Bad day at the Dodge dealership

An eye witness tells his story:
I was dropping off a car I just fixed at the Dodge dealership yesterday and this was going on , snapped a pic with my cel. As one of the techs was driving the brand new Challenger RT around the dealership the throttle suddenly stuck wide open , his only choices were to jump a 4 lane highway or slam into the rendezvous on the used car lot. He bounced of the rendezvous and took out the light post , rendezvous hit the intrepid ......

wanna get away:chuckles:

...HA!

Nice new car. Fucking throttle sticks and almost kills somebody. Hope the driver is alright :yup:

That's..........................gonna leave a mark.

I'm guessing the throttle sticking had something to do with the gas pedel being pressed against the floor. Someone couldn't handle the power.

His 3rd, and most logical and effective choice, would have been to just quickly pop the tranny into Neutral.

What the hell kind of option package is that?




Nostalgia third gen camaro package?

Not a Dodge fan but hate to see a new ride wrecked like that

No brakes? No "throw it into neutral"? No "turn the ignition off"?

In that case dumbass deserves to be PWNT!

turn engine off...???

probably a newbie driver....

yes, turning the engine off is the best option!

throwing into neutral will almost certainly destroy the engine

exactly...it's also drive-by-wire so if it "got stuck" it sure as shit wasn't from the throttle cable.

lyin ass spun it around and biffed it

my guess is that it happened really fast your mind just doesnt think that quickly. I'm so sure everone here would never ever crash a car that has a stuck throttle right?

iv already seen pics of a new 2010 maro smashed up

It'll buff out...

Wow, just wow. This was really his only option? WTF.
