Reporter Fired For Jumping On Classic Cars

A California TV reporter said he felt like a kid in a candy store as he hopped onto cars at an auto show — inspiring outrage from classic car lovers who called his behavior shocking and disrespectful.
CBS 13's Good Day Sacramento features reporter Angel Cardenas was fired after an on-air segment in which he jumped on several cars and appeared to hit another with a door, according to the Sacramento International Auto Show. No vehicles were damaged, the Sacramento Bee reported.
Video of the segment posted to the station's Facebook page was quickly deleted after outcry, but thankfully a version narrated by viewer Adam Copeland has since been uploaded — and it's A LOT.
"No one is out here to tell me which car I can't go in, because some of these are off limits, so I'm just going to live on the wild side," Cardenas says in the video before hopping onto the trunk of a vintage yellow Ford Thunderbird. "I feel like a kid in a candy store without the owner, because you can do anything."
quote:
Cardenas didn't limit his showmanship to classic cars: He was also filmed jumping on the hood of a new hybrid Ford SUV, even after noting a sign said to keep off of displays.
"That didn't sound good," Cardenas says after jumping on the car.

I know several guys that would have left him in a bloody heap if he did that to their cars.

Send him back.

Reporter sounds like a real productive member of society.

If not damage was done and it was truly due to exuberance, why fire the guy?

He made a bad decision to jump on cars in the first place.

based on the report I would have thought this was a local high school kid filming for his school news report or something. How in the everloving frick could a CBS news station allow this, much less actually film and air it?

Shows his lack of judgement. If he was that dumb once you have to believe he’s going to do it again. Too much of a risk to the station I’d assume at that point.

He should do a segment at Auschwitz and see what happens.

Did you watch the video?
Two reasons, IMO: 1) The guy is a f*cking moron with the mentality of a 10 year old and has zero respect for other people's property, and 2) damage or not, he filmed himself vandalizing property (very expensive property) and put his station at risk both financially and with their reputation.
Anyone who vandalizes others' property is a liability and an arsehole and he deserves termination. Maybe he'll grow and learn from it...because he's still got a lot of learning left to do to be a grown man.
You wanna be cute and play stupid childish boy games then you'll win the same type prizes.

His employer would be getting a very expensive bill for repairing the car.

I feel like this is fake. He was being too stupid.

After thinking more about it, I retract my post. He exposed the station to possible liability for car damage. Plus, I wouldn't want someone climbing over one of my cars.
I loaned my 32 Buick model 90 (the only Buick true classic car) to my nephew, a mechanic. The hood is split and you open it from each side. He didn't treat the hood kindly and it broke the hinge, which is an expensive part.

This is more of a Walton-mobile (1930 Model A truck). This is my favorite picture of my Dad (I took it a couple of years before he passed away).
It has the Ford 4 cylinder that makes a very distinctive sound as it chugs along at about 30 mph.
