"Rice" has it's place. My wife's car is a older, stock, sedate Honda Accord. Seats 4 in comfort, gets 35 mpg on the highway and is as reliable as heck. We use it to haul people and groceries and for long trips.
It's just that I don't feel the need to flog the crap out of it as I appreciate what it is good for when I am driving it.
guess you didnt read the description of "ricer"?

We are a bunch of red-blooded automotive enthusiasts that eat, drink, sleep and [censored] cars. We believe in doing what ever it is you want to do to your ride, be it a stocker or an all-out dragster, as long as it doesn't veer off into the Ricer World.
What do we consider "Ricer" to be? Well, if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be here, but I'll humor your inquisitiveness anyway.
Any bone stock ride that is covered in stickers from companies that have nothing to do with that ride is a Ricer. Any ride with a paint job that looks like something Walt Disney threw-up is a Ricer. Any ride with more bondo than sheet metal is a Ricer. Any ride with undercarriage lighting is a Ricer. Any ride with neon ANYWHERE is a Ricer (beer trucks omitted). Any ride with wheels 3 sizes too small or too large is a Ricer. Fartpipe coffee can exhaust? Ricer. "R" Badges? Ricer. Monster tach in a mechanically stock vehicle? Ricer. Ground effects bought at Home Depot? Ricer. Fake scoops mounted where even real scoops would serve no purpose? Ricer. A spoiler that more resembles a picnic basket handle? Ricer. Aviation parts mounted "for better traction"? Ricer. Defrost ducts painted with latex paint to match the color of the sticker on the brake pads? Ricer.
A Ricer doesn't have to be an Import. There are plenty of Riced-out Domestics on the road. In fact, many of our members own Imports. We are NOT anti-Import, we are anti-Ricer.
