  2. HaHa! there is nothing more boring than a line of fully restored red 1965 Mustang convertibles all in a row. Well actually there is, listening to their owners talking about the correct date code on the condenser on the voltage regulator. But if that turns their crank so be it...

    Since you seem to have boring down pretty well, I'm curious....where does people who complain that someone said that they didn't like their car fall on your list?

    i had a 63 1/2 Galaxie sportsroof that i spent two years building into a 500XL with every damn thing i could find in salvage yards... black on black, '68 390 4v with C6 trans.... guy i worked with kept on with "it's a shit old Ford and nobody wants them" and "if that were a Bel Air, then you'd HAVE something..." ... that kind of shit. why do that shit?

    sure, it get's my goat when somebody really DOES fuck the shit out of a decent car, but i bite my damn tongue and let it slide, because that's how THEY want it, and it's THEIR car, not mine.

    a lot of the "antique restorers" get pissed because we find parts they can't, and USE them instead of HOARDING them.

    I let a guy into my shop once because he saw the back end of my 32 roadster on the hoist. He asked if he could look at it, I lowered the car and he just shook his head, staring at the flathead. He said "This cars all fucked up!!....it should have a 350/350 ...9"..disc brakes...blah blah blah......" That was after he saw my 40 rear with Halibrand Culver City, Navarro heads, etc....
    I have never let a stranger walk into my shop since then....... people are whacked!!!

    The world is filled with Assholes who are always ready to spout mis-information about everything under the sun. Cars are a prime target for them. This is a fact of life and it would be impossable to stop. Just learn to ignore them and enjoy your car AND YOUR LIFE.

    YOUR CAR, YOUR MONEY, YOUR WAY

    I used this 38 Ford p/u as a fire wood box for the bunkhouse the engine bay is full of firewood, and someone told me how bad I ruined it but all I did was cut 6 inches off a running board so it would slide up against the wall, he was trying to buy it.. I can always put it on the road later

    In my direct experience most shit talkers drive 1980's era jap shitboxes or have their moms drive them around since they dont actually own a car.

    Had pal back when, who was admittedly a bit of a smartass, but one of his favorite sayings when dealing with the type of which we speak was "Oh, ...you're right", which he could deliver in the absolute most syrupy condescending way you ever wanted to hear, I can't even come close! He was so good at it that even though he was my friend, it'd even piss me off when he said it! Made ya just wanna smack his ass! But, it was worth the price of admission when he'd use it on a deserving asshat! ...never heard him say more'n twice before the offender would just slink into oblivion.

    I would have called him a big stupid meany poo poo face head and ran away crying.

    That guy was probably wearing a Hawaiian shirt and white tennis shoes, driving a 66 mustang. He can fuck right off.

    crit·ic /kritik/

    <LI style="LIST-STYLE-TYPE: decimal">A person who expresses an unfavorable opinion of something.

    2. A person who judges the merits of literary, artistic, or musical works, esp. one who does so professionally, often without credentials, skills or knowledge of the subject matter.

    3. A person chronically afflicted with verbal diarrhea, dementia and peacock syndrome.

    Should you encounter a critic strutting about spewing unintelligible shit, avoid if possible. If confrontation cannot be avoided, look him straight in the eye, and say "Kindly go fuck yourself".

    ..
     
  24. I would have wanted a punch him but maybe the funniest thing to do would be to lean over give him a hug and a little cheek kiss right after whispering in his ear "it's ok sweety, they won't hurt you any more", just to really mess with his head. I'll bet he won't talk to strangers anymore.

    PS only do that if your tough enough to throw down. Haha

    There is a lot of patience in some of these responses that I don't have. If he was not addressed in my conversation I would have told him to mind his own fucking business, and then casually returned to my conversation.

    I am guilty. I was at a show once and a mustang was sitting there with the hood open. Really nice car even though I have no interest in mustangs. They had the struts removed and a different suspension in it. I was making a comment on how horrible the bolts that held the strut hole covers on looked. They were 3/8 grade five hardware store bolts. The builder was right next to me. I offended him but he was really nice about it. He asked for my input and I told him the bolts looked like an after thought and a button head or something similar would look much better. His son (employee) agreed with me. He said thank you for the input afterward.
