It's blatant disrespect and as already stated they just shove them under the windshield. If you want to advertise whatever it is THEN SPONSER THE SHOW. 1987 Fifth Avenue - 512/518/D60

Generally, if I'm near the car, they'll ask if it's mine and if it's OK to drop a flyer inside. They're just trying to publicize their show. I don't expect them to ask everyone around if they have a car to show. If someone was about to palm the car or whatever, I'd get involved, but that hasn't happened since I left California.

You've just damaged someone's car, and left all of your contact information.

And this flyer was here first Severe Penalty if ignored or removed You have been warned! Have it laminated have message printed on both sides and sell them for $2.00, seems like there might be a demand for this solution. Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I don't want a shop going out and doing burnouts in my car! how else are we supposed to find the weak link in your driveline 💥 🤣 made me think of a customer that bought a BB 4 spd cashmaro online and had it transported. When it arrived he had all his neighbors Watching as it was unloaded. He jumps in, fires it up, brings it up to about 5,000 RPM and dumps the clutch. Bad idea on street slicks with 3.08 rear gears. I still have the ring gear. Should take a pic of it, Only missing about 5 teeth 🤣 www.tandmautomotive-omaha.com

They should just hand them out. If we happen to step away for a bit, we can come back and have paper in the seat of the car. While I don't think that it is cool, I haven't made an issue of it. At least not like a phord guy that was parked a car or two away from us at a Saturday car show. He went off on some guy dropping a show flyer in his car and it almost got out of hand. Quite a show at the show. I think the Phord guy got so pissed because the extra weight of that flyer would slow his car way down. '67 is an abbreviation of 1967 67' is an abbreviation of 67 feet They are not interchangeable.

So, isn't part of the idea of displaying a car to show the interior? Isn't the interior view blemished when covered with multi-colored sheets of paper? Quote Odds are those that are super offended are the same types that walk around their car 25 times during the show with a car duster and micro fiber towels trying to keep every last thing from touching their car. Non-sequitur. The INTERNET, the MISinformation superhighway

Quote Odds are those that are super offended are the same types that walk around their car 25 times during the show with a car duster and micro fiber towels trying to keep every last thing from touching their car. Non-sequitur. Again, just paper,. I typically don't stick my head all the way inside someone else's car for any real length of time, and if I did see a piece of paper on the seat of all the cars I looked at it would not bother me. People here don't dump multiple flyers all over people's cars. Think the most I ever got was two at one show once years ago. Most of the time they put those in a grab bag if you sign up for the show anyways.
