]

Do you have a cowl hood? What is that emblem on your fender? Your right, that does look funny. It really pisses me off when people put a set of rims on a car, a stereo in it and call it a show car. I know that's not what he is doing there but I just felt like venting a little.

[Canadasvt]

It's a parking ticket here if found parked facing the wrong way. Not there?

[Vostok]

Those look like some Wal-mart rims.

LOL'd IRL as soon as I saw this. Good pic :D

[Vostok]

Every time I park next to something like this and walk away i'm convinced one of these days the Marauders just going to eat it :D

It probably is, but I haven't heard of it being enforce once in the 25 years that I lived here and alot of cars my block do this. It's a quiet residential block and it's a very wide street.

[guspech750]

Thats sexy!! Size does matter!!!

No, I don't have a cowl hood. It's just a glare. The fender badges are sold by Marty-o on this site. This is an old thread about it. Try pm-ing him.

Yup, same here. I got ticketed having my car sitting outside like that for a mere half hour.

I wouldn't be surprised if those are hub caps. :lol::lol:

Why do all pizza delivery guys drive super riced out cars?

[CooLManZilla]

I bet he had a big fartcan exhaust too ....

[SAAAAAC]

The marauder is gonna eat that rice.

[Egon Spengler]

Ass and Class.... Can you tell the difference???

[Krytin]

Yes it is here too - if you can get the SCPD to stop eating doughnuts long enough to do their jobs! They DO like running speed traps though - they can remain parked until the offender comes to them! LOL
Ask me how I know!!

[prchrman]

Largest whitewalls I have ever seen.

[TAKEDOWN]

It's almost the size of your front hood!

:dunno: Really need those racing seats!

[Joe Walsh]

Why do all pizza delivery guys drive super riced out cars?

Because they are all 17 year old pimple faced punks.

Here is how it works:

Buy a beater Honda Civic for $1500 (remember, they don't have much money)

Add ridiculous looking multi-colored custom paint job: $2,000 (the uglier it is...the cooler it is!)

Add swoopy, curvy, bulging, multi-scooped, primered, plastic ground effects body kit: $1,000 (it's all about downforce!)

Add carbon fiber hood: $800 (BUT don't paint it! You want everyone to see the awesome carbon fiber!)

Add heavy, chromed steel, incorrect offset, too wide rims with too narrow rubber: $1200 (absolutely required ricer mod!)

Add sheetmetal vibrating, incredibly distorted sounding stereo with 5 amps and 3 HUGE 15" subs: $1000 (mainly to annoy)

Add DVD player and PS3 with controllers to dash: $850 (you never know when a mean game of GTA will break out!)

Add flat screens to dash and both sunvisors: $750 (to watch movies while driving to deliver pizzas!)

Add APC racing seats: $500 (hey...nothing says serious race car like a set of crappy JC Whitney seats!)

Remove and gut rest of interior: FREE (remember, it's all about power-to-weight!)

Add loud, annoying, horrible sounding s.s. Fart Can: $300 (make sure that there are no support hangers on it)

Add non-functioning NOS kit: $400 (It worked for a little while..:dunno:)

Add hideous, huge 747 rear wing to trunk with 3M tape: $300 (make sure that it is crooked...it's all about downforce!)

Add chromed front and rear shock tower braces: $200 (stiffens the beer-can-thin metal suspension mounts.)

Add trick, torque killing, big tube header: $200 (wonder why it is even more of a dog at low rpms....:dunno:)

Add super low suspension springs: $150 (lose 3 tooth fillings after hitting first bump in the road.)

Remove OEM shocks because they won't work on lowered suspension (and don't replace them): FREE

Add illegal red underbody 'StreetGlow' lights: $125 (I be floatin' like Star Wars!)

Add purple colored HID headlights: $120 (10,000 degree Kelvin...to help melt your headlight's plastic.)

Add wrinkled, soon-to-be-bubbled purple tint to windows: $100 (purple tint only....it looks the best!)

Add color-keyed race steering wheel: $100 (throw away safe OEM airbag steering wheel!)

Add Altezza chrome taillights: $100 (you ain't cool if you ain't runnin' Altezzas!)

Add 2 sets of 'high kwality' blue PEPBOYS foglights: $75 (aimed blindingly wayyyy too high....to be cool.)

Add field-of-vision killing Monster Tach with huge red shift light to dash: $75 (indicates optimum V-TEC over-rev.)

Add field-of-vision killing chrome fire extinguisher on A pillar: $50 (over-revved and poorly maintained V-TEC's burn quick baby.)

Add primered, plastic hood scoop with 3M tape: $30 (OK...OK...so old school Detroit iron had some cool hood scoops...:()

Add Type 'R', Akimoto Racing, APC, NOS and many other strange Jap stickers: $25 (boosts HP to stratospheric levels.)

Add Vortex generators to roof above rear window: $10 (less drag = more speed!)

Add Vortex generators to front hood: $10 (even less drag = even more speed!)

Add Vortex generators to front fenders: $10 (even "lesser" drag = you guessed it!...even more, more speed!)

Add air splitters to front fenders: $10 (remember, it's all about downforce and less drag!)

Add PEPBOYS Buick portholes on front fenders: $10 (misaligned and mis-spaced....they just look so cool!)


Drive your $12,000 Ricer *****box into the ground delivering pizzas so that you can afford to pay for all the 'mods'.

Also, Lose every race you instigate with an American V8 car...
do the Ricer Fly-by, then explain to your buddies how your NOS was 'off' and "it's all about downforce and power to weight anyway and wait 'till you get your turbo kit."

[CBT]

Joe you left off "Obtain any kind of ball cap, wear sideways if windows are up or backwards with windows down, to help with downforce" - 10 bucks.

[MMarauder03]

I must not fit into this category... Although I could use a lip spoiler for more downforce. I had to take a picture of my car with a topper on it for the sake of this thread. lol

I would tip extra if my delivery person pulled up in a Marauder :D

[MMarauder03]

I delivered once last week and took 12 deliveries. Got 6 customer complaints that my car was too loud. LOL My boss was fielding calls for 4 hours people pissed off when I was driving completely civilized. About 1/3 throttle... (0.3333333 throttle) :lol:

You get BONUS points for delivering pizza in a badazz Marauder!...:bows:

Haha, well thank you! :beer:

[Mr. Man]

Your taking a big risk parking on the street. That trailblazer(or whatever it is) looks like it would love to crumple your front end.

Joe Walsh it would appear you know a little to much about the cost of ricing out a ricer. What is it you need to get off your chest? I think your a closet ricer....there I said it.:P:D:lol:

[MMarauder03]

I live in a place where you're gunna have a really hard time finding a parking lot. I normally put 2 wheels a little on the walk and fold my mirrors in. It's the best I can do. I'm 19 and can't afford a house yet...

[Joe Walsh]

BUSTED!!!!.......:o

I'm planning on pulling my 5.0 DOHC and dropping in a Honda S2000's V-TEC!
It revs to 9,500 rpm, and you should feel it pull when the V-TEC kicks in!

[Big Black Beast]

Why do all pizza delivery guys drive super riced out cars?

Try delivering pizza in a Marauder and see how much you spend on gas.:rolleyes:

Lol! There'd be enough room to drive each tire with an engine.:D

Done it, you spend a little more than the kid that delivers in a prelude. :hotrice:

[Joe Walsh]

Stopped by the beer store on my way home in the Marauder this afternoon.
I saw this 'racecar' in the parking lot.
Luckily the owner was not around as I laughed uncontrollably and snapped some pictures of the turd.

I think that he has hit just about every item on my "Ricer must-do" list!

Nothing strikes fear into the hearts of V8 sedan owners like a beat to crap, piss yellow 4 door Honda with a busted up body kit and mis-matched wheels....OH! and custom dual exhaust....:bows:

I think that the 'shoestring bracket' for the front license plate is the best mod...

[LeoVampire]

Ya it is a hell of a ride there is not enough octaine in the fuel around here so he has to use an adative as well to keep it running right without a ping.

He moved to CT with his wife from California and started to go to show's with us a nice guy and he love's my Marauder and parks next to it anytime he gets to go with us.
