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

Personally,I am from the camp that if you are not there in person,you don't get an advantage over those that are.
Like when you enter a raffle drawing,and they call your name and you are not there,they pick another name,and rightly so.
I understand your frustration,but you got to know when to walk away,and realize how trivial this all is.
Recently a musclecar owner who is also an off duty cop,confronted a person who claimed a spot here at a local cruise.He ignored his chair and drove right in.The two went chest to chest,and got in each others faces.The off duty cop gently pushed the other guy to get out of his face,the guy fell down on the street and claimed he was hurt and called police.
The cop went to court for assault,was found guilty,fined and was put on unpaid leave.

..plus we are not new to this.

I agree Rick, like I said it is &quot;small potatoes&quot; in the grand scheme of things.. That is why I let myself cool down before I had words with this guy. I certainly was NOT going to let this go. That is the other reason why I pulled up stakes and left it was not worth staying there and getting even more mad or have something else brew!! I went home, put on my IPod and cut my grass....
