Hotrods Aren't What They Use To Be

SEMA recently picked Leno's Ecojet as the top hotrod in their show. Considering I'm old school all the way, I think it sucks, but the younger generation may love it.

Here are two rods that were beat out of first place by Leno's creation.

Yeah screw that. I'm young and I rather have a rat rod. Performance before looks any day.

Re: Hotrods Aren't What They Use To Be

I think the coolest car Leno has is his Toronado...its not a Ford, but with the rear wheel drive conversion and >1000 hp on tap its freakin cool

sad that the eco-whatever was 'hotrod' winner- I'm sure its neat, but in a different classification...
