But the whole thought process about the rat rod is that the builder isn't supposed to give a E36 M3 what other people think. They're built on the desire for speed and not to fit into what society thinks a "decent" looking vehicle should be. You guys criticize what the rats look like because they aren't fitting into a certain "class" of what you think they should be. That is what a rat rod truly is. It is not fitting. And these people who spend thousands of dollars mismatching parts don't have a damn clue about them either. They are part of the fabric of America and it doesn't matter what year the car was produced regardless of what people think. If someone wants to race, and builds a vehicle on a budget, and is more worried about the mechanical workings of the thing other than the outward appearance, it is a rat rod. Nothing more. Read up.
Um...Welcome?
The replies in this thread are to the OP's question.
The people who frequent this board are all for any type/kind/concept vehicle that can be dreamed up....most of the time on a slim budget.
Take some time, "read up", and you'll get a better understanding. This is probably one of the most non-judgemental boards on the net. ;)
I'm not sure he's real. Pulls up a thread thats 5 months old with no pictures anymore, as a first post?
Although he doesn't talk quite like a regular canoe
In reply to mtn:
Eh....I dunno..too long of a post and no "You can haz Viagra too"....
This seems to happen a lot with new member posts across a lot of forums. My guess is that he/she did a google search that linked to this thread, and it was compelling enough to respond to.
...haha...sorry about that little outburst. Canoe?
"I want to not fit in, just like everyone else"

Canoe is the word used around here to indicate a possible spammer / bot. You obviously aren't. Don't sweat it. Welcome.
