They are subjective, and as with most things subjective, not everyone gets them.

I don't get some music. I don't get some art. I don't get a lot of fads. Some cultures seem odd to me.

Some are built to be extreme, that's it, that's the whole goal.

I remember this from the magazines in the 80s when I was 15-16.

Built in the 80s, when hair was wild and paint was wilder, this J-2000 was designed to be THE Pro Street car to end all pro street cars.

Rick himself describes the thought process around the build as follows: First, I looked at the areas that defined a Pro-Streeter – areas like the engine, the transmission, the huge rear tires and the narrowed rear axles, the stance, the interior and the paint. Next, I determined that I would take all of these areas to an extreme. Finally, I decided to stuff all this technology into the smallest narrowest car I could find to get the greatest effect.

It was so insane that they even made a model out of it.
