Clash at Coffee and Cars

I frequently invite children of the female persuasion to sit in my car. Especially the ones between the ages of 18 and 55.

I let people sit in my car, then say "quick, get out, I see the owner headed this way and he's an ass"

A few years ago at the Hot Rod Power Tour stop in downtown Muskegon, MI there was a high school graduation going on during the show. Two graduates and a priest from the school were trying to get some good graduation photos with my car. I stood up and said the photos would be much better if you were in the car. I shut the hood and let them get as many photos as the wanted. It clearly made their day.

The cars are to be looked at and admired by others. However, if the person was getting too close or acting like they didn't respect my property I wouldn't let them sit in it.

Here's how I see it.

Their children are their responsibility. Not yours. If people are at a cruise night or car show they should have the common sense and brains to control their children and instruct them appropriately If they don't they obviously don't have the brains or the decency. Therefore speaking your mind is fair game. If they don't like it. Oh, well. The TS doctrine applies.

You have the responsibility to watch your property and speaking up quickly when needed knowing their is one if not more in every crowd or all you will get is an "I'm sorry" and a repair bill and the aggravation that comes with it.

This is type of crap exactly why I have seriously trimmed down bringing my cars to public events over the years.
