The street rods were out and about today

Just flew a mission to the grocery store and could not believe how many rods were out and about cruising in Michigan City IN.
Coupes, sedans, and even a roadster with it's passengers all bundled up to keep warm.

Pretty cool.

Made me want to drag our McLaren out of storage.

Soon, very soon.

 

No cruisin in this neck of the woods....6" of snow last night!

 

The "SUDS" in south Indy had close to 200 last night. The weather around here has been super! Moneymaker, just checked out a nice pic of you in the C.J. car on classracer.

 

we dont care about street rods. This is a traditional hotrod forum

 

what a stupid thing to say.

 

wow.

 

Well , now tell us how you realy feel.

 

The most we ever got in my area this last season was only 4 inches.... What the hell is going on???....

 

Did I miss something? I didn't see a single reference to STREETRODS in this thread. Are those dang kids playing on your lawn again there Grumpy?

 

McLaren ... seriously? Are we talking "Mclaren" as in Manta Mirage, Mclaren Mercedes, or genuine McLaren racecar or street model?


Ahhhhh crap ... what I meant to say was ... any pics of those "street rods" (with the Mclaren clearly visible in the background?).

 

It's in the title of this thread...

 

Doh!

 

O.K. Now I see the street rod reference. It's in the thread title. Stiil seem a little grumpy to me though

 

I saw a RAT ROD out on the streets today.

do you want to freak him out?? stop!!

 

What the hell is the matter with you .? If it's a hot rod and it's driven on the street,then it's a street rod. Sheeesh !!!!

 

nice!!!!!

 

Did you shoot it???...

 

My old car wasn't out and around today ... busy installing an EGR, PCV, charcoal can and catalytic convertors. Guess that doesn't make it "traditional" by any stretch but it will be LEGAL ... Don't worry, I'll close the door behind me on the way out ....................

 

Street rod, hot rod, what's the difference?
I didn't get close enough to check for originality.
They are all cool.
Isn't a hot rod that is driven on the street a street rod too?

 

We have a ASC McLaren Mustang 2 seat roadster.

 

Thanks

 

A former neighbor had one of those.... An '86 I think...

 

As long as it's old and garage built, i like em all on the street.

 

I'm 76 and I built hot rods in the 50's, now I drive a street rod. There I said it, I guess I'll have to join "Street Rods Anonymous". Getting old makes you mellow. If it wasn't for us old hot rodders there wouldn't be trad. rods today.

 

Yep, mid 70's here today and the rods were out and about...
including mine I liked seeing em all out there again after
what seemed like a long cold winter to me.

 

some people just get a case of the ass.....DRIVE what ya got...matters not...

 

the fact that you were there and actually lived the early days will only confuse them. and the fact that you like and appreciate other build styles just might make some here go into shock.

 

Well said, terrarodder, well said. The way I see it, you've earned the right to drive whatever you want. I'm 63, and hope I'm still building rods and am out on the street when I'm 76.

I like hot rods!
