Saw a car at MATS that didn't sit well with me.

Over the years, I've seen plenty of funny and/or entertaining signs on cars that warned onlookers not to touch. But one car in particular had a sign that I felt was very inappropriate for a car show where there were lots of children checking out the cars. Some of you may know the owner, and perhaps this article will not go over so well, but I felt the sign was very tacky and offensive.

You decide, is the sign offensive or did it not bother you at all? I feel there are better, more appropriate ways to state that you care more about your car than you do about what people think of you.

The sign is in my article, with the offensive word blurred out: Please Don't Touch My Car: When Your Ego Takes Things Way Too Far

Anybody willing to put crap like that on a car sure as hell won't get any praise from me, just shake my head and keep on walking. Says a lot about their personality IMO.

I agree that it is vulgar, and he went a bit too far...I am extremely inappropriate and sarcastic...that being said...I think something like...
"I don't touch your wife, so please don't touch my car" would be right at the line of appropriate for me.

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw on a Jeep. If I wanted a Hummer I'd call your sister.

Wrong, just wrong.. I have judged cars at Car Shows, and even if it was the best car in class or the show, no awards from me..

 

[bee71]

Even though I'm spending way more on my restoration I don't want to turn people away with posting those kind of signs.We are going to drive this car and it will probably get some road blemishes anyway.

Could be worse, a guy at Don Garlits show a few years back placed a chain rope barrier around his car during the show.

I have never used one. More people sat in my 65 Impala SS than any other car around. I figure that since I am driving it around it is not a priceless car. Most anything can be fixed. Plus, you just never know who your talking to, how many of us would recognize an executive from Hotrod magazine on sight?

Here we go with words and feelings again. I speak like a sailor...but most kids language these days, would make me blush.

...or a writer for Street Legal TV?? LOL

I say if you feel like placing a sign on your car like that, don't even bother to leave home with it...

 

[Bb70charger500]

I clicked the link they must of took the sign down because it's just a bunch of normal ones

That would have 'made' me touch it and then tell him 'good luck with that threat buckwheat, I don't have a sister...'

 

[Homstead]

I agree, that sign has no place at a car show or anywhere else for that matter. Its unfortunate that we need signs to remind people that its not their property. I only take in a couple of car shows a year and have never had a problem without a sign. Maybe my cars to ugly to be touched? lol

Low rent ...

Low rent ...

This may have been some assclown that thought he was being funny. What a jerkoff. I'd have loved to see the owner to tell him what a piece of **** he was.

 

[RT SE 440]

funny thing i done a wedding 2 weeks ago and i had to tell off one of the drivers not to lean on my car :argue: go figure

 

[Kern Dog]

I do understand the need to politely warn the offenders. Being an asshole about it is asking for other ******** to screw with the car.

 

[dual fours]

right.

The link still shows the sign, scroll down to the Battle Ship Gray Cuda then scroll up a little.
Woops, missed the multi-quote image. I wanted to quote Bb70charger500's reply also.
