Umm. I don't know. That's never happened... :([/QUOTE]

I had a young hot babe follow me into the Winn Dixie one day. I was driving my 65 Coronet 500 vert. She wanted to do a photo shoot with the car. I said SURE......!, Gave her my number.
A couple months later she did a professional shoot in my yard with the Coronet and Jazabelle, including some nudes. :lol:
 
When one of my cars is parked pretty much at the front of the driveway, which is really rare for me, I don't react too much if someone wants to take a look, as I am pretty easy going most of the time (life is just easier that way). What bugs me is when I am out in the garage way in the back of my yard, some 200 ft from the curb, why do some people have the audacity to just wander up the driveway casting their eyes in evey direction to see what they can find and think it is OK to disturb someones privacy just because they see a piece of an old car from the street. Then they ask if they can look around in the garage and whether I have anything for sale (that they can flip?). It really does make me abrupt, not really angry, but firm with them and I tell them nothing is for sale and I don't want people entering my property uninvited. Then I say "I am sure you can understand". So far, that has ended it. I have had this happen enough that I am going to put up a gate to keep them out or from seeing anything. I have noticed some guys seem to go up and down streets in a neighborhood just looking for old cars to flip - mostly loser types. Best way to deal with some jerks is to minimize the potential for having to. Too many people these days especially are just full of themselves.
 
Half the times I stop for gas I get people who will walk up to me or my car with questions or positive comments...once and a while some yoyo will say something negative. I just ignore that. Once an old lady came up to me in a supermarket parking lot, began to tell me about how her and her husband owned a car exactly like mine when they were brand new. It was a nice story..she held me up for a good 20mins or so..no problem, Im glad to have provided her a few moments of past time "bliss". I guess bottom line is..you own a classic Chrysler your gonna attract attention...good AND bad. Deal with it. I think you handled this situation well however. The dude was begining to cross over the line in my opinion. I think he may have had dreams of snagging your car more than befriending another classic car owner, if ya know what I mean.
 
For the most part, people are great to talk to about cars.Very few are jerks. I can usually shut down jerks pretty fast and if I don't want to talk, I just politely say "I have to get going".

The Chrysler doesn't attract as much attention as the Roadrunner I had did. That could become a real problem at times... I actually had a guy stick his head in the passenger window at a stop light. I had my arm cocked back to belt him and he realized what he had done. Turned out he had a Roadrunner that he had just wrecked and wanted to sell. Another stuck his head in the window when my kids (who were about 10 and 12 at the time) were waiting for me to come out of a parts store. That one was pretty funny.... My rottie was laying down in the back seat and greeted him face to face.

I did have a couple cute girl "encounters" because of the Roadrunner... One was working at the local gas station. She was looking at the car, asked if she could take a picture. The owner came out, and I knew him from buying gas there all the time, and said "He will probably let you sit in it and we'll take your pic". She couldn't believe he said that... So I had to do it.



I have gotten a couple people asking if my Chrysler was for sale. So far, a simple no has been enough. Mostly they talk about the size of it... or how their parents had a Newport or something like that.
 
Thanks for your input guys. I feel better about this situation now.

I have people stop and ask about the Newport all the time. Typically just to ask what it is, and tell me how much they love old Mopars. Had one today as a matter of fact. No harm done, was just being friendly.

Like I said, If they are pleasant, I am very pleasant...
