I suggest you read the post again. I had to read it three times before I decided I had to respond.

Another reason to post The Trunk Monkey commercials for people messing with your car:

Yeah, I still read it as accidentally. Says the kid held the door (I'm assuming unbeknownst to him) as he closed it... doesn't sound intentional to me. I could be wrong, but that's how I took it.

That sounded intentional when I read it the first time yesterday and still sounds intentional when I quote it today.

There is no reason to hurt the child for the sins of the mother.


I've only gotten close to being nasty with a child once, and that was after I told him to not hit the car, he started to do it intentionally.

Punching out bicycle riders, slamming doors on kids' fingers, letting the air out of tires... Tony Soprano watch out....

I've hollered at a few disrespectful miscreants that p!ssed me off at car shows but I have no illusions about my geriatric *** being able to strap on some 28 year old young buck trying to impress his girlfriend. I might try if my Italian temper gets up but there is no doubt about the outcome.

That's a recipe for a kicked-*** and then the guy will lawyer up and sue you and win...

Now, if its some fat chick that pisses me off and my buddies will knock her down I'll sure as hell kick her in the stomach...

Why not ? Wikileaks can dump 60,000 emails of clearly nefarious activity and the perpetrators never suffers any consequences....

You gotta love the direction some of these threads begin to go in.

This went from an obnoxious car show experience, to tire deflation, child abuse, possible lawsuits due to violence and now, politics!

I love this forum!

You let the air out of his tires? That is something that a 16 year old would do[/QUOTE]

​​​​​​​Maybe. . . Depending on the 'temperature' over what happened that don't mean an 'old' guy might not go into back in the day reversion mode.

Some of you guys need to set up a little table next to your car and put some cookies and a little saucer of milk out for the admirers.
