Several years ago I went to a show and took an 89 Mustang LX with a nasty little 427 Windsor I had sitting around. Late in the afternoon, somebody points out a guy sitting on the front of my car. I walk over and ask him nicely to get up. He stands up and says "It's just a Mustang". A little irate at this point, I respond "It'll just be a concussion if you plant your @$$ on my car again."
It was no show car, just a beat up old street racer, but what makes anyone think they have the right to use <span style="font-style: italic">anyone's</span> car as bench?</div></div>

It was more or less in response to my asking a donut derelict to not lean on the back of my Lemans Blue '69 SS. Not an original one-owner car, but the thought of what it would take to get that paint back to the way it was, well, enough to make me wonder why I was there at all. I have not been back, and at a club gathering at the shop in Norco last Saturday, my partner and I agreed, it's just not worth it. We have stopped going to shows, Pomona, everything. Sad to say, but the "sorry, buddy" you get for the battle scar is just not fair compensation.

<span style="color: #3333FF"><span style="font-weight: bold">I really don't want to get to the point where I don't drive the car or take it anywhere. That's the most fun. I guess things will happen and you have to make the best of it.
