A reporter with CBS Sacramento 13 Good Day Sacramento has been sacked after he damaged and disrespected several new and classic cars at a local auto show, apparently as part of a gag.Angel Cardenas was reporting on the Sacramento International Auto Show ahead of its opening to the public when he decided to exhibit complete and utter negligence of the rules of pretty much every car show ever.As the anchors in the studio throw to him on-air, he walks around the car show, which apparently has no security, and then proceeds to commit the biggest car show faux-pas ever.No one is out here to tell me which car I cant go in because some of these are off-limits so Im going to live on the wild side, he dares. Tell me what you think about this pose right here, Tina?He then proceeds to jump up on the rear of a yellow Ford Thunderbird, and put his feet on the beautiful show car paint, possibly damaging it. The anchors giggle and laugh as the idiot makes a total fool of himself.Next he dings a different Thunderbird with the door of another.At one point, Angel jumps up on the hood of a brand-new 2020 Ford Explorer Hybrid, a car that hasnt even seen showroom floors yet.Our question: who hired this guy in the first place? He clearly didnt do any research about the show before showing up to report on it, and even admits hes winging it, which doesnt really cut it on the news. This guys delivery is so bad, he couldnt get a job at Dominos.Baffling-ly, it seems Angel somehow thought this approach was acceptable funny, even despite boasting on his LinkedIn profile that hes a professional.Were glad this guy will never be reporting on any car show in our

Carlos Ghosn sues Nissan-Mitsubishi for millions in damages
Carlos Ghosn is reported to have launched a lawsuit against Nissan and Mitsubishi after he was removed as chairman of the alliance last year on charges of financial misconduct. Dutch newspaper NRC claims Ghosn is seeking £13.5m (€15m) in damages in a Netherlands case, with his lawyer claiming proper procedure was not followed when the two Japanese companies ousted the chairman. “In the Netherlands, if you want to fire an executive you have to first tell him what he’s being accused of, and you have to provide him with the evidence for the accusations. Neither of those things has happened,” lawyer Laurens de Graaf told the paper. The case is being reviewed but a trial date has not been set. So far, Ghosn has launched no cases against his other former employer, Renault, as he resigned from the French firm’s board of his own accord. Ghosn, who has been charged with a number of financial misconduct offences, was planning to tell the world his side of the story via a press conference earlier this year, and created a Twitter account to inform the public. The next day, however, he was re-arrested by Japanese authorities, before being freed on a £3.6m bail later that month. He has since regularly repeated his claims he is being framed by Nissan executives and is innocent of the charges against him, including understating his income over five years by £34 million. The 65-year-old was dismissed from his role as Nissan’s chairman after he was arrested last November. But he officially remained on the firm’s board until a vote in Tokyo in April. Greg Kelly, the former Nissan special director who was arrested at the same time as Ghosn, was also sacked. Renault chairman Jean-Dominique Senard was added to the board, as part of an effort to stabilise the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance following Ghosn’s

Gas explosion kills one, damages large Porsche collection
The Ingram Collection of PorschesPorsche One person died and more than two dozen were injured when a gas explosion tore apart a building in Durham, North Carolina this week. According to Automotive News, the explosion occurred inside an old Studebaker Dealership. The building was almost totally destroyed, and the explosion damaged a number of vintage Porsches that were stored in a nearby warehouse. The vehicles were part of one of the largest collection of Porsches in the world, over 80 vehicles owned by Bob Ingram. The Ingram Collection was profiled by Porsche itself in a piece about love stories with the brand, and called it “a breathtaking review of automotive design history.” Ingram declined to comment when contacted by local news station Spectrum News, which aired a few minutes of overhead footage of the carnage.

The Studebaker dealership was built in 1928 but closed in 1930 after just two years. Since then it has gone through many owners and housed an abundance of businesses, including a few auto repair shops, restaurants and office space. The Ingram Collection, which has been praised as one of the largest collections of #vintage Porsches in the world, was being stored in a warehouse connected to the building that exploded in Durham this morning.
