Tagging another Bronco

[5GENIDN]

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

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!

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

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.

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

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.

You honestly think your kids never did anything wrong, never got in trouble or never disobeyed you ever? They were perfect angels 24/7? Get real.

How do you know what parents do or don't teach their children?

Sure, if the parents are a-holes then it's obvious. Maybe kids are just kids and they get excited over a shiny car or big truck and all sense goes out the window. They're children for crying out loud.

I believe a $100.00 bill would be appreciated by every Bronco owner!

Again I think it's dumb anyway, but putting a rubber duck on a door handle is far from being disrespectful of someone's property or touching it without permission. This is a pretty hardline stance on a stupid kid's toy.

I get if people are sititng in/on it, leaning on it, etc. That's way different. A few years ago we were at the beach and my buddy has a nice jeep build and we had the doors off that day. We came around the corner and some guys were leaning on it and hanging out the door taking pics. We walked up and my buddy said "nice jeep, is it yours?" They said no and laughed. He said "it's mine, now f*ck off." They walked away and that was that. Now THAT is disrespectlful behavior. A rubber ducky on the doorhandle is not disrespectful

I have witnessed parents trying to place their kids on a Ferrari for a photo op.
Children are wandering the planet without adult supervision, not for years.
I have grandchildren now, when my adult children look at a car... They hold their hands behind their back and stay a step away from it unless invited to do anything else.
Because they were taught respect from a very early age.

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".

Yeah it was one of those things where he knew so little that it was embarrassing. I don’t talk shit about what others do with their vehicle unless they’re deserving of it, but even then sometimes there is no point because they’re so ignorant to reality. Homie has a puck lift and zero offset wheels. Are they really going to understand why someone would lower their car and spread the control arm mounting points at the axle to counteract the moment arm created by a different accessory? Probably not.

Does the toy hover in place over the vehicle?
No, that is touching someone else's property.
And touching someone else's property without permission is a lack of respect.

I get it. There are definitely bad and disrespectful parents out there. I see it every day. But every kid who misbehaves in any way (touches a show car) is not a bad/disrespectful kid with bad parents. Too many grouchy old people lose sight of reality. My dad always said the problem with most adults is that they forgot what it was like to be a kid

I would absolutely whip my dick out before shooting anyone that has broken into my house. Doesn’t matter what costume they are wearing.

I remember what it was like, I had a father that was active in his local car scene.
And I remember his rule of look but don't touch unless invited to.
Did I do sketchy shit as a youth? Of course.
But it was always consensual, including the BB gun, pine cone, and rock battles.

It's tchotchke. Please respect my tchotchke's preferred spelling.

For years I thought it was a made up word. Then I find out it’s Yiddish.

No, that is touching someone else's property.
And touching someone else's property without permission is a lack of respect.

Technically....the toy is touching someone else's property and the toy is an inanimate object.

I will shoot them, get on fewer lists that way.

So you take a bat to a windshield, do you get charged or does the bat?
