The new VW Trend

Apparently there is a new trend which started with the VW's and trickled down to other import/domestics. I am speechless.

Crazy *** people

Post whatcha think!

Wow, just....wow.

At least you won't see an '8 like that, unless someone goes to a LOT of trouble!

I think it's the ultimate ricer mod...

Super insanely cheap to do, and apparently lots of civics and VW's are doing it.

Its the new rat rod look I guess for newer cars. So VW really didn't start the trend and I guess on the late 80's early 90s cars it's not as bad as the new VW with it.

Actually this goes back to the days of the rat rods in the 1940's may be earlier.

VWs and Civics have nothing in common with rat rods aside from the fact that all three of them are completely played out and have been done to death.

Rat Rods are awesome.

Rat Hondas/VW's. Not so much.

Not really saying that they are Rat Rods, just saying the IDEA of rusty cars goes back to Rat Rods. So it really isn't a new trend, just re-applied.

I'd say it depends... if the originator was joking and making a comment on how people will do absolutely stupid stuff to their cars... then I applaud him, because he proved that...
