RAT ROD RIDICULE
Rat Rods are loved by some and hated by others. The reason is similar to why the paintings of Jackson Pollack are revered by some, and misunderstood by others.
Rat Rods are somebody's art. Art is open for interpretation and thus, criticism.
There is probably no other form of car craft that so prominently displays personal expression. Rat Rods have become a canvas for creativity on which builders let it all hang out.
Instead of being ridiculed, rat rod builders should be commended for their bravery, for standing up and creating something they know will be criticized, for dancing on the edge.
If you're not a fan of rat rods, that's ok. But the next time you see one, thank the builder for sharing their gift with you.
