Are ratrods stupid or is it just their owners?

Rat rods are cool.
People who think calling their lump of wasted effort a "Rat rod" absolves them of all their cobblehackery are special.

I can care less about the guy driving a **** project. At least he's enjoying it. But the morons who think a non running project that is booger welded together is worth $25k over scrap value have a special place in hell.
