Wow, just wow. If real and if that had happened in GA rather than CA I'm not sure the guy would have made it to being fired....

Apparently only San Diegans stay classy. Somebody knock his teeth out.

He thinks he is professional? Wrinkled, untucked shirts, and tw** like behavior is not professional.

My buddy showed this to me the other day. What a fucking jackass. It said he got fired afterwards, but I really didn’t want to look into it more. None of that was entertaining or remotely funny. People put their blood, sweat, and tears into these cars NOT for some fucking tool to jump on them like that. Also, who’s idea was it to hire him in the first place? That person needs to be fired too

The escort needs a stern talking to, she seemed to make a joke out of it.

As soon as he started to get on the car she should have broken him in two.

Edit: that woman wasn't the escort, where was the escort?

Is it customary there to just let reporters cruise around the cars unescorted?

The idiot reporter isn't the only one who needs a talking to.

i'm not saying i support violence, i'm just saying that if the owners of said cars were to do something to/about him, i wouldn't notice, even if i was cleaning the floor next to them.

If you were cleaning the floor next to them, would you also clean the floor after they were done?

perhaps he was comparing how easily new cars can get dents by sitting on top of them compared to the old classics with their hunk of metal that would never budge! imagine if he did that to a twin, fender and hood would crumple! his dent analysis will be forever underappreciated..
