I'm nearly at the end of my rope with people who feel the need to fondle every inch of my perfectly detailed Grand National at car shows.The polite "Please don't Touch" signs just aren't cutting it.Let's hear some of the funny/nasty signs you've seen on cars at car shows.I'm looking for a new one to make to let these touchy-feely people know to keep their grubby hands off my baby! :mad:
 
"LIFE'S A BITCH...AND THEN YOU MARRY ONE!!"

Here's a sign that I've redone from an old sign my grandfather used when he displayed his cars. I'm going to start using this next time I show. :)

Both in large upper case:
1. THIS IS A CAR SHOW, NOT A PETTING ZOO
2. UNATTENDED CHILDREN WILL BE SOLD AS SLAVES
 
WARNING!
Car is electrically charged with 1,000,000 volts. Do not touch!
 
"If you value your life as much as I do my Grand National, DON'T TOUCH IT!"
 
When I had my low miles GN it worried me sick to leave it unattended. I put those Magnet signs on the doors & front of engine bay. It helped a bit but not when little kids would try to look into your car hanging off the door.

I learned to find a space that was not a lead through to ice cream stand or other cars. I always looked for a corner/end spot & never parked next to another fancy car that would really ATTRACT gawkers who would back up into your car.

Now that I have the LIMITED & the paint is SO SO I don't give a FLUK anymore.
I still look for out of the way spots. Must be a habit.
 
You toucha my car, I breaka you face. :wink:
 
If you don't want people touching your car, don't take it to car shows. Besides, fingerprints wipe off. Deal with it. Unless your car is IMMACULATE, you look like a chode with all those signs on your car, like its the frickin' Mona Lisa.

The only time I get nervous is when you have some d!ck with the 6 foot wallet chain walking around your car. I'm just waiting to hear the "clank" of it hitting my car so I can hang him with his stupid ass chain. Otherwise, if I go to a car show (I rarely enter my car anymore) I expect fingerprints and a seat full of flyers when I get back to my car. Just like when I go to the track I expect a 3/4" layer of dust and rubber build up by the time I leave.
 
Or the Kid Swinging Dad's Heavy Keychain...

I just stay around it as much as I can. At my first show with my newly-purchased '87 T, a small girl was walking around with her family not far behind swinging daddy's heavy keychain full of keys around her index finger! :eek:

When she came within swinging distance of mine, I stepped out and said very pleasantly "Sweetheart, please be careful with those keys..." and all was fine. Her dad realized my concern (you could see the light bulb turn on over his head).

Surprisingly, turns out her dad was a participant and had a very exquisitely painted Camaro there, but yet didn't put 2 and 2 together until I said something.

I guess as long as you're civil, it's okay. But there is no reason people should not know they shouldn't touch and be careful around the cars. Much more than "just fingerprints" can result-- dings, dents, and scratches don't "wipe off."

As far as parking, my wife and I are so conditioned now that we always park in remote end spaces, even when we have a rental car! Old habits die hard, I suppose... :rolleyes:

It's more the principle to me than anything else. It always seemed to me like a general rule not to touch other people's stuff. Iv'e been going to car shows all my life and NEVER even thought about about laying a finger on someone elses car. Car shows are for looking not smearing. I never put signs on my car at shows but I can't stand it when I find fingerprints. :mad:
 
The Winner!

After careful consideration from all my replies on three forums I declare this one the best.
I went to work using my very limited graphic art skills, and this is what I came up with.
