Well whatever Frank left behind, I'm sure Mike and Jovette sitting in the seat have cleaned it off by now. It was Mike Mosing's car after all.

I was at Cars and Coffee where a gentleman and his 4 year old son were tooling about. Dad didn't appear to be a car guy, didn't appear particularly adept and child supervision, either. The little tyke had a matchbox car that he was methodically running over the contours of the body of a nearby Ferrari, making high pitched car noises. The F-car owner was obviously absent. He made his way to my Black GT and, like a hen on a Junebug, I greeted that wee lad before he could get within 15 feet of my car. I got down on my haunches and engaged him in an enthusiastic conversation about world events until his father caught up. Distracted, they headed off in another direction. The trauma of watching the fellow do simulated drifting with his toy over the hood of my car was thus averted. I love kids and hate confrontation, especially at an event that is supposed to be fun.

I feel the problem is they don't charge the spectators an admission fee so they are invested in the event. Never could understand why they charged the car owners to show their cars. After all, the owners have already paid thousands to purchase or build their cars and the spectators, nothing. Charging the owners and not the spectators is really backwards logic to me.

Dr. Frank never sat in Mikes GT, as I grabbed him by the arm after the picture was taken and told he could not get into the car!... that’s the real story And I have witnesses who will testify to the event and what took place. No need to call in the FBI! HA HA

Thanks for the clarification Tomy. Somehow, somewhere that pic will ultimately come back to bite Frank. It may be when he is 89 in a nursing home...but it will happen. Buhahahaha

How about "you are responsible for your kids and your own actions. A damage deposit will cheerfully be refunded upon exit if no damage is done. Leave your visa." I'm just a dreamer.
I have suggested to organizers that they have an obvious place where attendees can make contribution to the charity we as owners are contributing to.

Sometimes people ask "are those speakers in the seats?" Depending who has asked, if appropriate I answer "those are drain holes in case the ride makes you too wet.

Sometimes at shows I hold the key fob, and if someone is touching or too close, I hit the door lock twice for the honk. Of course quite often this results in a second or third touch to see if it repeats. Mostly If i'm in sight I will leave a door open to facilitate pictures, and have not had anyone climbing in without asking.

Me too. I leave my door and clamshell open to invite inspection. No one has climbed in......yet.

Well here’s one for y’all:
I just got kicked out of Cruising the Coast (which is a large car show spanning the Mississippi gulf Coast that has over 8000 registered cars) because someone complained my Ford GT was too new... geesh some people. It was a tremendous hit with the crowds though!
