I don't understand people. A lot of people now have no respect for others property. I know there have been a lot of posts about this kind of stuff but i thought i would share what happened today (well almost happened). I was at work and it was inventory day and we had some other company come and count everything in our store. I drove my 65 mustang to work, as i always do, and eventually everyone figured out that it was mine...Getting to the point... I was outside putting some lawn tractors together when 2 of these wonderful people decided it would be cool to hit my car with a cart or something. Luckily for me one of the girls that works with me everyday heard this conversation. She explained to them that if they wanted to walk out of the store at the end of the day it was a bad idea because if they touched my car they would be leaving on stretchers. I guess they had some brains because they never touched. I just don't understand what makes people want to do stuff like that.
I'd attribute their deviant intentions to a lack of values & from substandard parenting throughout their formative years of early childhood development. Although this may be a contributing factor, this type of behavior points to multiple failures in our communities & our society on micro and macro levels. However, I'm glad this story had a somewhat happy ending that your stang was unharmed; thanks in large part to the great compliment of colleagues & co-workers in your midst.
Yeah I've heard that phrase before, wasn't it Ron White that once said you just can't fix stupid. What's going on Reggie, same old here, Mike. SCT Tuner.

You seem to have developed something of a reputation among your coworkers as being rather violently protective of your vehicle. Next time wear a 'Kill 'em all, let God sort them out' t-shirt on inventory day and loudly complain that you forgot to take your anti-psychotic meds that morning and those 2 guys will not only not mess with your car, they might offer to wax it for you just to keep you happy.

yea today someone decided at teh car show...hey lets lean my ass aginst this red mustang while i talk with this guy...
i was not a happy camper.
That's why my brother doesn't come to shows anymore. He decided that because my car has visible bondo and crappy paint that he can lean against it, and all his pants have big metal studs.
I know this sounds tacky, but I don't get jelous, I get envious. Like last night at the car show, a green/teal 1960 Edsel Ranger pulled in, and I actually started to cry. The owner asked me why and I told him. I used to have a spring mint green 1959 Edsel Ranger that my dad sold to the local scrap man for $75, who smashed the rocker & quarter panel on the drivers side so no one could buy/take it. I had even saved up to buy it from him. Unfortunately, it got even more pathetic. On my way home, I passed the scrap yard, and I saw that the Edsel was gone. I again started crying and I told "Oliver" (my car) that I didn't give a sh** if his engine blew up, I would put him in the garage until I could afford a new engine, but I would never let the scrapper get him.

I had a funny thing happen at a car show today hosted by a Ford dealership.
I'm standing there talking to one of the club members and this girl walks up, admiring the car. Then she proceeds to open the door (car show etiquette no-no).
I ask her if I can help her (with a rather loud, you're touching my car sort of tone).
She replies, "No, just looking."
As she starts to climb into my car, it dawns on her it might be mine and she stops.
"Oh, is this YOUR car?"
"Yes."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was for sale." and off she went (embarrassed I might add).
You've all seen my car. Does it look stock to you? Could she not see all the other cars with their hoods up - not looking stock? And of course she had to walk around my car show display stand.

OK, so I've added a few things to it. Check my Profile - too many to list here.

Thats weird. The car show I was at last night was hosted by the Pittsburgh chapter of the Ford Galaxie Club, and it too was held at my local Ford Dealer.

You should have told her, "Gee, the offer is nice but I'm married so I can't take you home with me."
