Some people follow trends no matter what kind of car they have. Vdubs like the expensive oem wheels from other makes and I've seen plenty of them done "rat rod" style. 240 kids like wacky colors and dangling toys from the back bumper--where's the difference?

Hating hondas is so hot right now, you just had to take the chance to bash. Talk about following lame trends...

Vdub's been doing that shit for years. Those 240 "kids" are just another band wagon trying to be cool and look who is dangling shit behind there cars now n wacky colors.....honda. Older 240sx owners know how to keep there shit clean and well played. Not some teenage drift fan boy.

Sorry if this got you butt hurt.

All I'm saying is lots of people follow trends, not just Honda owners. Douche.

Please!!!! this is almost as gay as putting deep dish wheels and curtains on your car and calling it VIP. It is NO ways near VIP and the Hondas and other makes with the rusted out look etc etc are NOT Rat RODS.

1) to be a RAT ROD it must first be a HOT ROD!!! DUhhh

2) It must be a Hot rod made from junk parts and misc parts , not bought and built custom by throwing down a bunch of cash....(as stated previously)

Well the term originated from a vehicle that wasnt painted and finished back in the day.

All rods use parts from other cars, how else were they supposed to put a nailhead in a roadster? Rat rods dont have to be made from junk, and usually arent, thats just a trend like everything else.

Modern day rat rods are lame, especially on fwd imports Since no one can be original they always steal another idea. Big surprise.
