Cars dress up enthusiasts.

In M'sia and other parts of the world, car dress up enthusiasts aren't shot down by their own countrymen. Instead, their rides are showcased and applauded for their efforts. We all know we don't have the dough to own a supersports car, so we try to dress our little rides to be like one. There is simply nothing wrong with that to what I can see. But of course, don't try to drive like a Ferrari/Lamborghini when you're just steering a not. Hence the term "dress-up enthusiasts" and not "driving enthusiasts". So what's all these shit about a certain magazine in Singapore giving those "car dressers" a term called "RICERS". I think it's downright insulting. Why? Because instead of encouraging the local car culture here, they're shooting it down like crows. Then right after shooting, you diss about the slow growing culture etc. I mean come on! Encourage the scene la for goodness sake! Not everyone is as rich to get a JDM supercar or Euro Supersports car. With the damn expensive COE, taxes, petrol prices and whatever it is, owning a car is already a feat.

SO STOP SHOOTING CAR ENTHUSIASTS AND INSTEAD GIVE ENCOURAGEMENT!

Don't mind me, I'm not condemning anyone. Just rather fed up with people who give the terms "RICER" to others whereby they themselves do the damn same thing and even feature the rides. In fact the term RICER should only be given to those who DO dress up their rides AND drive like a lunatic. Don't harm the good term "CAR DRESS UP ENTHUSIASTS" for good.

So please people, do mod your rides beautifully and drive safely. Don't let the crow shooters harm the good namesake of dress up enthusiasts. We love and own our rides, they don't.

On an ending note, do enjoy whatever your modifications are, and DRIVE SAFELY. Leave the racings to the tracks at Pasir Gudang or Sepang, where you can endanger yourself all you want. Don't do it here in puny Singapore.

Peace everyone,
Ji
