Takeaways

• 🚗 The term 'ricer' is misused and should refer to cars with cosmetic enhancements that mimic racing features, not as a racial slur.

• 💪 'Muscle car' refers to powerful rear-wheel drive vehicles, typically associated with American and Australian origins, not limited to American-made cars.
• 🏎️ 'Pony car' is a subset of muscle cars, often confused with muscle cars by non-enthusiasts, but enthusiasts should avoid correcting others in a condescending manner.
