Some people enjoy the thrill of things more than the looks and if someone wants something with a big engine to haul ass down the street and sound loud...why does it have to cost crazy amounts of money and be freshly polished...

Its about the thrill of the ride not the look...
I didn't talk trash about rat rods, I stated facts about most of them. I do like some rat rods, I like them with brakes and in primer not rust and even flames on the hood is nice agen'st grey primer. with some ( not all ) rat rods theres no brakes or no front brakes and as I said, this is not road legal and probably a lot of the real ratty cars you saw had no plates and that is the reason ( no brakes ), there are other reasons like brake lights and such.
