Editorial; I don’t profess to be the last word on cars so occasionally you will find an error or two in car description, model, or year. My recall isn’t what it used to be so it get’s tougher by the year to

learn the new makes and models. Then come the “RAT RODS” I have to give them credit! Those guys as it make it almost impossible to describe a Rat Rod as Ford?, Chevy? Chrysler?, or other. They can be best described as rolling “JUNK” or a combo car with parts from many car, truck, bike parts as

as well as household items alike….all used creatively to be functional and hilarious. But I’ll tell you they are in-genius, and the parts it collectively took to assemble them took some thought and creative thinking! Hat’s off to you diehard road warriors….This Bud’s for you!

Well here’s another issue; Summer going rapidly so don’t hesitate to mention the mistook’s! and anything in particular you’d like to see in an upcoming issue, Happy Motoring!
