 Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2008 11:02 pm Post subject: Whats the difference? |
 |
|
Now I have joined this forum, I have heard many different words that I dont have a clue about.
What is a;
Hoodride?
Low rider?
Rat Rod?
AND Hotrod (i sort of have an idea about that but not in a 2cv way)
Could somebody please explain the differences and possibly a picture of a modified 2cv in that catogry. I have guessed a hoodride could be something about being a rusty body, laquered so it doesnt worsen and a Ratrod is a crazy modified car with no fenders?
Thanks

It's not already time to go out and partying wild, so I have time to show you here some typical examples:
Hoodride is VW movement born in the late 90's and dead officialy last year... No need to be rusty, some old paint is also perfect. Can't be with shiny brand new paint.
Lowrider:
Rat rod: It's a style of Hot Rod.
This one is ok, but usually I hate Rat Rod...
Hot Rod:
This is a very traditionnal hot rod : roadster ford B 1932 but there is plenty of different styles of Hot Rod...
Hot Rod is not a style, it's cars. A 2 CV can't be a Hot Rod... it just can be inspired by .

So a hoodride is the only 1 that could apply to a 2cv?
If hoodride is from the VW beetle cult, is a ratrod a new sort of modifing as they area cross between hoodride for thier bodywork and paintwork, hotrod for the old car they where based on and lowrider as they sit soo low?

To make it more difficult (and the list complete)
In the VW Bug world are many looks that you can give your beetle. Your also can be inspired to customice your 2cv. 
Cal Look (California Look):
No shiny chrome details, No bumpers or simple bumpers, Lowered, Enigine Tuning and Rims like Fuchs, Heavy colors.
Custom Look:
Everything you want to do with your car. Top chop, Lowering , etc, etc, etc
Resto-Cal look:
Al lot of Chrome, A lot af Extra's like old fashion airco or lights old fashion coca cola coolbox etc, Large Chrome bumpers, Imperial with wood, Old looking colors like beige and so on or two-tone, Lowered al lot
Old-Skool Look:
Original Car, Lowered with the nose down. And a Tuned up Engine Old fashion way, with old fashion tuning parts.
German Look:
Dark colors, with white turnlights and red/black taillights, No Chrome, and Porsche parts.
Rat Look:
Lowered, Original and Old and Rusty.
Hoodride is like Rat-look but Hoodride cars are technical in better shape and less rusty.
Dragster/Race Look:
Front Lowered, Big real Wheel, Lots of power, Top chop, Dragcar.
Original Look:
Everything original and Restored.
Personal Look:
Your one creation. You can use different style elements.
And New in The USA. Donk Look. This is to silly for words:

I'm not so much into all this style talk, but I found this the other day and I think it explain the idea of a hoodride quite well.
| Quote: | Cars are a lot like... Girls. Sure, you could stroll into a Mercedes dealership and buy a brand car along with a brand new car payment. Talk about a high maintenance b*tch though! You can't go camping in it, you have to keep the leather and paint looking nice and new, the stereo is at risk of being ripped off, it's a pig on gas millage, it's a high maintence girlfriend!
A Hood Ride is like a girl that keeps you happy, even if she's a bit rough around the edges. She doesn't want you to take her to the mall, she doesn't ask you if she looks fat. In fact, she doesn't require anything of you but your love. All of this, and she's still a hottie! Now there is a difference between driving a beat down Honda and driving a low maintanance Hood Ride. The difference is that the Hood Ride still looks HOT. |
Can a 2cv actually be a hoodride? In style offcourse but in fact hoodride is a beetle thing really ain't it?

Yes, 'cause on the hoodride website (dead now) there were mostly beetle but also some other cars.
If Hoodride exists mostly on beetle, it's just because beetle owners are much more aware about style and trend.
Usually 2CV know nothing about those, and they don't give a damn! 
Rat and Hoodride are different... I love Hoodride and I hate rat, and many people mix the both.
Rat is a style from motorbike, and the only goal is to look ugly. So there is rust, black mat paint, ugly stickers, bumps or whatever. The accessories look like shit and don't fit together. Roughly it's Mad Max Style!
Hoodride cars can be rusty but usually they have no huge bumps, and they are clean and in good condition (exept for the paint). They look oldstyle, accessories look cool and fit well together...
About Lowrider... it's not just low car. It's a movement from american mexican people. Hydraulics, 13" gold wheels, crazy paintings etc etc. The car is an american model from late 30's to late 80's...
Thanks Punky that's good!

Maybe this example is more "70's/80's drag style".

The explanation is good, but the example look like just bad tuning...

I went further in explanation about that, but roughly that's right. The border between two style can be really thin and different for different people!

Haha! That's excellent!
As I said beetle owners are more aware about style than 2cv owners... Amercian car scene and beetle scene are worldwide, and they make the style. 2CV scene is nothing, I'm not even sure it is a "car scene"!
Let's change!!

For mine 2cv I like the Old Scool Look or Resto Cal Look verry much!
In comman I like almost verry kinds of styles, ecxept the dragstar and german look!
But the most inportant thing is that the car fits it selves. and that every detail is correct and in place of the car!
And of course that the owner is happy with the car!!!!!!

You are quite right about the awareness of style I'm afraid, but you can't say 2cv scene is noting or there is no. It obviously depends on the definition of scene, but there are so many 2cvers europe wide, meetings are always good fun and 2cv people are friendly minded. Thing being is that when it's about the car it is mostly an "original look and technique" car scene... and when it is not about the car it is about camping, BBQing and side seeing, all very nice but both have noting cool or stylish...

As a car scene, I really think the 2cv scene is nothing. I mean nobody in other car scene look 2cv scene to have good example.
But it doesn't mean 2cv scene is nothing... As you say, and I totally agree, meetings are way fun. Yes 2cv people are often friendly but I also know many assholes!
I think Olli, and his photoshop, made the first step to create a 2cv scene. It's just because of him, VW and Hot Rod owners start to talk about some cool 2cv they saw in Internet...

I totally agree! Sometimes mix can look good but only when the owner knows the different styles and knows how to mix them... Most of the time it's because of this mix style, custom 2cv look so bad... I can totally like some 80's 2cv custom if it's coherent!
