[DML] Re: Just curious - parade participation

["Tell you if you ask." <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pffft....Are you kidding? I don't know about other parts of the 
country but here in the DC/Baltimore Ghetto-plex, people act like 
Universal Studios is touring a mobile BTTF ride.

At filling stations I've had people walk up, touch, open the doors, 
plop down in the driver's seat, you name it without asking. When I 
dine out, I always park so I can watch the car from inside. When I'm 
not physically in view, people usually just look in the windows and 
touch it. Everyone just has to touch it.

Granted, -most- people ask first but there's this growing class of 
idiots that think they're "entitled" to a tour. Now the car is no 
longer my daily driver.
