Wow, some of the responses here surprise me. I, too, am one of those magnanimous Cobra owners that invites people to sit in my Cobra for a quick photo op. However, I am also a father who has trained my son to keep his hands off other people's cars at car shows or even in mere parking lots.

That father at the car show needed to be called out. He was letting a 2-1/2 year-old walk freely a a car show? He needed some schooling. Sure, he was embarrassed and miffed, but hopefully he learned that some people don't want their car touched---and it's the owner' prerogative.

I wasn't there to catch the tone, but I would have been visibly annoyed with the dad, myself. If HE wasn't a dick, he would have apologized and tried to diffuse the situation. He was at fault.

And, really, threatening to toss someone into a dumpster? Another example of someone who should apologize and diffuse. Sheesh!
