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 ass people

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

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

taste is uncommon these days.

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.

StealthTL 02-01-2009 04:53 PM

Rust is the new Black.....

Rotr8 02-01-2009 05:41 PM

Thats is the F-ing stupidest thing ever,,,,
Can you imagine the Import models being asked to go up to those cars for a photoshoot, hope they have thier tetanus shots!!!
EPIC FAIL!!!!

what is the point of that? I might as well take a sh*t on my hood and tell everyone it's a new trend.

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.

This trend is spreading down here in socal - it's complete and utter trash - may the originator die in a fire

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...
