I don’t think I’ve ever seen Coors in the wild other than when I conjured it, college parties included, though I’ve never been near a fraternity.

Holy crap that French toast idea is amazing.

I dunno, they don’t do their job perfectly, but the carburetor on my Falcon is super simple and will be repairable forever potentially. I could probably do a full rebuild on it in 30 minutes for $50, and I could do that forever because the parts are only slightly more specific than things you’d find at the hardware

And you better believe that I will gently escort your hands back into your personal space.

Yeah, I kinda want to run a shopping cart into his car. I was only touching it though.

For someone who owns a car “much less precious” it may still be a much larger portion of their net worth than the $300,000 car owned by a millionaire. A $10,000 paint job to someone who makes $300K a year is almost nothing, a $10,000 paint job to someone who makes $35,000 a year is almost insurmountable. I let people

A lot of car-people are working with very limited budgets. If you run something into my bumper and scratch it, I may not get it fixed, but that’s because I don’t have $500 to send it to get re-chromed. A stain on a door card may be a small amount of damage, but it would cost you quite a bit of money to get it back

I drive the living crap out of my car, that doesn’t mean you can touch it without my permission. Maybe you’re careful enough to not do any damage to it, but I’d have to be stupid to trust every random stranger not to damage it while they were screwing around with it. I’m not made of money, if you break a $5 clip on my

Nice looking Falcon, I like that you have skinny whitewalls on it.

I feel the same. I will gladly let pretty much any person touch, sit in, or try to drive my car. But the time I found two women I didn’t know sitting in it with a guy taking pictures of them I felt violated. This is the sort of thing that happens when you tell people they can touch other people’s stuff without asking,

It looks much better from this angle than in the pictures provided.

How do CO plates factor in?

You may be capable of touching a car without damaging it, but there are many morons who aren’t. It’s better to just tell them to not touch them at all. You’d be amazed by the number of people who can’t figure out how to open the doors on my car (old style chromed cast metal handles with push buttons) and so resort to

I once found a guy taking pictures of two young women sitting in my car. I told them to get out of it, and he told me to “hold on.”

*sure, d’ohn’t.

I loved the dash on a 1939 Buick I worked on a few weeks ago. Damn right that’s a western typeface on the speedometer.

M’am*

Oh man that’s so much better.

I feel similarly. But I don’t like them as much anymore, and now I’m kinda beginning to resent them for really pushing the trend of wealthy middle aged white dudes buying up vintage 4x4s across the country, shipping them to LA, and blowing their values up to insane levels in the process.
