I've got the big semi-boom truck today wheeling around Reno and I spot a decently painted 68 camaro pass me. Guy's, this car may look allright, but it is hands down TWEAKED! The car is tracking sideways so bad I only caught a brief glimpse of the pass. side when he turned right! It was clearly visible the front drivers tire was at least 2" further out of the wheel well that the other side. It was so bad I think his rearend was shifted too.
He had some custom wheels on it & it appeared straight but my god. I've seen logging trucks that have been jacked up with bent frames track better.

So I catch up to him & try to get his attention, I can tell he's young, 20-23. I figure maybe I can chat with him a bit, maybe help him out with some advice or even parts. So I give a honk, which isn't suttle with an air horn. He looks and I point like, pull over.
He flips me off and yells something. I'm like, no no no dude, it's not like that. We turn the corner and he flips me again with a dirty look and he's gone.
Oh well, I tried. :rolleyes:

LOL Maybe some day we'll see him here on the site. "Hey dude's, I have a 68 and......." :rolleyes:

LMAO!!

He's probably sick of people telling him his car is whacked, or asking him how much he wants for it. Either that or he stole it.
I can just see the look on your face, looking down at the guy when he flew the bird the first time.... :eek: Ya shoulda hit him on the other side and tweaked his frame back straight.

I've seen some mid 70's Nova's doing the crab walk down the road. It's scary to think somebody is driving the car and thinking there's nothing wrong with it. As for flipping off the guy driving the boom truck, that's even dummer than driving the tweaked car! graemlins/clonk.gif

Jeff, I'm sure glad you didn't say the 250 lbs. was from the shoulders up. LOL :D

Stevo, you say you're not a "people person" then you go pull some friendly, thoughtful and kind gesture at some unsuspecting punk...tsk tsk You DO look pretty intimidating at first! Don't feel bad, he didn't know about your stable of fine automotive Americana :D
