Hot rod sayings

Dash plaque on my roadster "Don't just sit there watch for cops"



God Bless the poor for they shall inherit the Flathead

 

Cut to fit Paint to match.
Just like makin ice cream from horse shit.
If it doesnt fit Force it. If it breaks it needed replacing anyway.

Flat Black does not a hot rod make

You can put whitewalls on a garbage truck, but you still gotta garbage truck

That car was missing so bad its picture is on a milk carton

"the guy who says something can't be done should stay out of the way of the guy who's doing it"

 

Never lift!

Words to live by.

 

Don't laugh! ...it's paid for!

 

I read this in a greaser magazine:

Hondas are like Tampons....Every pussy has one.

 

"Caution: The nut behind the wheel has a screw loose."

 

"Go BIG or go HOME!"

"If it aint broke,break it!"

"I NEED the smell of Nitro in the morning!"

 

Real hot rods don't have valve covers.

 

I want a t-shirt that says" SHE RUNS LIKE A RAPPED APE"....Littleman

 

"Well, it's no bigger around than a beer can, but it's pretty long."

Ok so it's a different kind of "rod".

Used to be one of my friends and my favorites "back in the day".

 

Old Fords were meant to be HOT RODS.... or
Real HOT RODS don't have cup holders!!!! or
Save the planet... Recycle old cars... Build a HOT ROD!!!

 

My dad used to use a variation on this one. "She runs like a striped ass ape."

Saape (striped ass ape) used to be the logo for Trans-Dapt until the powers that be decided it wasn't professional enough to represent a company.

I went to see Jimmy2Bottle's garage one evening and some old old man came to visit too. While Jimmy was welding he asked me stuff like how's it in Finland and do they put salt on your roads and do you have cars like this. After a short discussion he shouted:

"Do they really salt your roads but don't then let you drive fenderless? Crazy, man!"

 

Hot Rodders make better babies

 

"Real men weld naked."

Still waiting on the eldest family stooge to backup his claim.

 

"My car ain't pretty....
...but it's pretty fuckin' fast..."

~Scotch~
(actually a Scotch original line from my street racing days...odd how it still rings true)

 

It's a Flathead.
A WHAT?
Never mind.

 

I know this thread has been off for a while, but I think it's worth resurrecting...

"I you want more inches...... Stroke it!!!!"

HC.

 

"Crossed threads are better than no threads"

 

In all my years, NEVER heard this one, and IMO it makes little sense.

 

Shiney side up, yes, all the others, not exactly every-day terms. In fact never heard any of them.

 

havent seen this yet, "Nitrous is like a hot chick with an std ,you want to hit but your affraid of the consequences".

 

this is what i tell about my buddy
He couldnt drive a nail up a cats ass!!!!!

 

OK this is a real car quote!

 

"That shit'll buff out"
