Yuppies gave me a dirty look last night, made harsh judgements too.

    I left Mike's shop last night and headed out to get dinner with my wife and kid. The kid came with me in the '60 wagon, mind you the kid's in a proper child seat safely held in place with a shoulder strap, retractable seatbelt.
    We went to the yuppie area because we like this particular restaurant. My wife finds a parking spot before I do. As I'm driving by she overheard some people say something like, "Can you believe that, that's child endangerment putting the kid in the front seat, they oughta be ashamed."
    Now these ****wads don't have a clue as to why safety laws prohibit children from being strapped in front, it's because of airbags, you *****s. My '60 doesn't have airbags, but I care enough about my chillun' that I installed top notch safety belts in my daily.
    My wife didn't tell me what these ***holes said until they were down the road, I would've said something to them 'fer sure.

    Anyway, I and the wife were covered in paint, grease and dirt when we ate at Dexter's, I got my revenge.

    **** em. The new bar I'm helping build is across from a freakin wine bar. I swear this summer some yuppie's gonna wind up in the hospital or the morgue - they have zero consideration. Actually had a ***** in an suv ask me to move my ladder so she could park where I was working. We have the closest parking lot and the *******s do not understand there are things they should not do and say, like drive around and park behind the barriers we set up to keep them far enough away from the building that we can work. Saturday night one went around our barriers and parked under our canopy, we're converting an old sinclair gas station, planting his BMW squarely in the middle of where we'd been doing wood work and then threatened to sue if anything happened to him or his car.

    I can't wait to fill the neighborhood with proper hoodlums.

    Yuppies are just misunderstood.........you should be sensitive to their needs!

    Were they more liberal or more yuppy?

    They would be screwed if that 60 hit them, not your kid. That old iron is safer then their car I'll bet.

    Yup ignorance is bliss, they have airbags and crumple zones for your advantage in a accident, as long as the young un's strapped in properly all should be well, prolly better then in a new car. Don't let em worry ya Nads you know what they say about opinions........

    I hate stupid people like that...





    On a lighter note, you coming to the Roundup Nads?
     
  9. I hate stuff like that. Occasionally I drive my boy around in my MR2, which has no back seat. It also has no airbags, so I don't worry about it, but I will get some dirty looks too. He loves dady's go kart

    I didn't really just say I drive an MR2 on the Hamb... pay no attention to me

    Some just don't get it......
    We were rolling down the street at the local cruse in the '56 f-100, kids waving at everyone like they are in some parade, people waving back at them. Both were in their car seats, and buckled down good.

    Then I heard the same, some woman (*****) yells out "yea, that's real safe to have the kids in the front seat with you".
    Was I to put them in the bed? WTF.....


    maybe it's the airbag generation.

    Liberal means (or should still be defined as meaning) more open minded, and less judgmental, (not what Newt and Rush would like to have you believing,) so they must have been that other kind... :cool:

    By the way Nads, does the FL law let old cars without air bags off the hook on that "kids only in the back seat" law?
    From what I'm gathering, the new federal seat belt laws seem to cover ALL cars, regardless of age.

    Are safety seat size kids even allowed to ride in single bench pickups at all, anywhere?

    I was thinking the other day that if "we" start getting busted for no belts or worse, no shoulder strap, I think the defense should be requiring the government to give us a diagram/blueprint of THEIR approved method of installing said shoulder strap anchor on our '26 Ford roadster, or whatever.
    After all, if we have to have it, they must have a regulation for what and how it is to be installed, right? othrewise we could hang our suspenders around the top bows and call it a shoulder strap and you know they don't mean that, but what do they mean? They MUST spell it out in their law if they are going to make it law.

    Did I mention I hate Government/GANG?

    A few years ago, I was sitting at a stoplight with my wife and at-the-time infant son all on the front bench seat. My son was in a proper car seat, installed properly... in the front seat. Highway 'Troll (they do live under bridges, y'know!) pulls up in the lane next to me, and asks if there was a baby in the car seat. I nodded. Then Officer Fife started his sermon about having the kid in the back. I told him I checked into it before putting the kid in that way, and that I read it was cool 'cause my car is too old to have airbags.

    Fife: "Where'd you get that info?"

    Us: "The official NCHP website." (This was in North Carolina.)

    Fife: "Well, you can't go by that."

    Us: "Then what can I..." (The light turned green.)

    Now, if you see my car, you'll see Slide Jr.'s car seat in the back. The reason for that is the fact that I have a hard time 'splainin' to the kid why he could ride in the front of my car, but not Mama's car.

    But then I have a 4-year-old that's actually a better driver than most of the yuppies of which ye speak! (I let him sit on my lap to move the car from the front driveway to the alley behind the house. He does the steering quite well... even in reverse!)
     
  13. **** 'em. If yuppies didn't complain all the time, nobody'd notice them, and then all the money they spent trying to look and act like every other yuppie ***hat would be wasted. Fine example of the outright ignorance of the the know it all suburban safety police. I've lived around yuppies and I've lived in 'the hood', and while ghetto folks will steal your **** outright, the yups will piss and moan until someone p***es legislation against you.

    Those people are a waste of air, just filling the gap between the working cl*** and the wealthy like a matchbook under an uneven table leg.

    Can't wait to see the reaction I get when Frankie goes for her first ride in the bucket. Just around the block or maybe into a cruise site. Not on main roads. Momma and Frankie can follow me to a cruise in the dailey and ride in with me!

    That sux Nads.. I don't know why people can't leave policing to the police. I really just don't get it. Probably someone who takes **** at work and at home and feels like they need to give **** elsewhere..

    Not that I'm defending anything here, but new cars are safer than old ones by a long shot. Not that you did anything wrong I'm just commenting on what someone else said about old cars being safer.. they're not.. but I would still strap my kid in my '62 Imperial if I had one (a kid).

    Again - sorry man.. people **** for the most part which is I guess why we all hang out here right? Looking for other people that don't ****!!

    More than likely Nads, These yuppies didn't realize old cars don't have airbags.

    To them, every car has the same safety features as their Lexas.
    Chalk it up to ignorance.
    Totally related to this subject.
    How many of us have installed seatbealts into our old cars??????????????

    I love yuppies!

    1976 Pasadena California. A friend and I had been out in the hills practicing with a couple long range sniper rifles and our pistols. We were shooting long range prone so we were pretty dusty.

    Pulled into an upscale restaurant on our bikes. Didn't want to leave the guns on the bikes in the parking lot so we brought them in with us.

    Amazing how well you're treated and how many times you hear the word "Sir" when you're packing a heavy barrel big scoped Remmington and a 45 Colt.

    Guys in ties will tell you how they wished they had a ratty old bike instead of that mercedes parked next to the bikes. Their women are wondering wether to run and hide, call the cops, or dump the guy in the suit and follow you out the door when you leave.:p

    As for seat belts and front seats.
    When I was a kid there were 5 of us plus mom and dad. Littlest slept on the floor at mom's feet. one would climb up and lay in the rear window shelf and the other 3 of us fought over our part of the back seat till someone pissed the folks off enough to make them sit in the center of the front seat where they could get swatted easier. Don't remember any seat belts. We survived.

    The back seat deal is not because of airbags. Its that in the middle of a car is the safest point from any metal(or plasic in most new cars). Think of it like a safety cushion.
    Now, as for the yups that were trash talking.... Do ya really care what they think? I don't think you do.

    I don't think yuppies have a monopoly on ignorance and cruelty,
    those traits are slathered generously across a wide variety of types.

    if it makes you feel any better, I have in my benevolent wisdom cursed them and placed them in a **** covered hole in the dark recesses of my mind.

    they won't bother you again.

    YUPPIES HAAAAAAAA!

    that ol 60 wagon cold take a late model BMW head on at 60 MPH & still drive home.

    sometime ago we were next to a YUPPIE family in a VOLVO. we were in a rough lookin 55 chev 2 door with mega horse power & the yuppies were laughing at us so when we stopped at the stop light we sat there with the front tires locked, spinning the rear wheels revvvvvin her up with the rears spinning. the light turned green & we did a mega smoke show, fishtailin using both lanes.

    we pulled into the local parts store, wheeled around to the back doors & parked & went inside. next thing here comes the volvo. the yuppies wanted new windshield wiper blades, they thought we looked familar but they didnt see the car parked outside. -------- the Yuppie wanted help installing his blades. the guy driving the 55 chev says to him: you didnt even try to install them yet how do you know you need help?! --- i went out & helped him put those blades on because the parts men were busy. ------

    the whole family got out of the car & watched me put the new wiper blades on!!! HAHAHAHA they probably couldnt do anying but push a garage door opener or change the TV channel!!! (maybe they could plug in their own TV but i doubt it)

    i think airbags is another excuse for them to add cost to new cars....

    why don't they keep cars simple? oh wait, banks want to finance people and screw them for their money. and almost every american falls for that ****.

    O-Town yuppies are some of the worst there is. Being from Sanford does not help my social standing. My companies owner is loaded bot a down to earth guy. Sad part is he lives in Windermere/Doc Phillips area. Had to attend a dinner with these aholes. All they talked about was what diet they were on, seriously! When they asked what diet I was on I said North Beach Diet. What diet is that they asked. I replied that its all the pizza and beer you can eat. Drop Dead silence! After that I was treated like a leaper. I hope there BMW mechanic pee,s on there carpet!
