Vehicular tolerance is up to the individual. One guy's dream hotrod is the next guy's nightmare. If you can stand driving an open-top Jeep to work every day, with a smile, you could probably enjoy driving a hotrod every day. A hotrod is not a perfect car, nor is it likely to be, regardless of how much money you spend. If you're used to driving a late-model Benz, Beemer, or even a Honda Accord, a hotrod will be like moving to another state with a completely opposite climate, or perhaps dating a bipolar stripper. Things will go wrong, but the good times will be some damn good times. Hotrods are made for right now, not for commuting to work for the next decade. Do you know how to analyze hotrod problems?
