I drove my car to a nearby small town show to spend a wonderful, sunny day and talk to car people and make a few friends. Every once in a while you meet someone who causes an adrenaline rush and thoughts of "if I kill him in front of less than a dozen witnesses would they tell on me?" A mindless woman with some kids in tow walked by my car with a funnel cake on a paper plate; you know, one of those grease soaked pastries covered with powdered sugar. She fumbled the thing right as she was passing my car and the sugar went all over the trunk and side of my freshly waxed finish. She kept walking without so much as an excuseme, oops or anything else. I was torn between choosing wiping my car off or wiping her off the earth as a good use for the next 30 seconds. About five minutes later a mom and her precious litle girl walked up. The sweet little thing put her hands on the car to steady herself so she could put her foot up on my spotless side exhaust. Before I could get my hands around her neck or get the rage out of my throat that was blocking me from speaking, they quickly moved on, probably motivated by self preservation. Some peoples children.....
There are lots of people out there who have no idea how much effort is put into our hobby, much less how much money, and don't care ether. You just have to accept them for the idiots they are and keep them out of your dreams.
