I parked my car today just as two women with little kids were approaching their car with their shopping cart. I walked a little ways, and then watched them, thinking that I'd go back and move their cart if they left it there. They saw me watching them, and they put their cart away.

Sometimes, though, I wonder if being careful just translates to provocation.

Mine isn't a show car by any stretch of the imagination but it's mine and I like it. I don't usually run errands in it just because the only purpose it serves is being awesome.
If I am out at a retail spot I'll try to figure out where the employees park. Not that they wouldn't do something to it but much fewer shopping carts and less foot traffic.

Go figure.. Sad but true

I have a bunch of fiberglass parts I bought from Wilcox at Bloomington back in 1978. As luck would have it, I never used them.

Can I return them?



I never understand being mad at people that can't help you. Yelling at them isn't going to magically instill some secret knowledge into them so they can help you.

Heck, if all you need is a bump to stick around, we can all start bumping you. I imagine many are like me, commenting on one of your sales messages without either an inquiry about the parts or something useful to add wasn't really allowed. But now I see that anything will bump you and help you.

If it's those 62 fenders, quarter panels and door skins you paid 100.00 bucks for sure.... There may be a restock fee though... bah ha ha ha..

Funny I still have all the work books and show specials from the shows and it cracks me up at the prices.. (mid year tail lamps on show special in 1981 were 100.00 dollars a set).

I'm sorry I've distracted away from the OP's post...

Take care and you all have a great weekend.

Ernie

People are crazy! More and more seem to think that rules are for someone else. As for common courtesy? Forget it, it's been forgot.
