car show etiquette

aar0s · 08-15-2004, 08:59 PM

went to a little car show today that was a owners worst nightmare. about 20 cars mostly friends at a chirch fest. lots of little kids running around unsupervised. I pulled oune out of a buddys 40 something coupe that was pulling on all the nobs and kicking the shifter and a buddy of mine had to jump 2 early teen age girls who were hanging in the windows of his 69 mustang. he handled better than i would have but what I want to know is the way you guys handle a spot like this? i know i wont be back next year.

Yeah, a lot of non car enthusiasts just don't get it... especially when they have no concept of the work and love that go into some of our pride and joys.

A few years ago the car club that Darius and I are in displayed our vehicles at the Spirit of Ford (when it was still open). We had to watch our cars like a hawk. I eventually had to roll up my windows because people kept trying to open my door and get in it!! Also, some women walks up to one members Mustang and goes to sit her kid on his spoiler. Then, another girl tried to hope up and sit on it too! OMG... Just unbelievable.
