yea so i get up at 5:30 am craving for breakfast walk over to the car half asleep look at my door handle and realized that i see something in the right! its all red and pink... blood? so i look over the back and there is a 3'x2' 3 layer cake. after i finally accepted it was a cake and not my imagination i took it out mad as hell and put it in a bag went to the carwash once i was there hosing the car down i could not stop lol i kept thinking of this!

 

Haha, lucky for you they didn't throw a brick through your window. I just can't figure it out, what's up with all the crossfire vandalism lately??

 

Don't know. When we were at Woodward driving in a caravan - a few of us got cussed out, etc. People were yelling 'F___ Crossfires!' and other lovely sayings. I let them have it right back, but it was definitely strange.

 

Pure, green envy...

 

I would have to agree. Everywhere I seem to go, people Love/lust my car. Love and Lust equate to jealousy and envy...

 

The only thing I heard at Woodward was when the Prowler caravan passed us on the left, one passenger took a double take of my hood and turned and said something to the driver. The driver just gave my car a disrespectful wave and I heard him say, "Crossfire, that's just a "rental" car".
I tried to catch up to him to tell him the last time I was in Vegas I rented a Prowler just like his, (a lie) but we all know what traffic is like on Woodward and I never caught up to him.
Since I've owned a "Nash" for over 37 years, I've pretty much heard every derogatory comment out there, so nothing much ever gets to me. Actually some of them are pretty funny.

 

I might be wrong but coming from the east coast I would think there is a good deal of "Made in The USA" and "The Big Three" hormones raging at the Woodward Dream cruise and they were just reacting to your car as a Foreign Car. Having never been there are there many foreign cars that take part or is it mostly Hot Rods and Muscle Cars? Whatever the badge says the car nut knows its a Benz.

 

that's kinda funny, since the big three have been building their cars in China South Korea and Mexico for the past 15-25 years, guess them red-necks and hillbillies just can't let go, ay?

 

Most cars are American Muscle, Classic, or Hot Rod type.
However, there are a lot of Lambos, Ferraris, Jags, Lotus, and even the Scion owners had a big GTG. Saw a good bit of MBs and BMWs too.
Never expected to get 'heckled' in my SRT6, that's for sure.

 

BTW, was the Cake any good, did you try it?
Glad you took it lightly & it wasn't a Brick!
(Remember, "You can't have you cake & eat it too!")

 

Better a cake than an egg/s.

I am moving to the little town I grew up in at the end of the month and I am REALLY hoping no one messes with my car...I think I may need to start parking it in the yard. I wish a million times we had a garage...at least it is a temporary move.

 

One of the things I have noticed at a lot of the car shows is the "muscle car" mentality. They accept the Prowler because of its retro-rod look and of course the Corvette and Mustang because they are and have been members of the group forever.

I was getting dissed pretty bad and had several laughing til we compared 0-60 times and quarter miles. Then their taunting turned to disbelief and "no way". I told them to look it up, and they just generally walked away and left me alone.

A good part is obviously envy. In one show the others complained about the appearance of my car they said it looked too nice because it was essentially new. Never mind the fact that I had one of the least expensive cars there, because of all the money spent on rebuilding and customizing their rides.

I try not to let it bother me because when the public is looking at the cars, I always get the head nods and "nice ride" from them. The fact that I went home with trophies probably irked them a bit as well.
