    I was wondering what all you people out there think is the epitome of hot rodding. It could be a car, a person, a car club, a car show, a magazine, a book, a video, movie, picture, anything. What shows the true heart of hot rodding? What defines it?

  7. It's a statement about ones inner yearning to not grow up and a desperated cry for attention:D
    Or it's just damn fun.

    Good call, Seesko, I think you hit the nail on the head. I don't think there is any "or" in
    this deal, it is "and" just plain fun.

    no, no... your thinking of an epiphany :D, an epitome is some sort of stark realization...

    Trick question. Defining hotrodding would be like trying to nail jello to the wall. It's got a different meaning for every generation and different meaning for every faction of every generation. The definition is undefinable.

    Is that Wabi Sabi enough?

    Perhaps you should give your definition 1st then ask others what it is for them.

    Wabi sabi...perfect name for a front engine dragster, huh?

    bwhahaha. I was going to say that. :D


    Hot rodding is making something "better".

    A person can hot rod a toaster oven if they set their mind to it.
