Best friend could not believe I did not get violent

I always try t llet the kid sit behind the wheel and allow their parents to take a picture. If no camera is available, I offer to take a picture and email it to the kid. It is something they won't soon forget. To a 12 year old boy, it could be the lighting of the fuse that steers them away from being another baggy pants ricer.

 

about 20 years ago,when the street rod nats were in columbus,we were all sitting around and the guy with the girlfriend comes up.he starts asking me about the paint on my car.at that time it was candy over pearl,and he wants to know how i got it so slick?....did i use ultrafine 80 grit? i was going to let it go and set him straight,but my buddies couldn't let it go.they explained how 80 grit was the starting point,but to get it really smooth you had to go to 40,then 36, all the way down to zero.it was really hard to watch as this guy was writing this info all down.he thanked us for the info and left.

 

I am surprised you guys don't play Bull Shit Bingo! When we go to a cruise as a group we try to make game cards. You make an 8 x 8 grid on the card. In each square you put a phrase that you hear at an event, like "I used to have one just like it 'cept..." or "engine misidentification" or "You should have done this..."

First one in the group who declares a bingo (we use the honor system) gets free drinks that evening, courtesy of the group.

 

you guys are so cool.. when a random stranger stops driving on the road just to compliment my car i usually just say thanks.
i know now to tell him to fuck off because he called it a wrong name or a wrong year. you guys rock!!

 

what's even worse is when you have a jackass living next door. My next door neighbor always comes over to tell us how we should do this or that. always wears my buddies out when they pull up in their hotrods. "what color are you gonna paint that?" I just try to be friendly because he does a good job of putting up with all the noise that i make.

 

I always thought of it this way..When someone comes up to ask me questions and is truely interested in learning its like a breath of fresh air..
When some shmuck comes up full of themself and begins to talk out of his ass..well is still smells like bullshit from either end..
