I have a couple. But the story that follow is probably my favorite.
As a lot of you old timers here know, I'm a car guy. Since I was about 3 years old I was a car guy. And a few of you may remember this story.... I was raised by a car guy. A car guy that made me clean his white wall tires if I was responsible for scuffing them. As you can imagine, that taught me to respect his car. My Father was not a mean or petty man. He WAS an effective teacher.
So, back when I was 17 or 18 I was driving my Father's mint and well cared for Ford Country Squire Wagon. It had the faux wood sides, and looked the part of grocery getter.
He had just washed it and waxed it, and for a car that was, at the time, 10+ years old it looked good.
I had driven it to one of my hangout spots (ice skating rink) and some of my friends were around shooting the breeze in the parking lot. I went inside to hit the video games, and chat up a few figure skaters, etc.
When I came back out one of the guys I knew was sitting on the hood of my dad's car!
Needless to say, I was pissed, and I told him to get his fat butt off the car.
He told me that if I wanted him off the car I could jolly well take him off the car.

AND HE HAD THE LACK OF BRAIN CELLS TO KEEP TALKING TO THE PERSON WHO WAS, PROPERLY, STANDING NEXT TO THE CAR.
That person knew me a bit better and advised the guy to get off the car cause he was being a ****.
And that I was pretty calm, but capable of being quite unpredictabe.
At that time in my life I was capable of being a pretty mean SOB. I changed my tone and nicely invited him off the car. He again declined. So, I got in the car and asked again. No sale.
I started the
freshly waxed car, and backed out of the space.
And he still refused to get off the car.
BTW the car in question had a couple little things I should mention here.
It was a posi-trac equipped special order with everything necessary for pulling a large boat. The part I loved was the
429 SCJ with a Holley 1050 double-pumper carb under the hood.
So, I got myself a nice straight run, FLOORED it. I then counted to 3 and stomped on the power assisted disc brakes.
Anybody care to guess how far a fat guy will fly off the
freshly waxed hood of a car moving nearly 30 MPH that is stopped suddenly and decisively? (I'll hold up here for a second while the mental image unfolds)
The boy got up mad as hell and ready to fight! But I pointed out that I hadn't been recently thrown from the hood of a moving vehicle, and that trying to fight a guy that would do something that crazy who was now standing with one foot in and one foot out of the 3500 lb car that was still pointed in his general direction was prolly a bad idea. Cause I might just be crazy enough to knock him down with the car too.
From that day forward, noone EVER sat on anything I was driving.
