    I need a rat rod

    I think I need a rat rod in my life. The Lotus doesn't really communicate "I don't GAF about your straight laced societal values" quite effectively enough.

    (Please note that I'm only about 15% serious about this. But that's still 100% more serious than 0%.)

    Hmmm, little too geeky and well put together for me.

    My idea would be to take an old coupe and chop the top down to such an obscene level that I have to install a forward facing roof mounted camera on it and pilot it via a live video stream on a dash mounted flatscreen.

    Put another way, I want a machine that elicits concerns from my neighbors that property values on my block will suffer merely by my leaving it parked out on the street.

    Now we're getting somewhere.

    Also, it would be nice if the main headlights were actually fueled by kerosene... Then maybe I'd have a small, non-obtrusive set of electrical lights hidden somewhere on the car for those times I actually had to see at night.

    You're late to the party by about five years. Five years ago you could have rocked a rat rod and people would have been concerned. Now that rat rods have glossy magazines dedicated to them, the only thing your neighbors will think is that you're a hipster.

    Naw, they still work, it just has to look original and not played out.

    So, like a thing that is unique to you that nobody has seen before?

    By your logic, everyone should just stop making paintings or music albums. Because, jeez, those things are so played out at this point.
