Thread: '49 Merc

Tweet

The thing that really annoys me are kids unsupervised by parents who have no clue what proper decorum is at a car show. I have witnessed kids riding bicycles between cars, touching vehicles, standing on painted running boards, and opening the door and actually sitting in the driver's seat. The latter happened with my previous rod, a '29 Ford roadster. The early 20's young man opened the door and sat behind the wheel. As I walked up there, I could see he clearly had special needs, and I calmly explained to him that he could not do this or a policeman would come and take him away. That he seemed to understand. It's the small, local shows that are the problem. GoodGuys and NSRA events bring out a more enlightened spectator in most cases.

On the Tudor there are decals on the two rear side windows & the rear window that read "Finger Prints Piss Me Off".... quite surprising how many people (young/old) point and touch at them....
