Dear Streets, I am sorry you had bad experiances
I guess the people that have sat and touched my rides were polite and they ALWAYS asked. I did have one guy try to smoke in my Road Runner. I told him no or hit the pavement. He said he was sorry and we went.
I am teaching my son the same manners. He says please and thank you as well. We go to others houses and such and he knows if it doesn't belong to him, he doesn't touch it. It's respect and I figure " TEACH EM AT A YOUNG AGE"

As always, it takes a few to leave a bad taste in the mouth....sort of speak. i try not to judge everyone by the actions of a few. I know it's hard, but like I said I now have numerous friends building and or driving their rides since the first "touch".
