Nothing new to me. I have my own stantions. I don't use them at every show mostly indoor multiple day shows. Some shows you got a bunch of people that could care less about your car.

Never seen those used at an outside show, but at the inside World of Wheels show in Birmingham they require some sort of deal like that. Some use rope, some use those yellow plastic chains, seen a few with those nylon ribbons. It helps keep kids and stupid people off of big $ paint jobs.....

OH yeaI see it now. Obviously what Tripper was appalled by is the rope rubbing on the passenger side fender! Unbelievable!!!!Not parked squarely in the lines either! [ddd
Someone do that to their rat and see what people say.
I see it now and the rear strap being so close to the trunk that, any kid, walking by, could get a cold beer out of his cooler [S
He could get a contributing to the delinquency of a minor charge for that [ddd
How irresponsible can you get

Yeah, the purpose of the stantions is to protect the car from others not the owner!
Yup, should be out a few feet. That's why I like plastic ones too less damage when the slam into your car.

While it seems odd to do that, I sorta can understand where he is coming from. Some people are extremely thoughtless and others can't seem to control their kids or dogs.( Why people even take a dog to a car show is beyond me )
I have stopped going to a downtown show because there are tons of people riding by on bikes and skateboards, and whole families who think everything their little angels do is ok. I have seen kids climb up on running boards, slide down fenders, and teenagers, who should know better, open doors and climb in.
Don't misunderstand, I often suggest someone climb into my car when they are taking a picture of it, but I don't want them to do it on their own.

I understand it too cause, I've got a couple shiny cars that I don't want the inconsiderate to damage either.
I don't use a barrier but, would have moved it farther away from the car

Don,
I was at an outside show a couple years ago where a drunk cowboy was going up & down the street getting into every car & playing like he was driving them... I couldn't believe my eyes. I was in the old Daytripper & he didn't appear interested in takin' a spin!
