    Hard for me to call it a "rod", more of a custom in my book, and quite a design exercise for them.

    It's definitely interesting. Not exactly my style, but i can appreceiate the design and work put in it. It looks cool in a futuristic way.

    I saw it on TV. It goes like a scalded cat, but it isn't my type either. A lot of design work went into it, but it looks like something from one of the Terminator movies. Check back with me around 2025 . . .

    The best hot rods are completely custom.

    Looks like the only part of this one which is stock might be the motor.

    It's cool, but I wouldn't call it a hot rod.

    High end custom seems to fit.
