According to Hotrod's Ol' Dad, Grey Baskerville, a hot rod is any vehicle modified for speed or appearance. So, guess what autocross guy you're a hotrodder.

Hot rodders are the old guys that show up to a cruise night at Walmart and promptly remove the lawn chair from the trunk of their car and then sit down next to there car holding court. GRMers are the guys that roll into a car show, take the spot at the back of the lot, get out, walk around, and then get back in their car and drive off before they have to talk to any of the old timer hot rodders.
You are a hot rodder when... You alter/modify "it"to your preference by necessity, with the means and/or material available. I.E. if you are compelled to make "it" yours/better/nicer/faster by your own definition. From; the beast of Turin, to a gruppe b sport quattro, dumping raw fuel into the exhaust to reduce lag, to an exocet, and finally to me, who installed new sway bar bushings on my explorer today, and tomorrow going to the pick-a-part to nab a rear sway from a BII, a full 1/8 of an inch bigger than stock, because I broke a bolt, replacements are $12.99, and i can have a better sway-bar for just 5 dollars more.
