I just passed some idiot kid on the way to work in a 68/69 Beetle hoodride "Rat Rod" (It must be cuz he wrote that on the decklid Roll Eyes). Why the fuck do these people go out of their way to make a car look like shit?? I just don't get it...

There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity and just by looking at that car the owner is as dumb as they come.

Keith, that picture screams, "Egads! I hope that none of my friends see me."

Very much not unlike when a dog gets a jacked up haircut. That poor car needs to be saved and either Cal Looked or at least returned to stock. Such a shame.

I hope that car gets saved! Looks like a solid starter for a project. I hope its one of the project cars that KCW have and will eventually get sorted. I have no sound on my PC at work whats he saying in the vid?
