I know we’ve had a lot of Monterey Car Week/Pebble Beach content lately, but there’s a good reason for that: we were just at Monterey Car Week/Pebble Beach. See the connection? It’s subtle, but it’s there. Even if one could somehow ignore the cars at Car Week, making it just Week, I think it could still be a fascinating event to witness, because of all the people there.
I know you want to know this hot behind-the-curtain goss, right? Sure you do! All you have to do is become a member.
Depending on the genitals that the purse dog has it could be the perfect place to store a lipstick.
Is a good point, but there’s a good chance that this car isn’t driven on the roads, or exposed to weather, at least for 360+ days out of the year.
I don’t really get it though, I don’t think I’d be that bothered if someone hit my car hard enough to leave a dent, it’s just a car after all.
I mean, if we’re evaluating “jackass”, you accidentally violated a boundary/good manners, and stopped when you were called on it. Not a proud moment, certainly rude, but “jackass” implies arrogance and intention that isn’t present here.
If we evaluate this rationally, I don’t think you could be considered a “jackass” for your mistake or your frustration with the response.
After all, that guy was being a jackass about it.
You totally should’ve started chewing on the car part after that exchange
Why are jerks referred to as “gentlemen”? They’re not. They’re “person.”
I think this would have been a fun opportunity to lie and say, “Why, yes, this is my car…” If nothing more than to see guy’s brain do a backflip of pure incredulity.
While I can forgive Torch’s disparaging remarks regarding a Peugeot in a JCM video, I cannot forgive him for touching tha lady’s blue dog genitals (I really didn’t read the whole article). Shame on you, you’re a bad Torch.
I’m in the don’t-touch-unless-invited-to camp. Yes, one lil touch ain’t gonna kill it. But it’s never just ONE person. When you have hundreds of people with that attitude, it can quickly spiral. And while you and I and all the beautiful Autopian members have a decent concept of what a gentle touch is, I wouldn’t trust gen-pop to have that same standard.
As a small child, I might have touched something in the British Museum. I would assume an object just sitting out in the middle of the room, completely exposed without even a rope around it, is just a replica, right?
The dog purse made me think of L.L.Bean’s flagship store in Freeport, ME. At one point, they had life-sized dog mannequins to show off various pieces of dog-related outdoor gear. Some of these dog mannequins were very obviously…intact.
Did you touch the blue leather dog genitals? I mean, just to confirm it’s leather, of course.
Inquiring minds want to know.
I am not wealthy enough to be a non toucher. And another great article of nothingness that i will happily digest and ask for another round of blue leather dog testes
I would have believed it more if he said melamin, especially depending on the age of the car.
I mean, you kind of went to the pool and got confused when you got wet. With a name like concours d’elegance, you got to figure some old dude’s delta bravo grandson is out there in a fresh pair of topsiders guarding their inheritance.
As far as car shows go, I’ll take an ice cold tall boy and the joys of a grocery store parking lot meetup.
My take also seems to be the general consensus herein–don’t touch, but also screw that guy.
I don’t know if this is a typo or a subtle joke/jab about this event taking itself too seriously, but this is the third time I’ve noticed Torch spell it this way and I’m assuming the latter since it’s funnier.
I concour.
I think you’re the biggest jerk here Torch :/
Urban Runabout has it right – strip malls to museums, no touching is the rule. If you were curious, you should have asked, not touched.
She’s rich, into cars, and thinks dog dick jokes are funny? Too bad you are already married, I think you just met the perfect woman!
You don’t touch other people’s cars at the strip-mall parking lot.
And you certainly don’t touch the art at a museum.
So why would you think that touching someone’s antique pride and joy whether at Pebble or your local Cars and Coffee is okay?
Yeah – Keeping your hands to yourself is a thing.
fwiw, if you see my car parked anywhere, touch away.
When you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a better-than-new full frame-up restoration of an incredibly rare vehicle, let us know how that works for ya.
You are gonna leave us hanging on whether it was a boy dog or a girl dog? Unfair!
Wait so did you touch the blue dog genitals?
That was the question that immediately sprung to mind. At least my mind.
Hehe… you said “sprung”.
And did he ASK?
Blue her dog
With a blue little wiener
And a blue Corvette
And everything is blue for her
And herself, and everybody around
Cause she ain’t got nobody to listen
I think “no touchy” is generally the way to go, but I also understand your fascination and need to know what that part was made of. As in so many things, the intent matters at least as much as the action.
The young dude calling you out on it was absolutely a jackass, though. The subtext of “Is this your car?” is “You don’t belong here, press pass be damned, and I’m going to let you know it.” It’s especially galling coming from someone that young, who you know has never worked a day in his life, nor will he ever. (And no, sitting in an office moving money around at Daddy’s firm is not, and never will be, work.) Not to mention that you know more about any car on that field than he ever will, and certainly respect them more as machinery and art, rather than just a monetary value.
Also, Blue Leather Dog Genitals was better with their original drummer. The new guy can’t play the fills on “Spicy Kitty” right.
Blue leather dog genitals?
