Can't say that I like it either, and they are far from "traditional" but
you guys are starting to sound like my granddad and his old geezer car
buddies when my age group started building "Hot Rods" back in the 60's.
They thought we "ruined" every Model A or Duece Coupe we
touched. ...and a lead sled Merc with cadillac tailights whoa!! you
really crossed the line!
I say... Like the old lady that kissed the cow.... To each his
own!!!

I'm usually the first to defend someone else's car, but damn! The problem
is in the last few years these freakish vehicles have somehow been linked to
the Rockabilly scene and called "traditional kustoms and hot rods". I for one
love the scene but like real "traditional" cars and have felt somewhat
embarrassed by the "new" so called traditional cars popping up. I also hate
this whole "rat rod" thing. A few years back traditional cars that were
somewhat worn or used looking were called "rat rods", now it's anything
painted flat black, and the skulls and Maltese crosses are getting out of
hand. $4,100 for a $1,000 car with fins welded on it, I'm in the wrong
business.
