I was at a car show in Golden, CO this weekend admiring a beautiful NCRA 1957 fuelie with 74.4 miles on it. Man this thing was beautiful! Perfect in every way. Along comes this woman with her kid on her hip squeezing in-between it and the car next to it (don't remember what it was) and the kids shoe is dragging down the whole side of the car! 
It didn't do any damage that I could see but it made me realize that I could never own a car like that. I would be too afraid to show it and then what good would that be?

We were lining up for a parade Sunday and a pair of older ladies were walking down the street with their lawn chairs - when they got to us one asked me what kind of cars these were, then then proceeded down the line with their lawn chairs swinging within inches of our cars

They guy must have had a lot of trust in other people. If I had something like that, it would have definitely been roped off.

I live in south Florida and see lots of very expensive cars in the parking lots of Malls and Supermarkets, but I still park as far to the back of the lot as I can. These car's are all leased and the owner's (temporary as they are) don't care at all about swinging a door into one another. They're just returning them in 36 months anyway.

My budddy walked away from his pristine Pantera in a car show. While he was grabbing lunch, some lady walked up the the Pantera, opened the door, and changed her kids diaper on the seat 
Later I dold him to check the fuel door, she might have thought it was a diaper genie

I literally had to get up, and walk away. While I was up, I checked my .45 Sig to make sure it was loaded.

I don't know how 47 of my local club members had it in them to leave their cars IN the mall this weekend. I stopped by on Saturday and most were unattended with clueless people looking and touching them. To me it looked like they were almost asking for heartache.
