My ideal rat rod would simply exude danger and power, with no gimmicks.
Painted with primer, no added nothing but noise and power.
In college one summer Saturday night I was driving home after a second
shift at a food warehouse, '63 Beetle. Coming up on a red light, there's
a jacked up camaro, 70's, primer paint, huge slicks on the rear axle.
He's stopped in the right lane, I'm coasting up the left trying to time it
so I hit the light rolling in first and can blast right by him. I time it
right, blow right by with the flat four air cooled engine wailing and
shift into second, watching him the rear view mirror now.
I see and hear him launch, front end lifts but the front wheels don't,
smoke rolling from both rear slicks and it sound like no muffler at all on
that V8.
I started rolling up windows and reaching to close the sunroof (huge
canvas affair), too late. Camaro burns past, tire smoke engulfs me, I
kept smiling until I fell asleep later that night.
