What is a Cal-looker, and how is it supposed to be used?
Jordy/DVK:
For me my bug is and has always been my one and only way of motorized transport. After i got my drivers license 3 years ago (was 19 back then) I haven't really driven any cars. My parents allowed me to use theirs, but I rather went by bicycle than taking their car. A year passed by and I'd barely driven 5 times. I just didn't enjoy it...
In the end of that year I went looking for bug to drive and I almost immediately fell in love with the red '67 bug. After waiting for 2 months before I got my license plates I drove it for the first time. And for the first time I actually enjoyed driving a car! It's weird but it felt so different... I always had to get used to modern cars, but it was just like the bug was made for me. I did not even need a second to get used to it. It felt like a piece of me...
And that's what a car should be and look like... a continuation of "you"...
That's why I'm slowly going to change my bug into a (daily driven!) Cal Looker...
AND YES... I'M (gonna be) A POSER (too)!!!

Cal-look is Hot-Rodding....simple as that...
Define Hot-Rodding and you`ll have the answer....
It`s all about the Man and his Car 8)
I couldn't agree more dude - we're all just a bunch of guys who take cars (be it vw's or 32 fords) that most people would consider as scrap and we turn them into things of beauty - just my 2 cents ;)
Like Berger says its all just about one man and his ride 8)
Rick Meredith:
All good points. I have to agree that stance is where it's at. Oh that and single opaque colors.
Other than that, it's what your pocket book and desires lead you.
I have a confession about my car... while I did drag race it (legal & illegal) I was more into the way the car hadles and could be thrown around like a go cart. Kept the stock gearing in it cause it was my daily drive and I didn't want to have to crawl on the freeway. I'd run that thing all day at around 70 and well over that on occassion. Did ya know that you can wrap the speedo needle down to the turn signal indicator? ::)
Zach Gomulka:
Cal Look needs to have the stance, the wheels, single color paint job (I prefer earth tones), dechromed (traditionally speaking), and it MUST be able to hold its own on the street! This comes down to the owners personal opinion of fast. A stock motor isnt Cal Look. The fwweeeem of peashooters? No way! I believe it should also be compatible with pump gas, because to me, filling up on the street is what makes a car a street car.
