It does suck running into jerks like that. I think you needed to call the guy out - so good for you! Don't end on a low note though. Sometimes I head out to the Philly Street Races just to hang with a different type of guys after running into a guy like you did.

The only mistake you made was that you should have confronted him as soon as he touched your cones. Asked him if he wanted his hands broke. I feel you as people down here try that same shit untill your in their face. Shame you had to leave. People have no courtesy anymore.

Ditto! I totally agree. You are not alone. The idiots and wannabe's are everywhere. We have people show up to &quot;classic&quot; car shows with everything under the Sun. Including crap that looks like kids in their Moms car.
The sadder part is some are controlled access events, and they let them in. It's not enough that we are always overloaded with the new Challengers, Camaros, and Mustangs... that are nothing more than new cars, maybe with some stupid LED lights. No mods. Just stock new cars, and they think they belong.

We share your frustration. But i would have been all over their ass at the beginning and held those spots. It's a fine line between being nice and sociable with fellow car enthusiasts, and dealing with assholes. It's always a call you have to make. Don't let them get to you. Go back again, and stand around the front of your car bowed up, daring anyone to challenge your spots. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img]

So the only people who have a &quot;right&quot; to enjoy the hobby are people who share your exact taste in cars? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img]

I agree with old5.0
Like it or not many of us old schoolers also have a newer Muscle car in the garage so when I bring my 2007 GT 500 Shelby instead of my 1970 Chevelle or Challenger I should not be able to park with the other cars?
Honestly it is not a nice thing to say to not bring modern muscle cars to these shows as the new era has some pretty kick ass horse power under those hoods [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
