I thought cars.com was more professional. | Yeah shame on cars.com for putting that asshole in front of a camera. This guy has obviously not been in the business long, he was obviously very nervous and I think thats where the lame attempts at humor came from. If you watch it again notice that he looks away from the camera a lot and is on the verge of shaking. Im not giving him a excuse for calling the ti a piece of crap but he probably did it at an attempt at humor. Cars.com still did choose to not only put it on youtube but also leave that part in, I would have expected professionals to edit something like that out. What a ass, I hope he's at the Chicago Auto Show.... __________________ "Drive Fast and Take Chances" | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
