Yes............and the hand shake. And they keep it a secret just to piss you off..............that's their #1 objective!!:LOL: [/B][/QUOTE] and in what you just said you are classifying people not there cars this is where all the attitude comesIMO.. i personally can put up with the comments about my ratrod or others but the problem lies with classifying people i have read many posts were the person gets attack because they like ratrods me included. its pretty easy to say that no matter what class of hot rodding your into theres bad apples in everybunch even if they have a well built hot rod so does a person classify them a ratrodder because they play loud music, drink beer, have attiude or whatever or even argue with the people about how a car is suppose to be built just because its not built the way they want it or think it should be, i dont think so. so lets leave the person out of it other than how they came up with idea to build THERE car. i have been saying that the word rat rod is just a way to define a certain style of hot rod . i have said it in many of my posts but i suppose there hard to read when the iggy buttons on. i dont ignore anyone even the one s that are pretty hard on this subject theres times where i wish i would then mrmustang wouldnt have to get after me. with that being said, why does the term ratrod have to classify a car junk. I have read the word ratrod hundred times to myself and still cant find the word junk in it.
