OT: Do you guys ever lust after hot rods?

My one buddy who buys and sells cars very frequently, had a Chip Foose built late 60's Chevelle on a heavily modded chassis. Full independent modern suspension, big disc brakes all around, and some sort of injected small block. That car was completely custom, looked old(paint was pretty wild)had a killer stance, and handled like a modern sports car. Big $$$.
Lovely to look at, but WOW where the prices have gone.

I don't think being a Porsche enthusiast and a muscle car/hot rod enthusiast have to be mutually exclusive. It's certainly pointless to compare a 993 to a hot rod but it's not impossible to like both.
Besides having the Ferrari, 993 and Alfa in my garage, a few years back I also used to have a '69 Camaro SS396 and a '58 XK150. The Camaro made a great big block rumble and was loads of fun for what it was.
Variety is the spice of life! Enjoy them all.
Cheers.

If I were accumulating, I'd have some Detroit iron in the pen.
A few years ag, I had a hankering for a V8. Bought a low mile '91 928-it scratched my itch pretty good, and it cornered and stopped.

That bug rod is unreal. How cool would that be to drive?!
No one's here to argue between a hot rod and 993 as they are completely different animals but there's a love of big blocks that I've had since I was a kid so potentially in the future I'd like to get one.
Maybe when I'm older but for now a restored 912 similar to this would be killer (yes I know this is a model and not a real car but how cool would it be as a real car???)

I have never owned a "hot rod", but have owned lots of muscle cars and old cadillacs. I would love to own a GT350 but that will probably never happen. A track modified 1963-64 Falcon is way up on my list of cars to own.
