One show I went to was in a not so great area and there was this young lad that felt since his bike didn't have a kickstand that my Quarter panel made a GREAT place to lean his prize two wheeler there. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img] His dad was sitting next to my car on the curb and never said a word to him! So...I had to be the "bad guy" and remove the bike my self inform the lad that this don't work for me! Then ya get the eyes rolling from the dad that your an A-hole and they shuffle off. Yup...sometimes ya need to just sit put and watch the carnival walk by.

We have a number of local cruise nites in our area...most of the folks are pretty good. But,every once in awhile you get some nimrod with his brain dead wife and three screaming kids...two of them in the stroller [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] and they can't wait to lean, touch and manhandle your ride. Wilma is not a good boy when that happens [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

My friend was just at a local show with his nice 69 Chevelle parked with the windows down. Some guy had the nerve to walk up open the passenger side door look inside then slam it! Jeff turned around and was what the hell was that as he saw the guy walk away to the next car open the door and slam it. Jeff was like are you kidding me.... now I can't turn my back on my car. My experience is most people have no idea what they are walking around or looking at. Always be aware of your surroundings.

After reading Jason's comments I feel compelled to mention another car show "pet peeve"...I have no patience for the folks who run around at each car show and handout flyers for 9 other car shows...they think it is alright to reach in through the window and leave their propaganda on your dash, seat or under the wiper blade.
This is the most rude and inconsiderate behavior in my opinion..only thing worse is when they assign the job to their 10 year old kids..then I really get going [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

Sometimes you just need to pull yourself out of the equation. A friday night, after a long week, after fighting traffic to get there in 90 deg heat, and then some kooks pushing your buttons .... No thanks.
After awhile you know where to go and how to spot "the guy" or "the family" thats going to make you twitch. I still think that the one true enthusiast that " gets it" makes up for all the kooks. I like when they ask what kind of Camaro this is.... Not a Supercar, not a Musclecar, not a Z-28, SS or even a RS ..... Just a plain old Camaro ,and they made thousands of them. It is what it is.....fun! I've meet some of my best friends at cruise in's .....You never know who the next kooks going to turn out to be. BIG |
