I like the site, cool cars, lots of good old memories.

Why is it the term Rat Rod brings out the worst in people? Rats are not traditional hot rods, Rat rods are not trying to be something that happened 50 years ago. They are happening now, today, they are different from the cars back when, and they are different from each other. I am really not trying to start anything here, I'll keep my truck the way it is because I like it, and I won't get rid of it because someone else doesn't like it.

Really good to hear from a guy who has it right!!!!! Rat rods are something new and not, as some would have you believe, the rebirth of hot rods... I can only speak for me. I have nothing against the Rat Rods. The part I have a problem with is the one's who believe that's how it used to be.... Those of us who were there know better. Good to hear that there's some people who actually understand the whole rat rod thing!!!!!
