Don’t hate the cars. The rod run is about car culture not the car. To the guy hating diesels. Many diesel trucks will smoke the “muscle cars”. We don’t have to like the cars and trucks. That’s what’s greats about our cars. They are just that ours. That means you and I can both have a 70 chevelle and I’ll build it to drive and enjoy with modern electronics and you may build one with and old solid roller big block that sounds great and is choppy but is hell to drive a lot. Nothing wrong with either both are awesome and serve different purposes. The problem with what’s happening to the rod runs is partly culture has changed, part because the way more homes have encroached on the town, and the people are trying to make the place something it’s not. Social media changed the culture because people realized they get more views by being rude and disrespectful which makes them more money. The whole thing snowballs where more and more are doing outrageous things(many even make enough money to do illegal things and can pay to get out of it). Everything and anything for content. To those talking about daddies money buying the vehicles. Actually more often than not it’s the kids buying mom and dad new homes and paying for everything. The system is screwed up that’s for sure. But when I was there in the 80s and 90 I was the kids and their ignorant cars on the thin tires and big wheels with 16s and oh my god 17 inch wheels on my mustangs. All I heard was “big block power” and “dual carbs make power not a computer”. “Fuel injection is for people who want to get groceries”. I heard all the hate. Now I’m the old man with the laptop out tuning and diagnosing the cars. Hate the idiots and disrespect all you want because I do as well!! But don’t hate the cars.
Great video and thanks for not adding any goofy music to it and letting the cars do the talking. Unfortunately the jacked up 4x4s are taking over all over and some are messing it up for all of us hopefully they will stop soon and let the classic car be by there self again
@@s2liquidize271 the rod run agreement with the city of pigeon forge is up for renewal after the fall rod run in 2025 and because of the daddy's money jacked up 4x4 it is rumored they are not going to renew the agreement again so like shades of the past the rod run will be gone from pigeon forge also
Aye I live an hour from there, i was there those days, The thing that sucks is there all Big alAss Trucks and No Hot Rods... Its dwindling away! I remember when there was NOTHING BUT HOTRODS just lining up the streets all 6 lanes not doing anything but just cruising and now 🤢
It’s still fun just not as cool as it was I agree. They just need to move the dates of the truck show. Or change the date of the Rod run. Either way they shouldn’t overlap
This looks like what's happened to our local rod run where I live. I said they should call it the Side x side, ATV, Golfcart, Moms new Jeep, Dads construction truck and daily driver run . Everyone wants to be in the parade.
Quit going several years ago, glad i did. All the trucks need to start a run just for trucks and stay out of the Rod Run. Also dont like the type of people that started coming to the Rod Run. Its a shame i am done with the Rod Run.
I'm glad they still have some classic cars and trucks but squatting and putting gigantic ugly wheels and tires on these modern age trucks and suvs just looks dumb.
Damn sure aint no ROD RUN anymore like the title says, with all the jacked up 4x4 "roll coal" or "blow smoke" attention seekers, on top of golf carts, side by sides and every other form of NON Hot Rod,,, absolutely RUINS the whole gig. Nothing great about a jacked up diesel truck show, unless something beautiful is being drug behind it on the trailer.
Man that car show sure has changed from what it use to be which was called SHADE OF THE PAST …back then they were nothing but muscle ,and show cars lined up all the way up and down the street parked and cruising ! …that seemed to be a truck show not cars !
Not worth the 6 hr drive looks like car and coffee here . I use to go and carry one of my cars but not any more . I know a lot of people up that way only have side by side to get around because of the roads. But goff don’t belong on the roads .
all the 4x4 and stupid looking squatted trucks need to go make their own event not try to take over something that has been established for years but I see why theyre doing it, they woudn't have nobody at their own event. All the 4x4 and squatted trucks and newer cars I can see everyday at my local Walmart why got to Ruined Run to see that crap, my opinion if it is not a classic it should not be in the middle of rod run
I thought it was a good rod run it was my 43 year i benn going let trucks and everything be a part of it the reason why people don't bring alot of bad cars no where to park trucks and trailers that transport them but over the years they have betsome nice bad a-- rods down there
@@jeffcarpenter396 it’s still cool even though it’s overrun with trucks. It’s always a good time in Pigeon Forge ! I’m not gonna lie if I had a money tree I would build a lifted truck.
Love all the muscle cars and custom pickups but those cars with giant wheels LMAO, 4x4's lifted and lights ever where and the suv's looked so funny lol Love GATLINBURGE until i became disabled i went 4 or 5 times a year its close to me. God bless Vote Trump!
I’m sick of seeing all these stupid trucks with more rim than they have tires it’s stupid squatting around like they are someone special they are just wasting their money
I live 30min away and don't go anymore cause some this trash that shows up with over compensation junk! It's a "ROD RUN" not a shitbox run!!
I remember when RodRun was muscle cars and hot rods, not vehicles with over sized rims and rubber band tires.
I remember them days... 😓
I remember when we could still drag race at night once the traffic died down. The early 2000s were the best years.
And not deisel trucks and punk kids.and more

Cars are beautiful!!!!! Thanks for the video!!! From Ohio
Glad you like them!

Yeah all the trucks do mess it up. They should make the truck show on a different week.
they should have a class per vehicle per week
It was Smokey mountain truck fest week what do you expect

I love pigeon forge .... the vibe is wonderful......they always have car show...and good food
@@christophergrubbs6169 yeah there is definitely a car scene there year around. All the beautiful scenery and roads to drive on.
Excellent viewing, a great clip. Ty
Sad it can't be like it has been in the past. I along with many have chosen not to attend any longer.
The truck show should be on a different date
Great coverage. 👍👍
Thank you. What a great time down there.
We missed this by one day ... Showed up to Pigeon Forge Sunday evening .. Saw plenty of the cars and trucks leaving though.
Rod run, not ignorant diesel truck run. Keep your smoke blowing jacked up trucks at home.
Should call this the gay run with all the 30 inch wheels and stupid Carolina squat crap it's a rod run you know hot rods muscle cars

@@mosierwerks yeah there is the 30s and 40s then there is the Grand Run Then The Rod Run
SO much for calling it a rod run anymore

A lot of daddy’s money driving around out there
CORRECT, JUNK TRUCKS AND PUNK KIDS, THEY WILL NEVER SEE OUR CLUB THERE EVER AGAIN, OR OUR DOE RAY ME !!!
Can't wait until the huge lit up 4x4 trucks are out of style.... and BTW those big wheel cars are already outta style. Lol
Quit going several years ago, glad i did. All the trucks need to start a run just for trucks and stay out of the Rod Run. Also dont like the type of people that started coming to the Rod Run. Its a shame i am done with the Rod Run.
I stopped going to Rod Run about 10 years ago because of the trucks taking over.
Yeah it definitely takes away from the rods
Booty patrol love it those goofy trucks is ridiculous but the other's are sweet
9:34 THATS MY TRUCK THANK YOU SO MUCH
Awesome glad you made it in the video
💯
I'm glad they still have some classic cars and trucks but squatting and putting gigantic ugly wheels and tires on these modern age trucks and suvs just looks dumb.
WHEN YOU GO TO A ROD RUN AND END UP GETTING FLATBILL HATS AND SQUATED CHEVYS
Didn't go again this year. Doesn't look like I missed much.
You are seeing one person's camera. Cars of all types are there.
I was in this video thank you rodrun 2024 can’t wait to go again
Awesome which one is as yours
Too many shots of trucks, they are not rods!!!
Do like they do at Sturgis when you show up on a Kawasaki.
Maybe they should start calling this event the great truck show. Too many pick ups for me.
Damn sure aint no ROD RUN anymore like the title says, with all the jacked up 4x4 "roll coal" or "blow smoke" attention seekers, on top of golf carts, side by sides and every other form of NON Hot Rod,,, absolutely RUINS the whole gig. Nothing great about a jacked up diesel truck show, unless something beautiful is being drug behind it on the trailer.
will you be covering slammedenuff?
Nope
Maybe they should have it on a different weekend than the smokey mountain truck show or vice versa...
Man that car show sure has changed from what it use to be which was called SHADE OF THE PAST …back then they were nothing but muscle ,and show cars lined up all the way up and down the street parked and cruising ! …that seemed to be a truck show not cars !
Block 6os ford. 4:50

If you like cars, this was the worst RR ever.

Definitely a cool place. The mountains is the best part.

I think I saw more high 4×4 trucks than anything.
YES, THATS WHY US TRUE HOT RODER'S STAY AWAY, NOTHING BUT JUNK TRUCKS, AND PUNK KIDS..
