Hurst/Olds Club Members What Were You all Thinking?

https://www.facebook.com/search/top/...epa=SEARCH_BOX

Just saw this on facebook and couldn't believe it. Joe Spagnoli is such a benevolent guy to have this done to his ride. What were these people thinking when they took it upon themselves to climb up on this car? And who the hell was standing around taking pictures of it. I just don't get it. I hope the repairs get paid for by all guilty parties.

I saw this also......despicable. I would never even think of TOUCHING another owners vehicle unless invited. Such disrespect. I hope all responsible will do the right thing here.

While Joe was out to dinner, some members climbed on the platform of his Hurst / Olds pace car. ( It's the one with the platform and huge Hurst shifter over the deck lid.). Apparently it suffered some damage.

I have never been nothing but a complete gentleman to EVERYONE that has ever ASKED me to take a photo on the platform with the shifter.
Frankly I’m not very happy with the way a certain group of our club took it upon THEMSELVES to climb up on my car and make an *** of themselves especially when I was nowhere around.
I’m very certain that if it was your car you would feel the same way!
I have been told by many that club members were on the platform making an *** of themselves so I’m not singling anyone out you all know who you are! You all have your own photos to prove it!
Please understand that my frustration is that I’m left with the task of repairing the damage to the body and the stress cracks from the rocking of the platform and shifter from people thinking my car was a jungle gym!
If anyone wants to contact me personally my cell phone number is (847) 525-9200.
I’m more than positive after we all review the photos taken you will more than understand my position as I would never have disrespected anyone’s property that way!
More importantly please forward this to all the people you know that took place in helping to cause the damage to my property!
I think I did a pretty good job keeping my cool Friday night after taking Linda to dinner only to come back and find out this news from the people that were in shock from club members actions.

When I got up to Indy on Saturday, I saw Joe's car. Not seeing him around, I called him and told him some winos were sleeping in the back of it, and that one was doing a clog dance in golf shoes on the hood. I had no idea, nor did he tell me what had happened. What a cool guy. What morons..

So I guess my previous post was a little too harsh as it has been deleted. It does not change my opinion.

Joe,
I'm sorry for you buddy, no one deserves what happened here. My brother in-law and I saw what was going on thinking the car owner was aware and part of the "festivities"... did not realize the car was yours. I can't imagine how you feel, you are handling this far better than I would and I commend you for that. I hope they all (and there were quite a few) step up and take responsibility for their actions.

Dino

Good thing it wasn't my car they were defacing. If it was and I knew it, they would be paying a little fine to the local sheriff..

Yeah, Mr. shifter car contact the police. These days the litmus test for who is a genius and who isn't is committing criminal (and stupid) acts and posting video of the act online. Even if the posts are now gone a few emails from law enforcement to the proper web site parties will provide the visual evidence for something like charges of criminal damaging. The stuff we post is in a sense permanent fellas.

Some years ago I had my unrestored 1952 98 at a large local show and when I returned from walking around with my wife there was some doof and his doof son sitting in my car. Things got hot very fast but I felt bad afterwards when I discovered after some yelling this guy didn't really realize he made a huge mistake. No need for the cops that time.

The HOCA is a fine club, and better than the OCA in many ways. There is a big push to find these people (who may not have been in the club) and hold them financially responsible. I personally would hold them physically responsible, too.

One of the reasons our country sucks more now is that good people do not enforce manners on bad people.

I saw Waverlyn Karch up there as well as her grandchild and a few other older ladies that were with her get up there around 7:45pm on Friday, they posted pictures on FB immediately after but removed them since.
The damage was discovered later Friday when Joe returned from dinner with Linda.
Not sure if she has talked to Joe or provided information in regards to the others that were up there but people were not jumping around etc but it seems there were enough people taking photo ops to eventually cause some damage...
The picture is Ron Krier, he took it on Sunday at 1am well after the damage occurred albeit Joe is still not happy about it since it's an example of what occurred on Friday.

I saw this and I just can't believe some Olds enthusiasts that know the value and own these cars would do this to another Olds enthusiasts car. Totally unbelievable!
Some people think they are better then others and can do what they want when they want...acting like spoiled brats!
If that was my car and it needed paint work because of this and I found the offenders,I would demand them pay for a complete paint job.
Why should the owner have to settle for a paint job that is blended or may not be a perfect match because of others crime?
I would take it to court and sue.

I don’t know what’s worse, someone crawling up on your car, or having a platform strapped on your car and a big shifter sticking up, so you can stand up there.
heres prob why the guy went up there.

So, is he an epic d-bag? Or just drunk at the time?

Hold all accountable and prosecute

I would have lost my mind if it was mine. I'd be in jail for that. Hope Joe got this figured out. These individuals should be banned from the club or group period!!

Yup. if this thread is a year old, 3 years old, should not matter, those that did this should be reminded of what they did, and others reminded to not allow them at events or their vehicles.
hopefully if they were part of an olds club, they got told there is the door. or the whole club is no better than those that did it.
