I never let others ruin my fun. I put a lot of sweat and time and energy into restoring cars, so others could also enjoy them, as well get to see my car friends so I will continue to attend events, just a lot more cautious and aware when I’m there.

I have to say, a lot of people who have the scooters and rent golf carts at Norwalk or any car event that’s usually in the heat of Summer, do so because of health issues, some just have them as a convience and act like they’re on the track, when in the show and flea market areas. We don’t know who has a heart condition, or any illness that prevents them from walking an event, me being one of them. So as long as they’re respectful to others, and what’s going on around them, I’m ok with the vehicles. If I see idiots, I generally speak up, and let them know they’re acting a fool. I’m by no means shy.

I havent really seen a problem with them at the shows I go to. I try not to be too judgmental after an experience I had at a Home depot. A guy pulled into the hcap parking in a new escalade. No HCap plates or sticker on the mirror. I was a bit incensed. My sons best friend growing up was handicapped and wheelchair bound, so I have become a bit sensitive to people abusing the situation. Against my better judgement I stood there a minute and was going to say something to him. He opened the backdoor first from the driver seat, and out came a wheel chair. This guy had no legs. Boy did I fell like a fool!

As a side note, when I see kids at a show I ask them if they want to sit in my car, with my help of course. They always get a big kick out of it. Maybe someday they will want to get their own trans am because of that experience.

At Norwalk this year there sure were a lot of skinny teenage kids with heart conditions.
