Re: Attention you get on the road
I lived on the island . People were bad even then I left in 81 don’t regret it for a second . Been back a handful of times . Thankfully I have no family out there anymore. They either moved up around me or to PA . People here wave even when driving my regular cars and I don’t know them but wave back

Re: Attention you get on the road
I got other things I got to do, but I had to pop back on and say how much I ultimately enjoyed your assessment of my socio-political perspective, based solely on the city I live in. Oh, yeah and the fact that I like happy people. I'm not a fan of redundancy, but I will say again that enjoying shared interests is one of my favorite things about owning cars, and being human. BTW, I have heard that people from your area tend to express themselves aggressively, have you ever considered that that is playing into how people show interest in your vehicles?

You disagree, fair enough. Oh so according to you I’m a bad person for not responding to bad actors how you want me to. Because I keep saying bad actors and you ignore it focusing instead on the one person I flipped off while I’ve said nothing about the reactions I gave to other bad actors. Quote:

Re: Attention you get on the road
My wife had a bit of an altercation yesterday. She had an appointment with our tax guy.
His office is right next door to The Salvation Army. And they were having a food bank at the time. Giving out food. There was a line of people out front. So she pulls up in the yellow Corvette and immediately starts getting dirty looks. One woman yells at her that she has no business being there. Now my wife doesn't take any cr@p off anyone. She told the woman that she was getting her taxes done so she could get a big fat refund. Then pointed at the tax office. Then the woman said that she didn't need any food either. Dumb thing to say. So my wife told her to get out of the line and leave the food to those who need it. Now the other woman was the one getting the dirty looks. She didn't say another word.

Re: Attention you get on the road
Amen to that, I’ve only been married once and she’s the best I could ever ask for, that said she’s 4.5 months pregnant with kid number 3; I don’t talk back much these days, sometimes I think she’d kick my butt if I pushed her buttons too hard right now haha.

Re: Attention you get on the road
On Saturday I hauled some old 19.5 tires into the tire shop for disposal with my '74. The shop owner was all over the truck, peeking in the fenders and asking all sorts of questions. I was happy to talk with him- usually I find those guys are more down to earth anyway and can appreciate the older trucks.
I'm a member of our local car club and taken it to a couple shows downtown. As a new guy to the club and to town no one really knows me that well but I'd say only one club member really showed interest in the truck, even with the club president as my next door neighbor. I'm one of the youngest guys in the club too, club participation is pretty low for anyone 40 and younger. I've made the effort to make it known I'm working on my Napco pickup and asked what other members are up to but no one seems interested or even responds. If it was a muscle car or car in general there would be more interest.

Re: Attention you get on the road
I'm a fool for collecting things but ex-wives is not one of them. One and done for me. Ex-girlfriends are bad enough. I have no shortage of those, and I'm willing to keep collecting till I can't collect no more!

Re: Attention you get on the road
They make a three piece rocker with the same image . Good way to cause a problem with the local 1%ers. Not that car clubs are like that. Now there is an organization called the skulls car club , they have no dues meetings or sponsored car shows . Just a group of guys that get together at shows

Re: Attention you get on the road
I still have my "Worthless Cruisers" t-shirts I bought from SEE TEN years ago. Not a club, but a bunch of his buddies who are into >building & driving< cool old stuff who got tired of people telling them what they thought their cars & trucks are worth. They just love their stuff so they call them worthless. My feelings about clubs equates to about the same. If that's your thing, fine. Not for me is all. I'm fine with being a lone wolf. A lone wolf can get together with whoever he wants and go wherever he wants whenever he wants. I've never owned a vehicle I couldn't operate all by myself

Re: Attention you get on the road
I had my truck at a little show many years ago. I came back to my truck after a walk-around and found these two guys chatting with each other near my truck. One was leaning on my hood. Once the one guy realized that this was my truck and his breach in etiquette, he jumped away and was very apologetic. I quipped that he might get some rust on his clothes.
It was no big deal but slightly more than annoying.
