things that are cool....

[RobM]

as a counter thread to the pet peeves thread i decided to list the things i think are cool!



rat rods......something about them i just love the lunch money budget hot rods...yes they're low tech cant handle or ride comfortably and a little rough, but i love them especially the scary open wheel very fast ones! flat black paint is awsome as long as its not faded primer.

nice radiator mounts....i love a nicely executed radiator mount

sleepers...i love tired or average looking cars with bad paint and 700+ hp under the dented hood and killer suspension! i have a friend with a Nissan 240 sx (front engine rear wheel drive import) that has a sr20 turbo motor in it with every thing done to it (really fast Japanese turbo motor for that car) and the car has stock wheels and peeling paint yet it hauls. i also like to see this done with any other car.

header wrap....in a world of ceramic coating i love to see black nice neat header wrap

nice engineering. I think many people on this board will agree with this one (i think Carl C.'s car fits this catagory perfectly). i like the non mega dollar cars that look awesome and out perform those 100+ grand "pro" built cars.

no cookie cutter cars!... i like original styling and ideas
