hoodride

[hooch317]

The answer to everybodies question.... It is called a "Thermador Car Cooler" sometimes referred to as a "swamp cooler". You fill it with WATER not ice. Inside is a blanket material that gets wet when you pull the draw string cord that is inside the car. The air from outside blows through the wet blanket and cools the air down that is going into the cabin. They only work in very dry climates. They don't work where I live but I still have one. They look bad ass!

[wickirsinn]

Nice sound - Nice clip...

humador used for cooling

[evilevo15]

@scottypimpin62

I've heard them called swamp boxes. I'm pretty sure you put ice in it and as you drive the air flows through the ice, thus reducing the temp of the air, then it flows into the car. Its an early fourm of ac.

[homenucleonic666]

very cool video, thanx for sharing

[scottypimpin62]

What's the thing hanging on the passenger side windows?

[420j0n3z3y]

@scottypimpin62 It's called a bee catcher. Basically, it's a scoop that vents the air into the interior through the passenger side window. Old school air conditioning :)

[Pardaco]

Nice hoodride man and the soundtrack is also good.

[rednoseroxy]

Hood ride/ Rat....

When you can't afford to do it right...

[inteligentvtec]

@rednoseroxy haha ya sometimes, exept when you see them with early fuch's on them.

[bighotwheelz]

VW FOR LIFE!

[bighotwheelz]

FOR LIFE!

[urbex2007]

Definitely "different". I am starting to like the look, but think they should have a huge turbo or subaru engine inside!

It's a skill turning a car in to a work of art.

[vtv7416]

fantastico!!!!!!!!! Bye from Italy!!!!!!

[Ashy121]

[mrdeathbat92]

[OoGutenTag]

[PurpleCorvette]

Cool song and rat VW's are neat, first time seeing them here.

[CrackHamsters]

[lilsk8r888]

[etiennedu18]

Hey its my car at 0:38sec !!

[k3esy]

@etiennedu18

Nice bug man!!

[justdrew89]

I don't like people who purposely ruin bugs like this I have a 1968 true hood ride no fake rust paint real rust and dents and a busted up interior. But I'm fixing it up to be restored but for right now I'm driving it until I get the money for a paint job. Some of the cars in this video you can tell they purposely made it a hood ride

[Ludo1100]

rat beetles and faithless = win

[lalokerastyle]

hey bro do you think if i lower my 1969 vw beetle 2 inches with some spindles and i have 190/60r15 in the front do you think the fender would be scrapping with the tires?

[mrdeathbat92]

Someone please tell me what hood ride is and what an easy rider is and is it a good thing?

[angelramos72]

WHERES DA BAJA LIKE THAT?

[666gunna]

Cool vid mate, Long live the people's car!

[mariodc]

A lot of Belgian license plates i see ...

Got my own 1969 Beetle convertible but needs a lot of work tho. Any help i more then welcome

[jainza]

Sweet rides..Music O H  Y E A H : ^ )

[jedibikes]

2nd pic swamp cooler

[roadknight3]

where do they get thowse big fenders?

[joeyyy777]

they make the fender's from scrap metall or other car's

[maliq32]

you can buy them. I think they are Fiberglass, but you can make them also.

[ocozinheiro]

old style! beuty!

[carsonbic]

doin it slow & low (SL's) for life

[elementalfunk]

how do they get the awesome finish on these? thats a serious question, i love the half rough bodies, do they just strip em and leave it for the rust? and what about the kinda marbled paint look? thanks

[Misterlonsdale]

It's something to put ice in...and when you drive and air comes trough it..it hits the ice and comes inside the vehicle (a cool breeze)..50-60's airco :-D

[rvmdutch]

ice in it?

i thought it just suck up air and blowes it into the car.

[FACASTI]

what is the device that some bugs have on the passenger window, is it a light?

[majorrojam]

Cooling!

[explodingsomepie]

I've been wondering that as well. It looks like a cannon.

[xylaphonemaster]

I'm on the fence with rat look. When it's a naturally occuring phenomenon that's one thing, but that's almost the lack of a look, function over form. & any serious bug restorer's had something rolling around with panels that were two or three different colours at one point. But making a car like that on purpose, I'm not sure why anyone'd bother. There's plenty of rusted up VWs out there, & you can restore everything on the pan and keep the body "original" if rust is what one wants on a VeeDub.

[aworange91]

The cool thing... They made HOW MANY bugs? Enough for each to do their thing, Be it racing, Hoodride, complete resto, etc.

[xylaphonemaster]

Too true, one of the few classics with enough to go around!

[zigler00]

good job on the video kid

[adysinnan]

i could never understand why would you run your vw bug all rusted and ugly? and call it rat style...

[master020702]

es excelente

[sailingseb]

nice pics,sad song. try again with

pamela rocket

[rhyspaterson]

do you have to hoodride with veedubs only?

[masterpoop67]

basicly if u dont it looks horrible unlees u use a car from pre1960s

[bennyhaslonghair]

i dont think vw's were the first rats out there, i think american classics and hotrods used it first, creating the " ratrod "

[flatonthefloor89]

vw ARNT A RAT ROD ITS A HOOD RIDE

[fridobiker]

very very cool.

[kche26]

tell me the name of the song... esta perrisima la rola

[littlepero]

yo yo !!

[mrpeepe]

vw RATS love em

[rey0176]

shitty rides ,got potential but not close ,and the gay music gots to go.

[limbride]

Rey0176: Go back to watching two dogs fucking please. Something wrong with you mate.

[icelinerke]

HAHAHAHAHAHA......LOSERS

[punkkid16]

Okay so im failing to see the attraction here. it looks like they take old beaten down VWs that they found in someone backyard and they slap some rims on them and away they go.

whats so so nifty about it?

they look like crap, if im owning a classic car, i want to look at it and want to drive it!

[airkewld63]

hoodride's are all original cars that are running and driving, that's the attraction. rolling around in a classic OG VW is dope! who wants a trailer queen?

[punkkid16]

ok well i guess everyone has their own thing.

idk, i'd prefer to have my VW look freakin awesome and turn heads as oppose to have ppl throw trash at me cuz my car looks like a rolling death trap.

besides its more rewarding to drive a car that YOU'VE restored piece by piece.

thats just my thought though.

im sure someone will give me a negative comment, so bring it on i guess.

[kche26]

yes man... restored piece by piece is awesome

[jainza]

Stop looking and shut it...

[rxgrip]

Hey "I" liked the video and the song and the "Hood Rides" of the dub world. Not the inner city shit rolling "ON" duds that's a diff. hood ride.

These are nice examples of vw hood rides, and damn the one at 0048 that's pretty good lol.

good stuff cj200606!!

[RoachGhia]

hoodride is an embarrassment.  The cars are cool, but Derrick Pacheco, the founder of hoodride, is a lump of shit.

[exilim00]

Damn childeren grow up. talking about hoods...

hahaha try go to school, and get a Job.

especially you rates11, why even bother comment these vid, if you have that negative attitude. leave the man alone!

[lidpainter2008]

DBD=AIDS

[lorseoc]

You should rename this video to "Big Steamy Pile of SHIT"!

[vduballtheway]

if u dont like hoodrides why u watching the fucking vid then??

[lee5490]

This video sucks giant, ant-infested, Indian dicks.

The European EMO-techno music sucks ass.

[vanhag]

HOODRIDANCE!!!

Hoodride is dead thought you knew? DBD was a liar and a theif. Hoodride is long gone and you guys need to give it up.

[aworange91]

Hoodride is like cal-look, It's a style. Just because a small percentage were douchebags, doesn't mean that the style is gone.

[vduballtheway]

rates11 fuck u, vws fucking rule

[vduballtheway]

sick vid man

[rates11]

Did I mention any of your txt shortcuts? NO! U think u invented text shortcuts? lol! I only corrected your misspellings showing what a dumb fuck u are. So, to your point, I've been to ur country, 4 quite some time. That's y I can say with authority that little shits like you with your gay hair-dos would be sent back to the UK in pieces if u rolled up in the hood in the US with your gay-ass VW bugs. No self respecting hoodlum would would walk past u with out bitch-slapping u. Good?

[rates11]

I'll put in parenthesizes how dumb you are. You said: "i would also i highly dought (it's spelled 'doubt') that u would survive round (around) here with a big month (month? I think you tried to say "mouth') like that u wouldnt (wouldn't) last a minute. well if u do ever happen to visit our shours (shores)i welcome u to venture away from the cities and out in to the country. well actully (actually) i dought (doubt) that u would even survive in the city. (Try using your spell checker dumb ass.)

[rates11]

No, those aren't hood rides. No brotha in the hood would ever get caught dead in a VW. It's funny what the British think the hood is. They wouldn't survive a minute in the hood in the US if they think they can come up talking proper English and rollin in a VW bug. They'd have to call your mum for an address to where to send the body. British children are so cute when they think they're cool.

[airkewld63]

man, i'm in the US and have driven through a local hood and got props from the brother's in my slammed rat bug. what you talkin' about no brotha would be caught dead in a VW?

[rates11]

And when your mother told you she loved you, she was lying also. Like I said to the moron who posted this video, YOU were in the VW, not the people in the hood. Anyway, what hood are you talking about? I didn't know there were hoods in Wyoming..

[airkewld63]

Wyoming? where you get that? you really need to go to a VW show and observe the different races that attend a show.

[rates11]

Calling these "hoodrides" is as gay as the kids in the mall talking all ghetto with their draws hanging out. Those kids would get fucked in the ass in a real hood like you would if you stopped your VW in a real hood, not that trailer park you think is the hood. think you're tough? youtube this: watch?v=OwCymQeX054

[airkewld63]

man that is scary! i would be so afraid! give me a break, i have worked in similar hoods. you think they all don't have guns? give me a break and get real

[QuintonBfast]

wat the hell these arent hood rides...lol
