Tom Cruise


In the wake of audiophiles Tom Cruise and Jimmy Fallon discussing audio systems on the Tonight Show, be sure and catch the scene in the new Mission Impossible movie where Cruise searches for a John Coltrane LP in a record shop.

I remember ages ago, I was in a high end stereo store in Westwood looking at something and discussing it with the dealer in detail and Tom Cruise came in with his stunning girlfriend at the time.

This was LA and entertainers are a dime a dozen here so no one flips out when one walks in.

He stood and listened to us talk for awhile and then came over and asked me some questions about the equipment. I talked to him for a few moments and also told him I didn't work there. We still talked.

He knows high end audio and audio equipment quite well and was a very approachable guy. He also knows high end motorcycles well.

just a short story about Tom Cruise.

Some people do certain things like parking in handicapped zones because people or the store/establishment won't report them. If the store reported it, that car would have been towed and that would have ended that behavior. If the store/establishment knew. Which, from what I read above, they did. If you see something, say something. But, most people ignore bad behavior and simply mumble something and walk away. I don't think is was about door dings and more about not getting the store stolen. Handicapped spots are directly in front of the stores.

I've also seen very expensive cars park wayyy out in the lot away from every other car only to come out later and one person just had to park right next to it. no other cars near.

Point is there are jerks on both sides.

Get your car towed once in LA and you won't do that again. It is a real pain to get your cars back.

The ticket writer and tow truck drivers don't know and couldn't care less who the car belongs to. They will write the ticket and tow the car. Police can run the license plates. Not ticket writers or tow truck drivers.

The best thing to do is not confront the car owner, but go complain to the store/establishment owner/manager.

Anyway, my rant. It goes both ways.

I meant to write, "not getting the car stolen".

Boy, I really need spell check.
