Thread: Rat Rod Rules

Look guys, i just dont agree with you on that your sitting there saying that people with low income and lack of skill are a POS, becuase they dont have shiney trailer queens... In my opinion shiney cars are cool ive own a few and still do (i do drive mine though aint skeed) but i also really like the look of the traditional, work in progress or what ever you want to call it... the way I see it is whats the sense in having a badaz car if your affraid to drive it and it has to ride around in a trailer and you park 6 blocks away and drive it to the show so you look cool (WELL YOU AINT)... you ought to just put it in glass case in your front yard so the birds cant crap on it... Now im not saying you dont have skills or money, heck you all are a great bunch of guys that know more about cars than anyone.. but i still dont think its right to put you nose up in the air to people that dont like shiney trailer queens, or in your opinion people that cant afford them or lack of skill to build them...

Might want to re read that post. He said most people who knock them.... Nowhere in there is anyone called a POS...... the complaint was about folks who bad mouth trailer queens and other shiny cars and HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED BUILDING their own car yet......

What you think you hear isn't what people are saying. What they're TRYING to say, is: "You're not going to convince me to respect your rat rod when you preface your statement by calling "trailer queens" (a perjorative term, by the way) stupid. That happened in earlier posts on this thread. What people are saying is:

A. Build a safe car.
B. Don't knock my "shiny" car if you want to have a reasonable conversation about your car.

The stuff in bold above doesn't help much either.

Im sorry if i offended anyone by calling their car a "trailer queen" but im not sure of the proper terminoligy, maybe "highway capable" is that better? this is getting steered into the whole "rat rod" discrepency... I prefer my truck to be called a "farm rod" thank you... I sorry i just never understood how someone could put so much time and money into a masterpiece and not ever enjoy driving it around a lil on nice days, it just doesnt seem worth it to me but thats just me... Like my step father has 3 vettes and ive only seen one of them move in 17 years, it makes me sick to see them just sittn there doing nothing...
