Racer X with 17%.

Not that it's supposed to be an accurate test, but it's good to see a lack of Ricers around here - gives you a bit more confidence in people's opinions... :)

im assuming the percentage is the percentage of rice-ness, so the lower ur percentage the less likely u r to own a honda, or a hyundai lantra with a honda accord front grafted onto it.......

lots of people wrote:Congratulations. You are the real thing. Chances are you could tear down your engine and put it back together in a weekend. You know a decent amount about racing dynamics. The "FATHF" culture has been a bane to your existence since you've been in the game for years before that horrid movie was released. Auto-x, drag racing, track time, you know enough to not sound like an ass while talking about it, and you can probably hold your own on the track too. Race on, good citizen, for you are a true Racer.

You scored 35%

You are a respectable tuner. You probably subscribe to one or more tuner magazines and know, quite a bit about your car and/or racing in general. Either that or you play a shitload of GT3. At any rate, you recognize the difference between a wastegate and a blow-off valve. In time, and with practice, you may attain "Racer X" status since it is supposed that you are relatively new to tuning and still have much to learn. Keep, working, and thank the maker that you're not a ricer.

Yeah it didn't work for me either, but I right clicked the picture and checked it's properties and it was called "short_ram_intake.jpg" or something, so I went with short ram intake :wink:

You scored 81%
Depending on how you look at it, you either did awesome, or your worst fears are realized....you are, in fact, a ricer. Your vehicle world consists of large exhaust, large wheels, larger wings, and small engines. Every penny you earn goes into making your stock compact the gnarliest looking creation on god's green earth. The author of the test is of the opinion that you should probably be shot...but what does he know, his spoiler isn't even a foot tall. Congrats you $&#$% ricer.

You scored higher than 99% on ricegrains

Keep, working, and thank the maker that you're not a ricer.

Common sence guided me through this one. Holy crap. The guy that made the survey needs a few grammar lessons.
