It was bound to be a terrible video when the guy sounded impressed with himself for guessing the wheel would land on R...  when its just about already stopped on it already.

Formula 1 is wondering what that means.

I’d love to say she got it or didn’t get it. all I know is the narrator of the video definitely got it.

Choosing the right Ford.

GOD DAMN that was a terrible video you chose to embed. Really didn’t need the WAY Louder voiceover. 

I dont blame the organizers for not refunding, if they want to keep a race there they probably couldnt afford to refund after having paid the fees.  The FIA should have done the refunds.  I was at the 2006 USGP tire debacle and I got my tickets refunded from Michelin plus free seats for the next year.

Torch,

No ‘future’ about it.

Bad publicity doesn’t really work if they don’t care what people think.

Mind you, though, I’m not suggesting the dealer is blameless. I’m suggesting they can argue that they’re blameless, through the “sorta-kinda-but-not-really-works-for-us” nonsense of calling him a “freelance dealer” compounded by the fact that the kid made out the check to Steelman directly.

As a dealership:

Ah - it must be in one of the linked articles, because I still don’t see it this article.

Usually you don’t get the title right off the bat when you buy from a dealer.

Usually when you buy a car from a dealer you don’t get the title right away -- it gets mailed to you when the transfer goes through. This is different from how private-party sales work in most states.

I’ve never purchased a car from a dealership and gotten the title right away. Just a bill of sale. And if it were sold through the dealer they could have stepped in before the sale was through and said “yo. You owe money for this car and can’t sell it” or there would be a contract and they’d have no right to reposess…

It doesn’t matter.  Under contract law, if the salesperson appeared to the buyer to have the authority to sell the vehicle, then the sales contract was valid and binding upon the car dealership.  

If they are unwilling to do that they could potentially give him a car worth $10,000 and it would also be satisfactory. Perhaps a certain 2016 Mazda CX-5.

And while the dealer is trying to make it right for Fredricks, he’s still out of $10,000 and a car.

Having a hotel room on wheels probably helps to get laid.
