Well this is a first, we were having our club meeting at one of our car show sponsors. the cars were parked by the road for people to look at and appreciate. There were about 15 people that actually stopped and took pictures and put smiles on their faces. However there was this one gentleman that had his hands all over the cars. Minor sin but still..... This guy gets in my car and starts going through the glove box. What makes people think that they can do this stuff? ? Turns out he wanted to know what year the car was.

Holy Cow! I know a couple of people he could try that on and he would have to be helped back to his own car. I can top that though. One time I took my car to work and never imagined that everybody would think that they could take turns sitting in it and going through it. I would have never imagined doing that to their cars even their daily drivers. What was even better was one of them wringing their hands around the grip of my Tuff Wheel all the while saying" Man, most of these have loose foam but this one is tight." My remark was" Well dumbass how do you think they get that way? Probably by some dumbass doing what you are doing to MINE!". From then on I locked it, even in the shop and kept the key in my pocket. And these are car guys. You might think about keeping a loaded rat trap in your glovebox for the next lookee lou. There is always at least one in the crowd.

That really sucks Mike. On that note, the first car show I went to some guy started looking at my quarters, crawled underneath and came up and said that's not original metal. I told him he was nuts and to keep walking. He was probably half drunk so he stomped off and got in his car and sped away. At another show a 70 Charger parked beside me and had a sign to please not touch. A women and her young kids came by eating french fries with tons of ketchup. Yep, the kids got ketchup all over his car. When he came back I pointed out the lady and her brood and he took off after her. Don't know what happened but she was escorted out of the show.

2 years ago at a show, 2 guys were eye-balling a nice 66 GTO. They would come and look around it and disappear and then come back. Meanwhile not realizing that we were watching them from about 4 cars away. Some of the other car owners at the show let the owner know and so he kept a watch on it from a distance. Well the dumb 's came back about an hour later, both got into the car and actually tried to hot wire it. What the hell were they thinking! 1. it was in the middle of the afternoon. 2. spectators and owners all over the place. 3. and 2 cops a couple of rows over walking the event. Obviously, the town these 2 came from were raised as mental midgets. Needless to say, the owner of the 66 GTO and some other good citizens (all car guys in the show) had at them. Both of them were pulled out of the car and handed over to the cops and it was explained that they both fell a couple times while being escorted to the cops.
It's amazing what some people will do when visiting car shows. Especially the parents that don't keep there kids from trying to climb all over the cars. If they ask to sit in the car, I have no problem. Just ask.

Bob let me put to you this way
The car has fallen in love with me and keeps breaking down so it can not be sold and getting tried of this situation
and yes I want to work on the R/T have decided the heard has to be thinned!
Ketchup hands--- people dinging it-- I have been a nice guy with the people that have done stuff but patience is growing thin
Think of it this way it's like have a girl friend that does not want to leave situation
Model A is going for sure
Rallye possible
Girl friend would like A/C so with those gone maybe Challenger
Can pick up a R/T with 5.7 for under 20 now
