Where are their brains???

Just listen to ya'. It's funny to read , it makes me laugh. Another stereotype categorical ***ociation with "gold chainers".

Just because a guy doesn't expect their ride to be treated like a ten year old Ford Taurus on display at "Bubba's Used Cars" lot doesn't make them a "gold chainer".

I worked 2 and 3 jobs most of my life to be able to acquire what I have. Is it too much to expect other folks to respect my stuff? Personally, I don't think it's an unreasonable request.

You can normally tell the genuine car folks from the Sunday after church sightseers. I do everything I can do to cultivate interest in the hobby. All I ask is for folks to respect my ride. Don't open the doors, or hood or invite yourself to sit behind the wheel without an invitation. And is it too much to ask folks to control their unleashed yard ape from mauling my car?

I'm not one to sit in a lawn car all day or all evening behind my car and entertain every question from every stranger that takes a look. I'm out looking at other stuff and BSing with the crowd. But when I'm there I'll show ya' everything, open the door and even invite ya' to sit behind the wheel and maybe even start the engine. I don't own "show cars".

I don't feel like I need to sit there and be on "guard duty" even though some careless dip**** ignorant dumb mother f*cker doesn't have the self restaint to control their hands and kids. And, many times it's not the guy with the chain drive wallet, slicked back hair and tatoos I worry about. Instead, it's the fresh from the country club gold chainer that drove his Lexus to the show that ya' have to worry about. He shows up and pretends to be shopping to buy a ride and acts like he's at the new car dealership trying every car out. We've all seen them, haven't we?

Also, it's silly to say, "Have your way with my ride and I'll repaint it if ya' screw it up for me". That's insane reasoning . I can't relate to that mentality. That's like putting a magnetic sign on your car that says, "Please Touch and F*ck Me Up". What's next? A sign that says, "Take 3 Swings With the Hammer for $5 and I'll Donate the Proceeds to Charity".

Reading what some of you folks wrote absolutely boggles my mind .

Like I said before, I guess I just must be a "grumpy old man" that was brought up by old school by parents that had/have respect for another person's property and taught me the same.

 

a little OT but i have to share. the dog ******* on the tire is what made me think of this one:

when my friends & i were 12 or 13, we would trash pick bikes, make them whole & paint them up nice (not too much different from what we do with cars now eh?) anyhow, my friend pete had this dyno bmx he built up & painted it krylon blue. it was dubbed 'the wheelie bike' because pete could wheelie it for miles. he also had this scruffy little ****zu dog named 'teddy'. well one day we were working on some lawnmower engine in the shed & our one friend noticed teddy takin a piss on petes wheelie bike, right on the tire. we all busted up laughing. well pete had the last laugh. he called teddy over & told him to sit, which he did. well pete whipped out his bird & pissed right on teddy's little black & white head. teddy sat there & actually started lapping up the piss after it ran down his dumb little face. im 27 now & i still have yet to laugh so hard.

i know it sounds mean & all but wtf, we were only 12 or so right? we did a lot of crazy **** when we were kids.

later than night, teddy was sitting on petes moms lap & she said "oooh teddy, youre so stinky! you need a bath!" we laughed our ***es off again but she never found out that pete pissed on teddy's head for ******* on his "prized krylon blue trash picked dyno wheelie bike"

 

That is not even close to being funny- even at age 12. In fact it's kind of pitiful if you still think it's humorous at age 27.

 

Boy o Boy
We have gone to shows where we are placed in a special catagory, year ,type ,etc with our 57 T-bird.It is modified with a longer hood scoop opened up rear wheel wells and relocated gas tank ,sport mirrors, incorrect hub caps, louder exhaust...(we believe its a old racer of sorts)... any way we pull in all covered in bugs/ mud-dirt from along weekends drive... the girlfriend climbs to sit on the back ledge as she gathers her loose stuff to put in the trunk before she climbs over the door..(its her car).
The other 8 birds in the row were all pretty and had thier wing nuts placed right thier build sheets laminated and so on..
ONE GUY SNUBBED HIS NOSE AND TURNED AWAY...
ANOTHER SAID HE WISHED HE COULD "JUST DRIVE HIS BIRD AROUND FOR FUN BUT IT WAS SO MUCH EXTRA WORK TO KEEP IT UP"..

So have a nice car enjoy what you have... have a fun car and wish it were nicer..

PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS SHOCKED THAT WE DRIVE SUCH A "PRECIOUS" CAR AROUND .. WE HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IN THE RAIN WITH NO TOP AND HAVE HAD PEOPLE WE DID NOT KNOW TRY GIVE US UMBRELLAS AND SUCH TO KEEP THE INSIDE DRY...THEY SEEMED MORE UPSET THAN WE WERE.. AND I HAVE FOUND PEOPLE SITTIN IT CUZ ITS OPEN AND"THEY WERE JUST LOOKIN"

WE JUST WANT TO CRUISE !!!

PAPERDOG

 

haha, funny but true.

 

Are you guys forgetting that 50% of the population is below average?

 

I don't mind the touching to a point (mines flat black) but at the local cruise last Friday a couple of kids about 8 or 10 or so hop right in my model A. I was across the street. The mom is too busy flapping her jaw on the cell phone to pay any attention. I walked over and said "you can't be in there" right about the time the dad walked over. He looked horrified. He grabbed the wife and brats and split.

It's the parents who need to educate their kids, that is, if they have been educated themselves...

 

my daugters almost 3 and it hard to tell her not to touch that car when she spends all week climing around in my and my friends hot rods. i tell her if were at home she can play in the cars but if were not at home or the shop to ask. I still get worried at shows and watch her like a hawk!

 

I cant believe how many "some kid climbed into the car" stories there are........what are parents teaching their kids?

 

I don't touch other peoples cars. My son doesn't touch other peoples cars.

BUT... if I was worried about somebody touching my car, I'd just leave it at home. And what is the fun in that?

 

When the car is in progress I'm happy to take it to shows and relax about people touching it. When it's finished, in Black (!) Delstar, I'll only take it to the shows where people have to pay to spectate. They're more knowledgable about what goes into making a car look good.

On the subject of dogs, most times they're a lot smarter than their owners. My pet peeve is the ***** who takes his dog to the drag races. Dogs have some of the most accute hearing in the animal world and dragsters are the loudest things on the planet, short of atomic bombs. Reminds me of what my pop used to ask people who treated their dogs poorly: "What's the most important thing you need to know when training a dog? More than the dog!"

 

ATTENTION!!!!

I worked very hard to think of what to write in this post. A man's post is like his wife, you may read it, but do not TOUCH!!

That's right, HAMBers!

READ IT
DO NOT TOUCH IT!!







Seems sort of silly, huh?

 

I touched it.

Got me ALL tingly!!

 

Hand prints don't piss me off... it people not respecting other peoples property. I work hard for my stuff... and work equally as hard to clean it up... I don't want some dip**** pawing all over it. I know a fingerprint doens't add up to ****, but its the principle... its not your... don't touch it.

Its called respect...

...**** tease... that's the stupidest anaolgy yet...

 

Actually, it would be below median, not average. How do I know that? I'm above average.

 

Okay, this is an old thread, but I didn't want to start a new one about what happened to me today. And surprisingly, this was the only one I could find.

There's a mom & pop grocery store near my house and I drive my T to get stuff all the time. Usually, there's a space right out front or I'll wait until there is. There's a security guard in the doorway of the store and he likes my car, so he looks out for it. Most of the time, I'm only in the store for like 5 or 10 minutes. Such was the case today. Except the security guard wasn't there.

So, I'm at the cash register, in line to be checked out. I can see my car clearly from where I am. There's a couple guys checking it out and that's no problem. Most of the people in my area know my car and don't even acknowledge it anymore. These guys were probably not from around here. Well, everythings okay until.... this jack*** starts screwing my mirror off! At first, I wasn't sure, but the girl working the register was looking too. So, I go to the door and loudly tell the guy to, " Stay away from my car!" He jumps and steps back a bit.

A few minutes later, I'm checked out and go to my car. The ***hole is still there! Like, you'd think he would have walked on, after being busted. Nope, not only is he still hanging out, but he LEANS on top of my windshield and asks if I'll take his picture next to my car. NOW, I'm ****ing losing it. I tell the guy, "Don't touch my ****ing car! I saw you trying to steal my mirror." He just stands there, giving me the evil eye. Now a crowd has gathered. I ask him, "What would you do, if you saw me ****ing with YOUR car?" His response, "I'd kick some ***." Me, "Well, here we go."

I'm setting my bag down and up comes the security guard. He calms me down and ******s the guy away. The thing is, no matter how many times I read about it, or experience it, it pisses me the **** off when people don't respect others stuff. And yea, I felt like Francis in the movie "Stripes". "If you **** with my stuff, I'll kill ya."

Sorry for the rant, I just needed to get it out of my system.

 

Man I feel you! That makes me angry and I was not even there! Some people just don't care and have no shame to boot! peace

 

must have been a meth head just looking to start something , or some people just like to start @#@# cause some where down the gene pool their brains got scrambled , or maybe a case of roid rage , who knows now adays , good thing the guard was there , sounds like a whack job ,

 

I have a strange rash from it and now it burns when I make tinkle. And that was 6 plus years ago.

Ugly hot chicks?? Sweat?? Rubber??!! Pictures or it didnt happen...

 

Lighten up Francis!..
Sorry! I had to..
Anyway, I would have went out there without saying a word and give that ***hole a beating he'll never forget..

 

If you had a witness to back up your claim that the **** dumplings tried to steal your mirror, that's were you call the police & tell them to send rescue too because you are prepared to protect your property.

 

Its TECH Week.
