(19,909 posts)I wasn't sure what to think at first about someone retro-rodding a classic like an Aston Martin, but I decided it's better to do that to a secondary collectible. I understand some people really like the design of a handbuilt DB5 and want trouble free motoring and modern emissions, but I think that's like updating the American Gothic painting with a weed whacker in the farmer's hands.
Chopping up an old mass produced Detroit classic seems less of a crime against the art. I'm not talking about hacking an historic L6 Corvette, but turning a garden variety grocery getter Malibu into a fire breathing monster SS Chevelle is an upgrade, not vandalism.
Personally, I'll take that kind of penis extension anyday. It's just blowing smoke though, I learned young that chicks dig guys in cool cars.
hahaha
