Rat

Post by inliner_04 »

What do people think about the whole rat thing. Personally i hate it, and cant understand why making your car look crap, looks good :?
I understand people making cars really fast but making them look crap to give that element of suprise when they beat you at the lights or whatever, but why deliberatly ruin your car. . .
does anyone remember the fast car issue a few months ago with the ratted corsa in. I think it would have looked pretty sexy if it didnt have the rusty bonnet.

well if you make ur car look poo, it will look poo
i suppose its more for people who build street sleepers, cars that look like a rusty bag of cack, but drives n handles really well (or goes really fast!)
i coudnlt drive round in a car that looks a mess i hate driving my car when it mucky nemind rusty!

so no rat is crap dont bother!
that said its better that looking like you driven thru halfords n bought one of eveything like most cars are these days

to be fair that corsa doesnt really look ratty enough. The wheels and buckets and wide wheels make it blatently obv that it had love put into it. not like these hill billy wanna be cars lol!
