Tagging another Bronco

[SierraBronco]

Do we need to talk about the mini-assholes touching cars at car shows?
Just saw that happen recently, kid grub fucking a Super Bee ... owner was super polite, "Please don't touch the cars."

Of course entitled Dad /Chad/Karen got upset because HIS little asshole could NEVER do any wrong ..."it's just a kid, relax..."
I ALMOST spoke up ... but instead, just let it fade away.... not my fight today.

Control your little fuck trophies.

Wait this shit really happens?!?! I always just assumed it was rage bait. My dad would have beat my ass if I had the audacity to touch someone’s car!

Question unsuccessfully dodged.
Who more than likely needs a shrink... The person who just wants their property left alone, or the person who wants to touch other people's property to make themselves feel better?
Please share your answer with the class.

Clearly the neurotic person who has an issue with rubber toys touching their things, when the person leaving the toy intended to bring joy and cheer.

While in a parking garage, near the beach, some young "lady" of the neighborhood decided to pose on my motorcycle for selfies.

It would've been a quick reprimand if I had caught her, but my wife saw her first...

Never saw her again.

So you are clearly delusional and selfish.
It doesn't matter what vehicle owners want, mess with their property because it makes YOU feel good?
Intention has no place in this.
Common sense and common decency says that you don't touch other people's property without permission.
You want to leave trinkets? HAND them to the owners.
TALK with them.
Don't do a drive by toy dump.

Is is dumb? Absolutely. Is it "messing with someone's property?" No. Listening to grown men whine about a rubber duck is hilarious.

You grumpy old boomers getting upset over an innocent and kind gesture of admiration need to give it a rest.

You probably bitch about the fact that young people never go outside to play then chase the kids off your lawn when they're actually outside playing ball in the road. Get a life

You’d shoot Santa Claus dropping off presents and claim Castle Doctrine, wouldn’t you?

It’s not neurotic or selfish to want the things you worked hard for to be respected with common-sense personal space (or respect).
It’s the entitled audacity that is the root issue.
No one goes mental over the intended good cheer or the harmless piece of rubbery plastic trinket.
It’s the fact that people in general don’t have respect for others or their property.
I don’t get angry when it does happen.
Mine does not live in a climate controlled bubble of safety.
not that that makes any difference in the scheme of respecting others’ property.
And no disrespect to those who DO vehemently object to it.
It’s not an absolute all-or-nothing thing.
People don’t want their shit messed with. Period. Even if it is dirty or has trail damage, it’s not an open invitation to go help oneself to the personal space of others’ investment.
When it happens I retrieve it, pass it along to some kid along the way as a gesture of good will.
No harm, no foul.

Pretty much about how I feel as well , but it doesn't bother me if/when I get ducked.
I rather the duck than some asshole writing "wash me" in the dirt or dust. I might just lose my shit at that point.

Should the kids not touch cars at car shows? Absolutely. "Please don't touch the car" is an adequate response. No need for anything else. A curious kid is what makes the world go 'round. Those are pivotal moments of development. A kind owner who realizes it's just a hunk or steel could teach a child a nice lesson and get the kid interested in cars for life. Too many Karens in this world today.

These are just cars people. If you're that worried about a kid getting handprints on your wax job or some dust on your chrome, you can't afford it and you're just a poser. I love when people want to come up and see my cars. I let the parents look and the kids sit in the seat. Who gives a shit. In a few years we'll all be long gone and the cars will be recycled into cheap chinese steel for appliances anyway

Tagging another Bronco. What should we use? Here's the thing about Jeep Ducks. They are cheap, easy to get, and come in so many different combinations that they're cool. Every Jeeper has a stash, and they are 30 - 40 cents each.

Everything I see people putting on a Bronco is $3 to $5 and varies so much from horseshoes to horses. To make it work, the community would need to settle on 1 thing, and it has to be relatively inexpensive.

I'm gonna answer before I get 9 pages in. The problem with the ducks is that they are cheap and crappy, and the only reason someone would keep them is to be proud of being "ducked." A lot of those either get trashed or re-ducked. I opted for something a little higher quality, hopefully something someone might actually keep. Or if they don't, maybe they'll pass it along to someone rather than just toss it. You can get these on Amazon for .75 each, which IMO is a much better giveaway for not much more money. I don't give a ton away, so the price difference is probably a couple of cups of Starbucks or a fast-food meal in a year.

And, for @EvilJim1971 's sake, I have perfected the art of leaving one of these behind without actually touching the Bronco.

Well, to be fair, in this particular video she was “only” descending one of the harder obstacles on a level eight trail, so you can’t see all the welding. Wait-even on the ground you can’t easily see it especially after we lowered it, but even if you could you need to know what’s going on “behind the scenes” to know what was changed.

He did not take me up on the offer to pay for his fuel and lodging to get to Sand Hollow and wheel with us. Only stipulation is that he must do every obstacle she does, without a spotter. *sad, lonely noises start playing*

Even by mall crawler standards your rig dominates him. You're on 40s, right? He's only on 37s. I just can't fathom what it takes to jump on "stock wheels". Aren't you running legit beadlocks on your stockers just to add insult to injury? I doubt homie can even fit your tires/wheels on his "build".

I don't for a second believe they do it to bring joy and cheer to anyone but themselves. They do it for the social cred, kind of like the kids doing the tidepod challenge a few years back. It's a jeep thing, and I wouldn't understand though.

Here is where you are missing the point.... THE PARENTS should be telling the kid not to touch the vehicle!! The car owner should not have to say a damn thing. My kids learned early on.... very early on.... You do not go to the museum and touch things unless there is a sign saying this is okay to touch..... Cars at car shows are typically works of art.... thousands of hours go into them and I sure do not want some kid leaning over and scratching the paint with the button on his trousers. THE PROBLEM is the PARENTS not the kid.

You seem to be the Karen here. You think kids do not have to learn respect for others property.... awe it is all good intensions and well kids have to learn.... Frick YEA... BE THE PARENT!

I'm the guy that invites people to check my ride out, sit in the seat, play with the shifter.
I carry stickers and patches for the kids... And some adults.
I ENCOURAGE proper interaction.

You’d shoot Santa Claus dropping off presents and claim Castle Doctrine, wouldn’t you?

#1 there is no Santa so it's a stupid comment.
#2 Anyone without an invite or warrant runs the risk of finding out.

Like stated above, I encourage interaction while I'm present.
Invite the kids and parents to climb in if they like.

You have invented true levitation?

The core of this isn't ducks, shoes, napkins... It is respect for others property.
I take my Bronco off pavement any chance I get, it gets covered in mud and dirt. It gets pinstripes, it gets chips and dings.
It isn't about if a duck will cause any damage.
It is about not touching other people's property without permission.
