The moron got what he deserved..

god, what a moron. to take a $35,000 car and treat it like he's driving his car. for one thing, the service writer did not write down on the R/O to drive in excess of 100 mph to check engine performance. and second, its a paying customer's car, before i worked at that chevy dealership, some fool got fired for taking a corvette and running the hell out of it. i do road tests, i did one on a camaro Z-28, just got done doing a tranny service and flush. when it was time to do a road test, i drove it at regular driving conditions, just to make sure it shifts right. all in all, taking someone elses car and driving it like that is just a stupid thing to do.

BTW, just so you all know, it happened at Northside Ford in San Antonio Texas.

Actually, that's probably the place to go to now because I've heard that they've taken a lot of heat for that. Basically, people from all over the U.S. have either called or mailed them expressing their "dissatisfaction" at what happened.

To boot, that post made it's way onto many different boards, even a Honda board!!!
