I get there and say "Hey don't touch the car, you can look all you want but there is no reason to put your hands on it." His wife calls me a jerk and they walk on. Seriously, is there a need to touch somebody's car? Does this happen at all car shows?

well your a nicer guy then me cause I would have been not as nice with the guy and when his wife opened her mouth I probably would have answered back with B*#ch

Yea I agree with most there is no need to touch the car. Most people at shows have a sign that says "do not touch" . But if they do I sternly ask them to please don't touch.

I'll tell you a few of my bad experiences at car shows.
1. Found people leaning on the side, few scratches.
2. Little kids with greasy fingers drawing stick figures on my door, parents were right next to them yet did nothing. I never wanted to punt a kid like a football so bad in my life before.
3. Would walk back from looking at other cars to find someone sitting in my car, or popping the hood up.
4. Car in the show parked next to me, and swung his door open right into the side of my car.
5. Saw someone lightly kicking/taping the tire with their foot for some reason..

Any scratches I received where all easily buffed out, and the guy who door-dinged me paid for the repairs (ended up being a $2,500 repair). Dudes lucky he had insurance.

With all that, I still go to shows. I like winning trophies.
