I got a thumbs down for my hot rod on Friday

It was those nerf bar things on the front. You were ALMOST there in his mind and then he saw the bumpers...

Other than that, like Bill and Ted say "Two. Thumbs up!" Party on Bill. Party on Ted. Party on Nads.

 

Here's the anidote. Thumbs WAY up. First time I've seen your coupe, Nadeem. Me likey.

 

"He was a crotchety looking older fella with a rebel flag sunscreen in his back window."

Hmmm....I would have smiled, waved like crazy, and blown him a big old kiss. Then romped the pedal for some fresh exhaust...it gets the smell of 'Old Fart' off the road.

 

Them grenades ain't gonna inspect themselves, best you get crackin'!

 

You probably cut him off.............DAMN RatRodders!

 

He's too busy getting the bubbles out of his rebel flag window tint...

 

when a person finally realizes that they can't please everyone in this world, they'll be able to ignore any bad gestures, unproductive criticism or negative comments that come at them. But ...as long as they are prideful, have an ego or a chip on their shoulders, their in for a long journey of dissapointments and emotional tumoil

Sometimes people have a hard days and want to take it out on the next person they see, or maybe they are always miserable ...you just happen to be in the right place at the right time and you became his next target. It's not your fault, they are just dealing with internal things you can't see.

Think about in your life when you've been rude to others for no reason, then you'll understand where he's comin from

 

Hagen just gave Nads TWO thumbs down. And quite possibly, a "boooooo."

 

At least he (I?) was paying enough attention to what was going on around him (me?) to notice something that pissed him (me?) off.

 

It wasn't you Mike, you love me, I love you too, we cuddle on cold evenings.

Hey Cab, I hear you, kinda, but I just can't bring myself around to be sweet and gentle, perhaps in my next life I'll come back as the Dalai Lama, until then I'll try my darndest to ignore a world largly populated with ***holes.

 

by the way, i just seen your ride for the first time on this thread and i give it a big "thumbs up".

Don't fret ...i struggle as well and it is difficult to ignore, but atleast your trying and that's what counts

 

Dude, I built this car several years ago, I've posted it on here a buncha times. I've still got to finish it but I can't get around to it because it's so much fun to drive, I gotta pull the body off to fix it right, it's an old drag car and it never lived a coddled life and that chop is the worst one I've ever seen. It was done in the fifties by a real hatchet man.

And I'm still trying to find some history on her if anyone can help.

Steve, thanks for your words of wisdom, I really am trying to be nicer.

 

Here's the biggest irony of all this: The crotchety old fool prolly doesn't remember the incident right now, and yet here we are, three pages into a thread, talking about HIM.
Not crackin' on you Nads, just thought it was kind of funny....

 

Maybe Just Maybe He Was Using Hand Directional Signals As His Rebel Flag Was More Important To Have Than Working Blinkers...
Also He Could Have Been Trying To Remove The Snot From His Hand After Goofing Up The Farm Style Nose Blowing

Maybe It Was A Dyslexitic Attempt At Thumbs Up

 

I feel ya Nads...er, well...not literally. Was out rolling my '51 last year...straight headers and an open hood. Some ***hat who was watering his lawn shoots a stream of water up in the air and timed it just like the dude in Mad Max throwing wheels...right on my windshield. Smart guy since I now know where his lawn is...

"Well there's yer problem"! It's those trendy traditional nerf bars that's got him so upset. Or, like Lux said, maybe he was flickin a booger!

 

Nads,,,I know what the problem is,,,,he figured out you are the ***hole that dug up his front yard a couple of years ago when you lost your brakes in that hot rod!,,, HRP

 

What? They have old people in South Florida?

 

I get all warm and fuzzy when I get "the look" kinda like I'm urinating in thier window as we go down the road side by side....makes me giddy...hehehehe...

 

I'd rather most people dont like my car, then I wont have to talk to them about it for a 1/2 hour in the parking lot when I come out of the store.

 

You should have your older brother beat up the crotchety old fool

 

You don't have the same "heart" sticker on the car that you have on the bike, do ya?

P.S. I dig chopped '34s, chrome slots, AND rebel flags.

 

Nads, this is Orlando, dude.....nobody here is going to like that car (or you) until you paint it turquoise with chartreuse graphics, a tweed interior, and some billet wheels.....

 

I bet it was the rainbow sticker...

XOXOXO

 

We get that "California is number one" sign around here all the time!

 

The old fart is probably the father of some ***ty dancer you have been banging and the gesture was directed at you, not your car

 

Nads, maybe the guy was dyslectic!!!!!! KNUX!

 

I'm laughing my *** off, thanks for making my day better.

 

fixed it for you

 

oh its probably because yours is better than his car and obviously he wasnt driving his Kustom ..if he even has one! I love those people who talk sh*t about rat rods and other custom cars when they dont even own one..he was probably jelous!
