Rich Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 We all know that one guy who goes to car shows and acts like a total jerk. I've known this guy for several years now (not a friend, just a guy I see at shows) and I've seen him behave like a total a-hole and give other Vette owners a bad name. One time he left a car show all ticked off because he was asked to move his car because he was blocking a lane. Got his money back.......and left. He always walks around every show with a towel hanging from his hip pocket, wears muscle shirts, and never acknowledges anyone else's car. So today, we went to a 300 car show in my family's home town. They had 1 Corvette class for all years and there were about 30 Vettes there, all generations, and all of them deserved a prize, but it was a judged show with cash awards. And he was there with his shiny C6, all decked out with his painted hoodliner, every piece of chrome you can get aftermarket, and his attitude. Well, the winners were announced. I got 3rd, and 2 2015 Z06's got 1st and 2nd. Personally I would rather see older cars win, but .............. Anyhow, he was ticked again that he got nothing, hopped into his car and left. We pulled out and drove about 2 miles down the road and he was pulled off the road waiting for something or someone. I, and about 30 other really great cars were all headed out on the highway in a convoy, and here he comes, about 100 mph or more, passing everyone up. Next thing I saw was the blue and reds flashing behind us, catch up to him, and pull his rear over. STATE trooper to boot! Can't wait to hear how much and how many points. Sorry, but I had to laugh. Karma is a true b*tch. chops1sc, Beemer, ledger64 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Most definitely. He's in his mid 50's and not married. Understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledger64 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Rich you are so right about Karma. Usually stupidity lessens with age but clearly if he is still single and in his mid 50's he is doomed. Nice job grabbing a 3rd place trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vobro Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 So if you "had a laugh" at him being pulled over wouldn't you have some bad karma coming your way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Its sad, but its guys like him that jeopardize shows for the rest of us... multiple cars & coffee events over the years have lost their venue after one jerk ruined it for everyone else with their behavior. Glad this on got what he deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
