this 'rat rod' trend is retarded

**Modulistic** · 03-06-2007, 08:18 AM

all these morons are creating ads selling their busted-ass old shit thats rusted and beat to shit trying to call them rat rods and selling the shit for the god damn equivalent of the national budget deficit. they need to cut that monkey ass shit out. even the finished rat rod concept makes me want to kick some folks right in their balls.

who wants to fix up some shit to make it look like its not fixed up and weld street signs in as floorboards and shit like they are some original motherfuckers who had to come up with a creative way to scrounge up some sheetmetal and they only had one place to turn.

examples:

The only thing decent abou Rats is the use of flat black paint.

You never see it on anything else unless it is a hill billy driving something that is just primered.

Otherwise I H8 'em as well!

Ive been waiting to see a F-body painted flat black. I think it would look wicked badass on a 93-02.

this is just an extension of the garage sale/Ebay phenomena - you take your shit and scatter it around like an old crazy lady with her feces and see who will snatch it up first for the highest dollar amount. some people will buy anything if its 'for sale'.

i'm really thinking about having that done on my 98, flat black or even better: flat medium grey....
(i already hear it flying)

but i too agree on the junk being sold as "trendy" or "cult".

**ATCharming** · 03-06-2007, 02:00 PM

i think if on any fbody, flat black would look best on a 4th gen (lt1 style) trans am with flat black wheels as well.

I have never seen even a picture of a flat black 4th gen before.

If you did no one will be able to say you copied anyone else.

People buy shit in a bag at Home Depot for $5 bucks. Called organic fertilizer. It is shit in a bag. Now that is fucking marketing genius right there I tell ya. Hell yes....Garage Sales are just attic junk and people are doing smoking U's in the street to get a "deal"....world needs dumbshits also son to spin correctly. Just a fact. One of my biggest sellers is pre paid legal. Biggest farce on the planet. But it is $12.95 per month. I get $10 per month of that for selling the fucking thing. I sold over half a million "policies" last year. Unreal.

I don't hate them, but I certainly don't like them, nor would I own one.
I figure, if you're gonna go THAT far, then why not go all the way and make yourself a fucking Road Warrior vehicle?

I would love a "road warrior" vehicle. That would be bad ASS.

**whoa guy** · 03-06-2007, 05:41 PM

the people into these types of cars are rather old now.. i've always wondered what the market will be like for the Ford "model" cars and various '30-'40s coupes in another 20-30yrs... talk about 100yr old auto's... man... a 100yr old car... sayin it just sounds wicked old...

**Secret Formula** · 03-06-2007, 06:02 PM

I know a guy whos got a '39 ford coupe with a 4-somthing. Leme tell you, it looks cool as shit. Nothing fancy except a clean black paintjob and a billet grille, Looks almost stock, besides the ride height and sound of the exhaust.

Check it out... www.gmhightechperformance.com

**Secret Formula** · 03-06-2007, 08:07 PM

**Randi820** · 03-06-2007, 08:16 PM
