Default Philly Auto Show

I went to the Philly Auto Show yesterday. Everything went well except when I was looking at an '09 Ram some schmuck comes over to me and wants to tell me "the facts" about Dodge Rams. He claimed he was in a 45 mph collision and the air bags didn't work. At this point, the Dodge representative came over and told him he couldn't be here. He starts yelling "I have a right to talk to the public" And "Dodge Ram airbags don't work". I told him I didn't want to listen to his crap and walked away.

He continued yelling his facts and they called security over. Security surrounded him and let him continue his BS for a few more minutes and then they finally threw him out. I heard one of the models say she saw the truck outside and it only had a few scratches on it.

When I left the show, he was still outside trying to recruit people to go in and put his info in the trucks.

Anyway, here are some pictures.

Yeah, he said he broke his nose. But he looked O.K. to me- except for being an A hole.

I crashed my old f150 into a pole doing 50.... the airbags didnt go off and i wasnt wearing a seatbelt either. god knows how i walked away from that one without a scratch i just held on to the steering wheel like a mother****er since i could see it coming a mile away. Sometimes you just get lucky i know i did. Just goes to show you cant rely on the airbags to go off i wear my seatbelt from now on hahaha

You are lucky walking away from something like that.
