Big cubic inch 5th gen that pisses me off.
Why? The motor is stout enough to make a man smile which i like that but the body design was poorly done to make it look like a rat rod. As shown in the photo link you can see how nice it was before the makeover.

well, the motor is wicked.
i know what they were going for. with the rat-rod look.. but if u ask me.. rat rods are vehicles from long ago, made with real steel panels and ones that have earned thier scars. these guys had a nice shiny car and spent hours sanding, grinding, scratching, and hammering dents into it. any sound minded car enthusiast will know that there is no way a 5th gen could have naturally deteriorated like that.. so the next step is to assume its trying to fool you.
its better than thowing "drifting 4 life" stickers on every panel and the other stuff imports do..so id rather see this "rat-rod" on the road

I never liked the manufactured-s**tty look. If it's gonna look s**tty, it should be from age deterioration. Fender does this with guitars too...never quite understood it. They take a brand new instrument and beat it up, wear it out, so it looks like it's been used and abused. I hope this manufactured vintage look is just a fad.

looks like crap. a rat rod is an old school car not a modern car.

Must be nice to have that much money and know how to F-UP a wet dream.
That is the WORST POS (body wise) I have seen and to do that to a brand new car is not cool, it's JUST PLAIN STUPID!
