Bull Session
Just recently got a '79 F150. It needs some engine work, but the body looks great and it has a nice, fresh paint job. The day after I bought it, my wife parks up next to the truck, opens the door and puts a beautiful door ding in it. 
So, it was moved out of the carport to the yard to keep this kind of thing from happening. But I got to thinking, I don't want the sun, elements, tree gunk, bird doo, etc. to ruin my paint job so I move it back under the carport. Today I come home, and I see that this time my 5-year old has put a nice scrape in the fender with his door. And then he comes out and proceeds to run his Hot Wheels down the side of it.
So, I guess me and my truck will just find a new home.

Teach the children AND the wife respect for other people's property even though they are part of the family. There are too many people in the world that do just like they did and think nothing of it. Someone ran into my son's car in our driveway last week and just drove off...

I watched a man pull into the parking lot at Kragen's the other day driving a new-ish Jeep Cherokee, misjudge the parking space, and clip the rear corner of a Bullitt Mustang parked there. He went inside the store, came right back out again, got in his Jeep and drove off. I wasn't in position to get his plate number, but I'd sure have liked to get the S.O.B. He couldn't have been in the store long enough to even ask who's car it was, I think he just chickened out and left. People basically suck. -TD
