This begs the question(s); Which is worse or more detrimental to you car's value? Having George Barris autograph it (possibly multiple times)? Or. Having an ex cop key it?
So I'm hanging out at the Orange Plaza car show a few years back and a dude I know walks up with George Barris. He asks if I know George and I reply not personally. He introduces me and George asks if I'd like an autograph. I reply that I'm not really into collecting autographs but thank you. George holds up a picture of the Batmobile and says I can sign this for you, Again I reply that I'm not really into that, save it for some of the kids. He looks at my COE and says "Should I make it out to you or the shop?". Before I can say no thanks again, he starts signing it, hands it to me and walks off, smiling. I wasn't sure if I should feel bad for him or just kind of laugh it off. Funny thing is, it's still in a pile of papers on my desk 3 years later. Go figure
That is a funny story to this somewhat bizzare thread. When you go to sell your desk, be sure to mentioned that you have an autograph of Geo. Barris sitting somewhere in a pile of papers on that very same desk. It seems to work in want ads.
If the buyer is wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a gold chain, more. If the buyer has a sleeve of tats, Chuck Taylors' and hi-cuffed Levis, less
