car show rant

daredevil said

Went back and reread your post. Sounds like you could use some ettiquette lessons. The guy was already there and parked and you wanted to squeeze in. How many shows has your car been in? Someone courteous would have given him his space.You blame him for being the jerk but it sounds like you were the one disrespectful. If there wasnt room to open your door you were crowding him. I myself like enough room around my car that people dont brush against it trying to walk by. And a little room to step back and take a pic if they want to. If you had 9k in your paint and body you would understand. You may not like this but it sounds like youre braggiung about being a dick. Grow up.

well you read a little wrong. and what does it matter how many shows my car has been in. this one just got on the road a month ago. but i take it to two local shows a week and have been to 3 bigger shows the last three weeks with it. with no complaints because i dont crowd other people. we all pulled in together and he parked in the lines of a spot and he was too close to the car that he parked next too. everyone else was taking up two spots. thats how the show wanted the spacing . i parked like everyone else. i was about 7 feet away from him because i parked in between two spots. like i was directed.(if that makes sense. thats my best attempt at explaining it)he was the one that was too close to the other car and thats why they asked him to move. they didnt ask me untill he started crying that my passenger door would hit his car. even though i didnt have a passenger. my buddy with an original un restored hemi gtx was on my drivers side and he didnt mind the spacing. so you are wrong about me squeezing in. i will post pictures for you when i get them too. i am plenty grown. but when an old man starts throwing a fit about being too close to the rusty valiant i could care less. i like having my space too even though i dont have 9k into my paint and bodywork. i didnt post this to get any justification from anyone. i just wanted to vent a little. please dont tell me to grow up unless you are there. everyone else there thought he was out of line. i will admit i should have been the bigger man and not kicked up dust. but im not perfect.
