[quote="geolemon"]Anything you can buy for under $100 is "popular" in the ghetto, isn't it?
I wouldn't say that leaves me "underestimating the popularity" of the car... ]
That's usually what it boils down to here. Since I'm in the south where apparently these are most popular (and they are, no doubt), it usually boils down to them buying up some beaten up shitbox and them starting on that because that's all they can afford. Plus, people seem to like those boxy cars. Hell, there's some guy in our town that painted one with flat black spray paint and painted the rest of the car with chevy bowties of all different colors. Not even symmetrical, they're funny shaped, half are upside down, turned on the side. Enough to make you want to puke.
But there are an equal amount of us building older Mustangs, Camaros, Caprices (60s Caprices, not the 80s hooptie-boxes that you're used to seeing), Impalas, Fairlanes, stuff like that. And most of us do it RIGHT
