Re: I'VE HAD IT WITH PEOPLE AT CAR CRUISES

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: JBALL</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Here's my two cents.

Went to a show yesterday and parked in what I thought was a good spot in "Chevy Country"

Got all set up and headed out to look at the talent and scout for some parts.

Came back three hours later to find that the folks across the aisle from me had built a fire and crop dusted my car with a nice coating of ash.

Seems like bon fires with hot embers floating it the air isn't such a good idea for a show.. JMO... </div></div>

Quite a few years ago, a good friend of mine took his fully restored rolling chassis (with complete 409 driveline) to a national convention (emphasis on <span style="font-style: italic">national convention</span>). IT was parked with the other show cars in an underground garage. One of the principals of the organization set up a barbeque grill not 5ft away from his chassis and proceeded to cook burgers and dogs for everyone. Not only was the entire chassis coated with grease, but people used the tires and frame rails to sit on while eating.
After all, it wasn't really a CAR was it??

Re: I'VE HAD IT WITH PEOPLE AT CAR CRUISES

I was at a local show a few years ago. There was a guy walking around with a Doberman on a leash. This dumb azz actually stopped and let his dog pee on the wheel of a friends AAR Cuda. Luckily the friend wasn't there to see it. The guy was quickly escorted off of the show field and threatened with bodily harm if he returned.

That's why I don't take my car to any shows anymore. Not worth the bother.

Re: I'VE HAD IT WITH PEOPLE AT CAR CRUISES

Had my 67 Vette' in a car show -- it had yellow plastic chain in t-bars surrounding the car. Most people understood what the chain was for -- DO NOT TOUCH ... PLEASE!!! This lady walks up with a child and starts to ask questions about the Vette' -- before anyone could stop him, the little boy ducks under the chain and uses the door mirror to pull himself up to look inside the car. Yep -- the damn mirror broke off. Just an accident but there was a group of !@#$!@ to anyone that would listen. TAZ

Re: I'VE HAD IT WITH PEOPLE AT CAR CRUISES

I may stop going to car shows with my Chevelle as the question I get asked the most is "Is that a real LS6 SS" with a copy of the build sheet and window sticker right on the dash.

Time to make a new sign for my dash "Yes it is a real F@#%$N LS6 SS"

Nobody ever asked me if my 1970 Challenger is a real R/T S.E. though.

Envy and Jealousy continues.........

Re: I'VE HAD IT WITH PEOPLE AT CAR CRUISES

Like anything we all remember the bad instances. However, I'm guessing more than a fair share of the people who have had something negative happen have benefitted greatly from someone giving them a lead on a car or parts etc..
