I'll play devils advocate, food for thought...
If it has tags & is registered & street drive, then it's a street car....
By some peoples thinking the cars that run in Drag Week,
aren't real street cars ??, seems that they are too me,
they drove all over the place, crossed state lines even, some 1500+ miles on the highways,
some don't have a radio or heaters, carpeting or even windshield wipers etc.,
some of the contestants even towed a trailer, with spare parts & then they run at the track...
I call them "street cars", maybe racecars/pro-mods with plates, but they are registered & they are being street driven...
Different strokes for different folks, fit into a specific nomenclature really,
one guys/gals car is what they think/want, not necessarily what someone else "labels them as"...
I use to drive my "Race-cars" on the street allot, the ones that had registration & plates/tags, "a race-car with plates"
many people would say those aren't street cars, or they have a cage, or they have a bunch of fiberglass parts,
or they don't have a radio, they don't have wipers or they have a hood scoop, they have racing harnesses, even they have N20 or a Blower & mech. FI, all the race-car criteria etc.
or those aren't "street tires" {looking at my slicks or "DOT" Drag radials}...
I'd always respond,
"it's registered, it's insured & it's being driven on the street" &/or those are "my street tires"...
I know it's semantics, but why pigeon hole somebody, or classify somebody, by what they have or don't have on their car....
It may not be a "daily driver" for commuting, or like used for grocery shopping, picking up the kids at school regularly {now that's a street car}
or cruising in bumper to bumper traffic,
but that doesn't make them considered "not a REAL street car"...
Does it ??
I've seen many people call some cars "trailer queens", because they don't drive them long distances,
the owners don't want to wear them out, or put excessive miles on them, for an extended period of time etc.,
what ever reasoning they have for not street driving or highway driving regularly, or why they don't drive them like a "Daily Driver" {IMHFO a completely different category, no matter the age or style}...
But they have all the necessary criteria for a "real street car", but that rarely hit the street too, does that make them show-only-cars/trailer queens & "not REAL street cars" ??...
If it's street driven it's a street car IMHFO :headbang:
