Your rear wing AND your rear window have a third mount brake light...

RE: How to identify a Ricer!!
hahaha, that sh*t is pretty funny... and quite the list there.... did take me a while to read the whole thing... didn't want to leave any out, lol..... but "If you think that 180 horsepower and 185 lb/ft of torque are impressive for a ‘mildly’ modified engine." this is actually not too bad.... 185lbs of tourque in a 3000lb car is gonna move pretty good.... funny sh*t though for a "rice burner" flame
