Went out for a drink and had the top and doors off. Sat where I could keep an eye on my Jeep.
Millenial kid came along and started hanging around my Jeep, then leaning on it and sitting on it like it was his as he engaged passers by in conversation.
So I set off my car alarm.

“Millennial Kid” doesn’t quite mean what you think. Millennials are between about 25 and 40. I’m a millennial and I’ve been in the Air Force over 20 years…

Ran into this the other day, at work.

My employer often hosts conferences and such, so it's not unheard of for us to get groups of people there... but came out to my car, last week, (the one time I've been back into the office in the last month) and found a teacher and her entire class taking photos with the truck. (kiddos were maybe 7-10yrs)

Apparently covering your Gladiator with Mandalorian vinyl can attract folks

LOL

Anyway, as I approach the car, she starts watching me... and then goes 'Can I HELP YOU!?', like I'm some pedo or something.

I tell her I'm getting ready to leave, and (somewhat rudely) she goes: 'Ok.. then leave already.. no one is stopping you.'

I pointed to the Gladiator, and said: 'That's my Jeep.'

LOL, her face got as red as the Jeep, realizing she and her class were blocking me. She apologized, and started to back away, and a couple of the boys asked if they could get their photos in the back. The teacher told them to not bother me, and I told them only if she was ok with it. In fact, if she was ok with it, I'd back the Jeep out and let them take photos sitting in the back, on the front bumper, etc...

She seemed shocked, and even said, afterwards she was sorry she was so rude.

Needless to say, there's a photo out there, somewhere, of the 10 or so kids climbing all over the Jeep, as they went for a group photo, with the kids sitting on the front bumper, and in the bed. (I wouldn't let them sit on the hood like they wanted... figured that was an accident waiting to happen)

I rode the Guzzi Cafe Sport over to Sportsmen's Warehouse, bought some ammo and was following a 50ish couple out. He was decked out in his hd farkles, t-shirt and chain wallet. She said, looking at my motorcycle, "nice bike". He said" Yeah, but it's not a harley!" She snapped her head to look at him and slapped him on the arm exclaiming "what do you know? You don't even OWN a bike!" At that point I started to guffaw, alerting them to my close proximity. I was wearing the leathers and carrying the helmet. She started laughing while he snorted and sulked away. I had a great ride home. not sure about him.

How's the Ural reliability? Thinking of buying one.

I would absolutely lose my shit if I caught someone doing this.

Anyone know of a good baseball bat storage solution? ?

Did you ask him if he 'knows Gil Gonzales?'

Years ago we were at car show when the announcer came over the speakers reminding people to not touch the cars etc.. We were not far from our '56 so my wife runs over, across the hood, over the roof and plops her butt on the trunk lid. The crowds reaction was priceless!!
(There is a reason our Club's original name was 'The A$$holes', later changed to Road Agents.)

But someone else's car, NO WAY!

He was 25ish. Man bun and beard....vape device...pink tank top and sandals.

IF I coulda taught him in my high school classes, he's a kid.

That's some weird shit man.

I want to have a hot take on today's society and culture but that's just beyond my own experience right there. I wouldn't do something like that even on a dare. Reminds me of a skit off Impractical Jokers or something.

Disdain for the man bun and vape is always acceptable.

HA! Poser.

I used to work across the industrial park at a Ural importer/assembler in '96-'98 timeframe. Still going after 20+ years they must be doing something right.

If I was a rich man and biker, I'd go for Keanu Reeve's bikes - Arch.

I haven't had the lucky scenario of kids trying to be rich IG kids. The minimum would be the panic button. At worst, the very worst, the opportunity to have the unpleasant sensation of what 115g of copper feels like travelling at 784mph and striking a $20 meat sack.

As unpure as it sounds, gotta go with an aluminum bat; they make a satisfying "ping" noise.

Call me old fashion, I like the crack of wood against bone... I mean a baseball.

That seems a little unhinged. No need to murder someone.
