I mean, a majority of people are cool (that I've seen). Most are happy to talk about their cars and swap stories, etc. It's just a few people (in my experience) that have the 'holier than thou' shitty attitude that baffles me. Why come at all if you don't want to interact?

Now I don't want to be labeled a "Corvettist"...but allotta over 60 yr old corvette owners fall into that tight assed category....

I appreciate that man. Lots of sweat and tears for it. I feel blessed to have the honor of owning one and being in good company. Outside is done and BT engine jewelry will be done this weekend. Can't wait to share the pics. I get told you'll never get what you put into it. So be it. Raised my daughter essentially by myself! Drove a Grand Caravan for 8yrs! I was able to make it happen. You only live once and in the end I OWNED my dream car! That can never be taken away from me!

Also @Slowpoke387 I'd like to mention how much respect I have for you with that donation you made for Butch! Class act!

Is that good or bad coming from a cave awaiting for the a pock a lipse. We still have our strong hold even though we have not spoken in 20 years. We have our food, guns, ammo, cell phones, batter packs,,, all we had when my parents were concerned about the cold war and the commies coming from N Viet. Same situation and we have the same set ups. Take my Confederate flag out of my garage and I am sorry,, we are going to fight. Issues,, those are issues. Not every black person was a saint so don't treat every white convederate general or private as though they were murderes. History is what it is and can not change it. pulling the confederate flag from NASCAR will not erase the past. It is what it is, good bad or in different. Will not erase what has happened today or yesterday. Take down all the statues, bleed all the books, will not erase what has been from the past. Where and when will it stop?? Not to throw gernades, but there are motions from both sides and there are no excuces from either one, but to erase history will not clean up facts that are in the history books. Hopefully the present and future will be cleaned up. I will do what I can as an individual and as a person of numbers, but tearning down history is not the answer. Sorry NASCAR, but lost a true fan base.

In WNY we have our first restaurant hosting a cruise night. Its the second one of the year, and its pretty large (200 plus cars). I generally don't do many of them, and if I do, I stay an hour at the most. Last night I took the Demon,and had a friend of mine take my wife's C8. (I later found out I shoulda asked her first..) We parked about 4 spots apart. Now when I go, I go to check out all the cars and socialize. This cruise most of the people just break out the lawn chairs hang out in these little groups and chill. When I see a car that interests me, I always try to find the owner and get the low down. I got to this group of late model Corvettes, and noticed a 3 or 4 year old Zo6 with what I thought were unusual LED headlights,so I yelled out to this group of 5 or 6 very preppy looking couples asking whos car it was, this 60's something guy spoke up. I asked if the headlights came with that year vette. The guy was almost indignant, like he couldn't be bothered and just gave a smart remark, and went back to his conversation with his friends. So I just moved on. A half hour later I see this same guy with his powder blue I zod shirt, sweater tied around his neck, and loafers with those little tassels on em talkin to my friend that drove my wife's C8. It seems he gets a new vette every 3 years and was contemplating the C8 and wondered if he could sit in it to see how he fit (he was maybe 6'2"). My friend had to fess up and explain it really wasn't his car, and the owners kinda anal about his cars. the guy was almost persistent sayin Oh I'm sure he wouldn't mind I'm a Corvette guy. Now I have the utmost respect for peoples property, and I don't care who you are, keep your hands off my car..and that goes for your kids too, yeah I'm anal. So I walk over, my friend tells him I'm the owner, and this same "Corvette Guy", who a half hour earlier couldn't give me the time of day is grinning with his hand out wanting to shake hands, I listen to his BS about all his vettes he's had over the years, and then he pops the question, I look at him and say, that's your Z06 over there by that group of people, did your wife come with you tonight? He said yup were retired she comes to all the cruises, (now all the guys I was there with are holding their breath cause they know this isn't gonna end well) I'm pretty quick witted, and before you realize it. i've insulted you every way till Tuesday. So I finally say, I'll tell you what, c'mon back with your wife, let me see how my d*ck fits in her, and I'll let you see how you fit in my car....we gotta a deal or no...There may be a moral to this story...for those that don't get it...I'm a simple guy...You treat me good...I'll treat you better...you treat me bad...I'll treat you worse !

lol, that is great. What was the reaction? Walking off in a huff? The finger? That's the best part man!

Never mind - saw the post later down.

This a good movie, in so many ways. What speaks to me in this scene more than get off my lawn is "we used to stack fucks like you 5 feet high..."

 

[The Englishman]

Thread of the day ,pricks like that are the reason I havnt been to a car show since the eighties.

 

[Hunter]

I don't care if you come to just admire the cars...or if you have a car there or not...I treat everybody with the same respect..I really have no tolerance for elitism...I've met interesting car guys that do their own work with cars on a meager budget and I appreciate those as much as say a Hennesey prepared HC owned by those with unlimited funds...In my mind..were all just car guys

The rule:
You get what you give..

Also @Slowpoke387 I'd like to mention how much respect I have for you with that donation you made for Butch! Class act!

Ditto man. Im glad you did as well. The real class act is NVRENUF for adopting a dog in that situation. Really warms my heart. I see that not many people donated. Wish more people would donate, guess there arent many dog lovers over there.

 

[Jack_Toepfer]

I’m still trying to figure out if it was my sweater that made you angry or if it was the fact that I don’t know anything about my car.

Did I miss something, or is this a private conversation?
