:rofl: No such thing. lol lol

Sadly, around here they like to add aftermarket wheels, stripes, Trak Auto port holes, and the fart mufflers. They are not hot rods in my mind, but in theirs......

Yeah, hot rod Toyota doesn't have the same ring to it.

Not really, but eventually I'll get a car for myself again.

That is an easy one to differentiate----if it has front wheel drive it is definitely NOT a hot rod. lol lol lol

I used to see tons of those things around here, but they seem to have fallen out of favor. I know there's still some around, but honestly I can't recall the last one I saw.

The Crown Vic with giant rims is king these days.

Yeah, we have those here, too. They are referred to as a "Donk" for some reason. You have to go downtown or into Maryland to see one, though. Across the river in Virginia, we are Donk free.

Interesting how they made it rear wheel drive. There is nothing stock about it except the body. lol lol
That is no hotrod. By definition:
Hot rods are typically old, classic American cars with large engines modified for linear speed. The origin of the term "hot rod" is unclear. Roadsters were the cars of choice because they were light, were easy to modify, and could be bought for a low price. The term became commonplace in the 1930s or 1940s as the name of a car that had been "hopped up" by modifying the engine in various ways to achieve higher performance. A term that was common in the early days to refer to a hot rod was a "gow job". This has fallen into total disuse except with historians.
The term can also apply to other items that are "souped up" for a particular purpose, such as "hot-rodded amplifier".

I'm sure most do with home made fabricated replacement parts. I watched a documentary once about how they fabricated parts to keep them running.
