My HORRIBLE experience at the Detroit Auto Show!

If you didn't want to ruin your daughters night you should have swallowed your pride and just walked away knowing you were right and she was wrong.

i dont think he realized this lady was as rediculous as she was. I probably would have done the same, its a fucking car show....cars are on display to be looked at and admired. if that lady had something to hide then they shouldnt have had a car on display at an AUTO SHOW!
 
No, he shouldnt have. This is the mentality that lets the Government take a shit all over us (I know she isnt Government, but you know what I mean).

People dont question authority and it leads to themselves and their rights being destroyed.

I'm not saying he shouldn't have stood up to her, I'm just saying if you don't want a big spectacle in front of your 5 year old daughter, then you just walk away. I agree with every part of his rant except the "what she deserves for ruining my 5 year old daughters night."

His daughter's night didn't have to be ruined. If he would have just walked away, his daughter's night would have been fine. He had to stand there because of what he is "entitled" to look at. Sure, you're right, but you look like the asshole to everyone there. No one knows the story, they see the guy getting escorted away from a display by security while his 5 year old daughter is crying her eyes out.

So is it important enough for you to know what kind of exhaust a car has for the trauma your daughter had to go through to think her dad was getting taken away from her?

Meet Dan sometime he is far from being anything close to an asshole.. He's a stand up guy and I honestly do not blame him one bit.. I mean come on your looking at a damn exhaust system not the codes to deploy a nuclear bomb
 
I said look like an asshole, not is an asshole. I don't disagree with him in any way other than saying it was that woman's fault for ruining his daughter's night in a situation he could have avoided.

He seems to have handled himself very well in the situation with a very level head. But can you honestly say that if you saw a guy being escorted away from a display by security with his little daughter crying uncontrollably, you wouldn't think poorly of that individual. There is a time and place to make a point and a time to swallow your pride and walk away.

Sorry about that it's a lil late and my eyes are half asleep :lol:

He sure handled it better then myself I'm quite the hot head at times and would probably go up one side and right down the other.....

I understand what you are saying. There came a point where I made a judgment call in the situation, and at that point I decided that I was going to stand my ground and not back down because of a fundamental principle of right and wrong that was involved.

Perhaps you are right, I could have walked away with my daughter and come back at a later time and dealt with the situation. Maybe that's what I should have done. At the same time, afterward, while eating icecream upstairs with her (along with one of the security guards who escorted me out) the security guard said to her, "Its okay honey, you're daddy is fine, and he did the right thing."

Is she old enough to understand these things yet? Maybe not. But there are just some times in life when you stand your ground. I felt that this was one of those moments. Hopefully my daughter will learn to discern these moments as she gets older, and hopefully she will do it better than dad because I sure know he doesn't always do everything just the way it ought to be done. But he tries his very best:cheers:

PS. I agree with you Dan. It IS a bit of a tough call on whether or not you should have done it in front of your daughter... but I think I would have done the same thing. Kids are tough. She's probably already shaken it off. What's more important, IMHO, is that you were correct and stood up for yourself.
 
Hey Dan theres another guy on another website with the SAME gripe, went to the show saw that exact Mustang and she told that person that she would have security escort them out ect..... lol sounds like the same Hag!
