    The number one thing that isn't cool, is being old. So we're all past cool.... (well, most of us on here)

    One thing at a time. The hours and hours that you spend on your hot rod that no one ever sees. THATS EFFIN COOL. Get it drivable and enjoy. Its not about paint chrome and money. Coxy

    The definition of cool changes as we age. Or does it evolve?

    People who ain't Kool when they are old weren't Kool when they were young
    Age has nothing to do with being Kool...........

    Couple of Kool old guys singing some of the Koolest old songs ever


    Clint Eastwood is 90 and Willie Nelson 87 ........and I still think they are Kool.:p

  5. Kool is as Kool does, white "T" shirts and jeans is Kool, Old men in Bermuda shorts is not Kool. Roper boots is Kool , shower shoes is not Kool. Rayban shades is Kool, Aviator shades is not Kool. 3 guys in the front seat is not Kool, 2 in front and 1 shotgun is Kool.

    Back to the original post in this thread, talking about agonizing over what may or may not be cool, you see some guys just kind of throw cars together out of a pile of parts they've assembled, and they turn out cool AF. For some guys everything they build is cool. Or it's cool to us. Some idiot on facebook has been posting a bunch of photos of a monstrosity POS he's building, taking a very nice traditional looking Model A and pulling the traditionally dressed SBC and stuffing an LS into it with backward installed headers even, to him it's cool. Whaddya gonna do?

    Truthfully, what is cool to one guy may not be to the next guy, it's a personal thing, if you like it that's all that should matter. HRP

    You can feel as cool as you like right up to the moment your 4 y.o. grandaughter tells you you're a dag.

    If you are truly cool, you would know that no-one else would know what the hell they were talking about. How can they appreciate how cool you are if they can't even be bothered to listen when you explain it to them.............:rolleyes::confused:o_O

    (I am trying to work out if 'truly cool' should actually be 'truly kool'. Anyone in the club that can check the handbook for the rule ???)

    Lol, isn't the epitome of cool, not caring whether anyone thinks you or your stuff is cool?!?! Most of the people I know think I'm crazy to own old cars and wood boats. They thin they're COOL, but they also know how much work they can be. Especially the wood boat. That thing makes cars seem easy. Imagine if you had to repaint your car every 5-6 years!
