    Hey now, I like 70's music. What I don't like is for it to be louder than the person standing next to me can speak, or to have it involuntarily and impolitely thrust upon me.

    Plus it was drowning out all the engine sounds, and that was criminal.

    Its weird they asked to not rev engines on their FB page, but would let this guy roll around head bobbing and banging out. Seems like a double standard.

    It's very loosely policed. At the August CnC, that motorcycle guy got impatient as he was making his rounds and blew past someone trying to leave and just about took out some people. He's a dip shit for sure. Def shouldn't be able to drive around like that unless you're planning on parking. Too many people walking around for him to be just weaving through everyone like he owns the joint.

    Don't get me wrong I like 70's music too...but not that shit he was playing. That dude cries for attention every time he does that. What's really funny is that we have been putting up with it for months and it only took you 5 minutes or so before you called him out on it though! :rofl:

    If you find yourself at a point where you'd like to sell one of those spares if it's a 17 inch rim, let me know.

    They'd requested he leave, but it takes the sheriff to actually execute that request. Sheriff was very carefully making sure the assholery in the garage didn't get out of hand (as it tends to do).
    It's funny how assholes/bullies cave quickly when someone simply stands up to them and refuses to take their shit.

    I thought the guy was funny. You know in his head, that voice is saying, "Groovy, baby. These folks are digging me and my rockin' tunes..."

    I think most of us can relate to a time where our douchebaggery was off the charts; I know I can... Not sticking up for the guy, just saying I've been there.

    Yeah, too bad the only voice telling him he was cool WAS in his head. Possibly multiple voices. Some animal, or at least dressed like them. Dude gives off a weird vibe. Creepy. Like he does it to get attention, and then gets pissy when he doesn't like the attention he's getting.

    Whenever I am informed that my actions border on douchebaggery, I discuss them meaningfully and affect change when necessary. I never want to be "that guy." I much prefer to hang back and watch the world go by, unimpeded by me.

    I won't stick around somewhere just to be an asshole when it's clear that I'm not wanted there. Especially this meeting I'm in right now, pretending that something is going wrong with, uh, the whamahoosits. Yeah, that's it. The whamahoosits just crashed. Gotta run!

    Ok, so the whamahoosits is toast. Having to order another one from the plant in Dipshitistan.

    On a side note, my truck was getting some hardcore eyeballing by a family in a Honda Ridgeline. Not sure how I feel about that. One the one hand, the kids and dad really seemed to enthusiastically like it. On the other...Ridgeline.
