One of the nicest people I've met, even if he made my JunkStang GT look even worse by parking next to me. This was taken in the Nitro area of WV.

That's one of my favorite colors on that generation 'Stang. Looks great!

Sounds like a nice guy!

I only come across King Dick when trying to talk to the More money people with good taste in cars.

I bought a bag of Andy Capp's Hot Fries in the Nitro area of WV once a few years ago, so you know, I'm right there in the mix too.

He actually struck up conversation with me first. Really nice older guy. Let me sit in it. Has 100 miles on the clock.

Thanks! She's a little rough, 14 years old. Just touched 100k though and mechanically it's perfect for the most part.

Hahaha yes! She's a little rough. 14 years old, just touched 100k though. Mechanically it's great, could use some minor cosmetic work.

I saw a Bentley at the bar Saturday (I can't drink, was just eating good food) and he was a total ass when I asked if I could take picture or two

Damn, I hate it when people act like that.

I tried to get a nice Pic of a Viper. The owner tells me that I "Better not touch it"

I always try and be polite when I take pictures or look at a nice car. I'm not the guy that leans on cars and touches shit. Outs his face against the glass, that kind of thing. This old guy was awesome.

Very nice. I wish more guys with nice cars were that nice and open.

Also, you really learn to respect any ride that's cool. The GT is a sweet ride you have, and it's totally fine being next to the vette.

We just had a cruise day with a great showing, and even had a bunch of grand prix GXP guys (which I don't really usually consider anything special) but hey supercharged engine, and it was all about the cruise with fellow gear heads.

We did have a lot of GTOs, a super bee, corvettes, evos, integra type R's, camaros, firebirds, etc too.

Thanks! It's definitely rough cosmetically. I need a new top, some wheels and tires, and maybe a Mach 1 chin spoiler. I appreciate every car. A gear head is a gear head. I 100% agree.

rough, but more fun than my DD lol. It's ok, if I land a job soon I am good on my way to holding on to my DD as long as possible and nabbing up a corvette in a few years

I'm finishing the screening process for the Toyota plant here, I'm in between jobs right now, if I land this, this car will be turned upside down and fixed if I has to be.

I'm not that guy either.

Some neighborhood brats were leaning on my A4. I was not happy, On Mah Propertah also.

My car is far from scratch less (damn shopping carts) but I still get unhappy when little punks lean on my car or something.

Fuck off, it's not yours.

Mini Jkm was actually respectful.

I remember that I would never touch peoples cars, unless I knew the owners. I wish kids nowadays would notice that. It makes me cringe when Kids touch cars to take pictures with them. Gahhhhhh.

I agree with this, the parents don't care though. They aren't gear heads. "it's just another car". Bullshit. It's not another car, it's a car that somebody put their life earnings, sweat, even blood into. Some people just don't understand the amount of love an individual can have for a vehicle, two wheels, four wheels, 18 wheels, no wheels, whatever else you have. It's a shame, and something should be done.

jkm7680 > Timmy - MINI With a Big Blower 04/08/2014 at 18:59

Fully agree! I don't care if I have the nicest Car, or the nicest Motorcycle in the world. I don't, but I've put tons of money into both of them, and I care about them as if they were family almost. If anybody messes with my car, they've messed with me.

That includes birds. Next bird that shits on my freshly waxed/clay barred car dies.

I wish more people had this mentality. I understand that things get old and wear out, but that doesn't make it just another car.

Dumb question, what does the claybar do? Once I get my top installed and my new wheels, I'm going to give the car an OCD cleaning. Wax included.

I get antsy when people get too close to my helmet, let alone the motorcycle...

Same, It's still a pride, and a passion

The Claybar removes contaminants in the paint, The paint will look shinier, smoother to the touch and will enhance the look of the car in general. I've got a white car, so it doesn't really make a huge difference, but it's noticeable.

I participate in an Ocd everything cleaning every once and a while. Scratch remover is my friend.

I was at sonics with a friend a couple of years ago in the Marauder and I had a group of indians lean so hard against the car I actually felt it rock back and fowarth a few times. After saying "Hey" a few times, I leaned on the horn and said "would you mind getting off my fucking car? Thanks"

I'd sure do hope so!

As much as I'd love to, I'll never own an Exotic car. Simply won't happen.

I watched two fat 12ish looking year olds tugging on the spoiler of a E24 M6 because Hurr Durr it was rubber, I almost went over to smack his hand off and say "Don't touch!"

I did not, in fact I came up with some bullshit recall issue. Something about brake failure or some shit.

Even if it wasn't my car I would backhand Pimp slap the two of them .

it would have been awkward if it was somehow the owners son but im 90% sure it wasn't

This is why I don't want to park my car on the main street at the caffeine and carburetors (which is where this happened). You have people walking by on all sides and I'm sure people dick with stuff all the time.

Hahaha, Is that an Econoline, or an Express?

Neither, It's a Ups Truck I think.

Somebody showed up to Cars and Coffee with a Chalkboard surfaced car.

Somebody drew Dicks literally all over it, Haha.

Hmm. I imagine I can pick one up at an auto parts store? I'll have to look up a tutorial. I have a vision for my car and it's in the works. I will definitely be going absolutely insane when I clean it. I'm having new leather put on the seats, and I'm installing new carpet while all of that is torn out. New top, wheels and tires, possibly the mach 1 chin spoiler. I have the vision and I want it, however if anybody touches it afterwards, they will die. Dead.

Timmy - MINI With a Big Blower > offroadkarter 04/08/2014 at 19:13

Pretty much along the lines of what I said, except something about brake fluid getting on the transmission. Some bullshit thing. Haha.

Yeah, Check out Auto Zone, and Pep Boys. They make window clay bar kits also, which are rather good for dead bugs. When I clean my car, I clean my car. For hours upon end.

Make sure to post pretty pictures! It's going to look great.

Oh yeah, Clay Bars also get rid of pesky dead insects.

Years ago, I saw a Ferrari 360 somewhere while I was on vacation. I was maybe twelve at the time, and I asked the guy standing near it if it was his, and if I could take a picture. He responded by opening the car up and letting me sit in it for a few pictures. I was a huge gear-head before, but guys like that always helped. I've never had someone react badly when I want a picture of the car (though they usually don't put me in it anymore), but that may be due to where I live.

Oooh, Same.

I go all mental about it getting stolen.

Disk Locks, Two covers. All that good stuff.

I've got a similar story. As a Kid in La I got a ride in a Ferrari.

very awesome good luck man! I'm actually moving on to an interview after finishing phone screening at a company that I'd REALLY like to work at. Would be the most amazing start to a career I could land.

Also would be likely a good salary/benefits to support the need for a c5 vette that I have. Yes, need . haha

It's not loud, but damn does it scream. Sounds like it has a high lift cam at idle, and it snaps and crackles. Dat 4.6 burble. :]
