However, these rods are made, by design, to look rough and unfinished\u2014with flat black paint, or rusty panels, for example\u2014to distinguish them as hot rods that are used and driven, as opposed to purely show cars. With oftentimes pretty sophisticated mechanicals underneath, they are intended to be a \u201ccounter-culture\u201d automotive statement on substance over appearance. Anyway, they are one of many divergent branches of the automotive tree, but what surprised me was my friend\u2019s invective in his loathing of them. Statements like, \u201csick,\u201d \u201cdisgusting\u201d and a \u201cwaste of time and money,\u201d were used. Now, I don\u2019t in any way begrudge my friend for feeling that way. We all have our own automotive compass to follow, but the knee-jerk intensity of his response kind of startled me and got me thinking about whether there is such a thing as automotive prejudice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n        .memberful-global-teaser-content p:last-child{\n            -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n            mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<div class='memberful-global-marketing-content'>\n<div class=\"a07online-global-marketing-content-wrapper\">\n<h2 class=\"a07online-global-marketing-title\">No Subscription?
