Dumbest sh*t I've heard in quite awhile

I have to say that I like my style of car for pretty much the exact reasons he sited. I don't have to worry about it when I drive it or park it. That's why our cars are more fun. I definitely would not have taken any of that as an insult.

Like when guys call one of my cars a rat rod... I just say "what's a rat rod?" Then they usually look at me funny. Before they can respond I say "I'm not sure what a rat rod is, but this is a hot rod." Now if I was driving a ****box for the sake of having a ****box with obviously no inspiration from hot rodding's history, that's loaded up with skulls and iron crosses, then that would be a different story.

 

I'll see ya Tuesday night...and I'll try not to take myself too seriously either.

 

please dear god no don't tell me the new owner is a huge douche... that car deserves so much better. didn't even know it was for sale..

 

At 46, you are obviously too old to understand puffery and posturing.
Once when I was young I chased a guy down in my car for about five miles and he ran off into some mud and got stuck. I pulled up and said, "well, i looks like you can't run now"
He said, " I guess you're right"
Gave me the worst beating I ever had.
Throwing it in park means that it is about to get real bad for somebody.
This is because of comments about a car?
Arrest for criminal ***ault can really ruin a day.

 

Maybe you haven't been to one of those shows with the guy and his 5K watch,$200 shoes,fake ***ty trophy wife. He looks at you and your car,like the rich kid you went to school with , who would make fun of your old tennis shoes. I only fire when fired uppon. I know the difference between a well intended comment,and sarcasm. I don't care how much you spent on your car,how many trophys you have won,what shop built your car,what you make a year,etc.. I like to talk cars,how you did this,where you found that,why you did this,etc. But,don't ask me my opinion,then get offended by it. I'm always polite. I wouldn't ever say something that would hurt a guys feelings or offend them. But, you get ugly,I can get real ugly too!

 

Bad Bob,

The radical gold '30 Ford Model A was build my by friend from Japan, it was build at a hot rod shop called Paradise Road. The white haired guy you were talking to paid $40K for the ride, he's looking to make a killing if he can find a fool out in the back forty. The '30 has some awesome workmanship and is well known in Japan. It won big time at the Grand National Car Show in Los Angeles, Ca. The guy should let his wife do all the talking, she seems to be the car person in the family.

"Cool Shorts Forever"

Cruiser 49

 

You kidding! huge douche,nope,he's an OLD douche! The car sits in a trailer. The only driving it sees is from the trailer into the shows.

 

HA HA HA some of you are too damn sensative. i just take that **** with a grain of salt.

 

I just read this whole thread and I gotta say I agree with Kirk! I mean I realy dislike the term Ratrod, but why do I have to put my self on the same level as some numbskull and start an argument? The best way to react is like Kirk does and make them feel as dumb as they really are! Unless of course your car is something to be ashamed of, then that would be a reason to be touchy about others comments.

 

40K? What an ***hat,for not taking 85K! If I owned it,i'd drive the **** out of it! Love that thing!

 

haha sounds like his wife is the one thats cool. hahah 40k sounds about right for that car, too. damn good buy, that old douche.

take 'er easy and yeah i kinda agree with the 'dont take it so seriously' guys, too, but then again there's times where you just gotta put these ****ers in their place and i totally understand that, too. never had to, myself, but im just waitin'.

 

The one thing that I hear over and over again...regardless of where I'm at is..

A spectator tells his wife,buddy, and or kid that my ride is a KIT CAR. Then thay ask what ch***is does it ride on..I say Ford...I get the Mustang II?? response. I say no...29 Model A as I walk away..



Some people's kids...

 

I go to all sorts of shows.... you want to see a bunch of rich ****s go to a concourse. I go in my old tennis shoes and don't care what others think. drive my old bombs, and again, don't care what others think. all my cars are for me to enjoy, believe me, you do not buy a 61 dodge if you want to impress others with your cool ride.

again...been in this for a long time and no one has ever pissed me off with a comment about my car. maybe I intimidate people and they know better than to mess with me

 

I know a few guys who have Hudsons,and get asked what year Merc it is,but never thought when I got a Merc I would get asked what year Hudson it is! Funny! The most asked question I get is "is that the car from Cobra?"

 

Everything he said was the truth.
You just don't get yourself.

I guess you were too mad at that guy to hear me say "How many people died in that wreck?" right?
Well, I would have said it if I was there because it entertains me to see the reactions...

If ya can't take a joke, stay off the ****in' BEACH!

and don't go to car shows where your at***ude and your head up your *** ***** brain is going to **** with the reality of someone just trying to make conversation every time.

He got it, but you subverted it with your ****y-*** tude.
Just like you aren't going to get this either.
Idiotic...

 

Guess i'm just evil. I've been to many Concours shows. It blows my mind,the excess spent on LOOKING cool. I don't think anybody buys a Ferrari or Lamborganni cause they are great cars,more for how they look in them.Maybe the old,collector ones. The new ones are just "road jewelry". I'll take the Primer Nats any day!

 

Don't let ***holes bother you..there's way too many of them around..Overhead at a KKOA show back in the 80s,when a freshly chopped merc went by,with old paint on the body,and primer on the new chop..........

"That roof is fibergl***,they just buy the top and glue it on."

Used to drive my 39 Ford everywhere..
Often,I'd come out of a store,whatever,find some ******* standing on the running board,yanking the piss out of the LOCKED door handle..
"Hey dumb***,that door is locked,get the **** offa my running board."

My favorite dip**** comeback was...

"Damn,BOY,you DRIVING this car??????? It's older than you are "

That was 30 years ago....
Ignore ****heads...they reproduce way too fast to ever make a dent in their numbers

 

I always figure, that nobody knows as much about my cars as me...........I built them.

If other people wern't so dumb, I wouldn't seem so smart................

Just take the comments with a grain of salt.........

 

Doc's ***** is chafing...

 

I guess "pissed off" was the wrong phrase... just pointing out that it's kind of a bummer when people overlook all the hard work just 'cause your car ain't shiny. But then again, a good point has been made here: who cares what ignorant people think? The best compliments come from those others who "get it" (actually, Gene Winfield complimented me on my lead work! (he said, with his chest only slightly puffed out)) and those compliments greatly outweigh any "input" from those who have neither the skill or the imagination to understand what we here are doing. While others are looking, some of us are doing, and that's the important thing.

 

2 years ago we took a run from the USA up to Canada for a show on Prince Edward Island. When we got to the border they gave me **** about "is that how it's supposed to look." I laughed like hell and said yes. I knew right there I was in for a good time. Up there they call the hood a "bonnet" so when we got to the show I get the beast parked for the meet and greet i hear "wheres your ****ing bonnet" to which I reply as I'm grabbing the brim of my hat on my head "on my ****ing head are you blind". International incident right, nope just a great way to get free beers for the evening.
The next day was even better. I park the beast next to a kid with his just out of the paint booth 68 Camaro who is spit shing the thing like a Marine going to dress inspection. I asked him if he has touch up paint to fix any scrathes he finds he said he did and kept cleaning. he gets done and tells me he found a gouge in my paint on a fender. i get this real paniced look on my face and run over to look at it and he points it out. i grabbed a Sharpie Marker out of the trunk and touched it up he lost it he got all his buddys to come over to meet us guys from the USA and more free beer.

We went back again this year and they remembered us and we bought beer in Canada yet.

why be a bad ***atude when crazy nutso whacked out mutha gets you free beer. Laugh at the *******s it pisses them off and they walk away

 

I swap around w/ cars alot.

What is great when the old guys at the shows come up and ask me how many I got. I show up every other month with something new.

I try to park away from the "goldie" rods...less headache.

The last show, 52Merc and I were on the far side of the show. This other guy who shows up late in his late model Elco parks behind us. We decide later in the show to blow the flame throwers. The "show-goers" loved it. Well this guy in the Elco stand back and watches and decides to pull the hair out of his **** and starts to yell and scream that our little 1.5 foot flames are going to scorch is plastic grill.

the problem was, he had 8 parking places to the left and right and many other behind him that he could moved to, but he didnt. Just the fact he was trying to be big and bad in front of his friends.

Needless to say; if you want to be an *** hole, well so can we. We kept reving and flaming, he left in a hurry, and the crowd still cheered.

That was cool.

 

"wow, this car is great...you can drive it anywhere and park it wherever you want and never have to worry about it...cool"

Haven been around cars and car people for the last 30+ years... it looks to me like he's the one that gets it and you're the one that doesn't.

Sam.

 

With almost 20k people on the HAMB, it sould be obvious that it's no longer 'you against the world'...

 

Personally I just like cars. Big buck, budget built, finished, work in progress, bring em all!

 

The **** y'all mentioned is why I haven't taken my car to ANY cruises this past summer..period! It's a '64 Ford Custom Tudor and is an owner proclaimed rat rod....red wheels, surface rust, hand lettered with a Magic Marker, roachy interior and the whole 9 yards. I tried hitting a few cruises in '05 and got so ****ing sick of the gold chainers looking down on my ride, or worse yet, the "experts". You know the ones, the ***holes that come up all friendly like and ask how your planning to build your car. I tell them flat out that my Ford is "done"....until I think of something more that I want to do to it and they likely won't like it... The whole deal plus my inability to find any fun in sitting in a lawn chair after checking out the other cars there made me decide to enjoy the pleasure driving the hell outta my Ford. Since that was it's intended purpose, it ain't that hard...

 

this is the dumbest post I've seen in quite a while.

Some of the people here are REAL idiots. You ***hole "rat rodders," and yes, you are rat rodders, are giving the rest of use a very bad name. Not everyone thinks like you, and yes, some of those guys really are ignorant. But instead of just p***iing them by and letting them be ignorant, you billy bad-***es have to try showing how ******** you are and getting into it with them. Grow up...

 

I hate drivin' my stuff anywhere any more- WTF is it with all these ***clowns, anyhow? ' What year is that?"(runnin' a year of manufacture tag, no less) "Is that a" (insert car make here)? " I use ta have one a them", "that uses alot of gas, doesn't it?" blah , blah, blah- then if you just try to ignore the idiots, they follow you around so they can get in your face with their stupidity... BAH!
