Ten Assholes You Meet At Every Car Show

 

True on every level. I know a few 3, 4s and 5s.

 

Of course Burnout guy is in an Olds. These cars have so much torque you just cant help it. Liked the article and have met several of the aforementioned a-holes.

 

I've met every single one of these idiots. True article is true.

 

That article is horribly written.

 

Sooo, that begs the question: What type of car owner is the proper ilk for a parking lot car show? Have we come that far in the world of automotive enthusiasm? Some of those are obvious no-nos (not wanting to talk about your car at a car show, burnouts), but personally I don't mind the guy who only wants to talk about his car. I'm not there to talk about his day.

I think the author should lighten up a bit on some of these descriptions. I find some of these guys amusing (guys lying about their cars, or just clueless). And ladies, give me a break. The guy that is "trying to impress you" isn't because you're a girl. If he wanted to hook up with you he'd ask for your number.

Oh, the author forgot one A-hole.

11) People who criticize other car enthusiasts at parking lot car shows.

 

I've met a couple #7s (and all the rest) but #7s are the real A-holes. You just want to kick them in the nuts.

 

It's Jalopnik.

 

Fortunately my local Cars and Coffee group is mellow and filled with actual experts who are polite and sociable.

 

A few years ago at our local weekly car show some douche in a Shelby Cobra thought it cool to lay a patch of rubber a few blocks long on his way out. Little did he know the local cops were sitting in the office park a block away. Guy had his car impounded and had to beg someone to give him a ride home

 

A few of us 9G Accord guys had a meet at Etown a couple of months ago. Fortunately, I cannot corroborate the Jalopnik list provided.
