I have respect for those who keep old cars in shape,

So I hate hot rods...I can't rate them more than 4 or five !!!

I agree with that mostly. I think only the Japanese know how to make cars. But I do have respect for a lead sled done right. They're my one weakness.

Agree with you on hot rods, but you cant beat a Brittish classic like an Aston DB5, Jag XK120 XK140, Triumph TR4, TR5 or TR6. I only say this of course because I'm currently restoring a TR6

I want to build a rat rod, eventually. So you probably hate me. lol

Why hate hot rods? Everybody is different and most likely all those hot rods would rust away in a junkyard going to waste.
