Can't see how he's being disrespected. Abusing something that doesn't belong to you is wrong. That's a nobrainer! I don't care how many times a tech or salesman does it. It's unprofessional every single time it's done. Period. end thread/

He found out after he got there that his buddy cannot ID cars worth a ****. He thought he was going out there to run a GT.

I bought my car with 80 miles from the dealership(got it way below sticker) i assumed stuff like this was going on to it.. no damage done.. I guess i'm the only one that doesn't see this as a big deal..

I totally agree with it being ****ed up racing someone's vehicle but other comments about not trying out the car yourself on a testdrive? You guys are telling me you didn't floor your car before you bought it??? I sure as hell floored my car on the test drive, otherwise I wouldn't have known if it was fast enough for me or performed well.

That being said, I did baby the car for a thousand miles after I bought it.....

that is true but what if 15 people before you test drove that car you bought and all of them floored beat on it like you did.

now just think of somebody else test driving it before you even looked at it and they drove it around and didnt care what they tore up because it wasnt theirs and they werent gonna buy it. they would beat on the car a hell of alot more than you did

apparently these engines and trannys weren't built to accelerate quickly very often or they'll break... so much wear and tear.. that car wont last to 60k miles before it needs everything replaced..
