How can you tell when someone is a potential Hamber? In your neighborhood? At work? In a crowd? etc.,etc..
you never can... hell half the people on the street think I'm homeless, let alone have internet access and a 49 ford coupe.
HA! No shit. I was sitting out in front of my bar on a Sunday afternoon having a smoke and a guy and his two kids walked up to me and the kid said "here you go" after a little coaxing from their father. It was a brown paper bag with a sandwich in it! They were on some "make yourself feel better and donate to the homeless" churchy type Sunday outing. I was shocked. I looked at the guy and said "Do you think I'm HOMELESS???" and he got super embarrassed and said "no, we just thought we'd.. uh... offer them to anybody.." haha. Dude, I'm sitting in front of a business that I own, I'm on an Iphone, wearing hundred dollar jeans and that's my car right there-just because I have huge sideburns, tattoos, and a raggedy cut off Metallica shirt doesn't mean I'm homeless! ha. Idiots. (I also accuse people of being homeless who probably aren't, I just thought it was funny.)
id say by the car/s they own and what they have done to them or want to do to them i dont think all the jeans i have would total up to a hundred dollars even when they were new
Hundred dollar jeans! Where's the HAMB fashion police when you need em! You could have bought a car part or 2 for that my man.
lol thats funny as hell. good to hear you're flyin the 'tallica flag too id say you can tell a potential HAMBer cos they're the guy or girl who's either got their nose burried in a car mag or boring every non car person in the room to tears with their endless ramble about their future/current project/awesome car they just saw
Someone who builds and drives his/her car. That same type of person will help out another car builder for a cold beer and a sandwhich. They don't go to car shows for the bling, they go for a good time. They don't care what you think about their car because it is THEIR car, go build your own!
We spend more time on TJJ app than Facebook app prompting others to ask how we made our page look like that - eyes on yer own paper, junior...you wouldn't understand Poverty leaves an impression
If you see me in public just keep walking and don't make eye contact... its just better for all concerned
Walk up to them and tell them the 'Beaner says, "Take an aeronautical intercourse at a tumbling piece of pastry." If they look at you like a cow lookin' at a new gate they are not HAMB material. But if they grin and flip you the bird, give them the URL they are in there like swim wear.
1: if they know what PBR is. 2: If they know the difference between at Hot Rod and a Street Rod. 3: if they know you don't play a banjo, you either turn the front wheels with it or the rear wheels. 4: if they know who Ryan is.
I met a potential HAMBER in my neighbourhood - I had the garage door open and he was walking by and stopped in to see my truck (well, the pieces of it anyway). He told me about the rods he had in his youth, and that he's not into it anymore, but he kept a 303 Olds and 3 speed trans under his workbench just in case he got into it again. Not really looking but if he found a Model A body he might be convinced to build another rod. I think "not into it" is code for waiting for the wife to leave/die/back off/get a sense of humour. Told him about the HAMB, only problem is, he has no computer "My kids have those things on the internets". I gave him the URL on a piece of paper, maybe his kids or grand kids will turn him on to the net yet.
I wish I could spot HAMBers locally, there is no traditional car scene here. It's all camaro's/chevelle's it seems, nothing wrong with that but not my style.
