Just trying to get a closer look at the engine. But thats not the point. My point is, why would someone have that reaction? Uncalled for and completely unecessary. Its not like i did something to piss him off previously. And weve talked a few times before in junkyards or at the same car show.

Ive been to alot of car shows, no offense here either. but never ever ever never ever touch some ones rig without permission.... lol.. the owner is always with in view and most owners,, if you get thier attention in some other way,,,they will gladly give you a closer look..

And to answer your Q: its called taking pride in their car. like tony said. touching dry paint is like applying fine sand paper to his paint and he also has no idea what your doing under his hood. he may not have recognized you and just saw someone touching it and went defense mode on you..

Ok. I see where you're all coming from. But in my defense, the hood was already raised so I simply lifted it to get a better look. I didnt touch any paint on the outside of the car, only the underside of the hood. I have a great respect for other peoples property, i guess i must've been a little careless with this one. Damn, why cant i get quick posts like this on my other threads where i actually need help. Lol.

lol at above. maybe he was drunk...??? i know im very protective of my car. well not very but if someone i dont know is around i get concerned and watch em and talk to them to make sure they arent gonna go nothin. on the other side if im lookin at someone's car/truck/bike/van whatever, ill look at with my eyes and if the owner comes around i might ask to look inside or under the hood. not trying to upset you or nothing but you were in the wrong in this situation. we all know you didnt mean any harm but you need to considerate, not that you werent be. you just need to be aware of what you are doin and the reactions that may occur from it.

I would like to say that I am a nice guy but when it comes to my car Im an asshole. I let you touch it and lean on it if I know you

but the second I see soembody I dont know eyein it i get a lil hestitant

. I had one incedent where my friend

disrespected the MKIII and I had to put him in his place (a matter of principles). I just love the MKIII bottom line.

All of my friends have hondas/acuras except for one so I have to hold it down in A-town

I'd say if you dont know the owner its best to ask.
