That was proven to be a hoax

So you create a culture of fear and distrust. Ensure every loony is armed to the teeth. Create a series of regulations that absolves said loonies from the consequences of shooting first and asking questions later if they feel “threatened.” Then you’re suprises that the loonies see everyone else as others?

Sure is great that Governor Abbott is spending money to put razor wire in a river and pay some gun thugs to harass both immigrants and federal border patrol workers, instead of fixing the electrical grid that seems to fail at least yearly. This republican trifecta government sure is working out well for everyday…

We just are so much better than this.

This. I see where they're going with this - let's make the First only apply to corporations. Individuals had better shut the hell up. It's just another step in the process of elevating business above citizens and elevating MAGA speech while banning anything else.

Them:”Let the free market decide!”
Also Them:
“NO NOT THAT WAY!”

The only “free speech” people like Musk care about protecting are hate speech, lies, and other types of abuse.

The dealership should have put this right. No messing about. The car was rare enough to be special but not unique, they should have contacted a specialist and found a replacement. Sure it would cost a shedload of money but the sort of person who has cars with only 989 miles on them probably can afford to sue H&L…

“If anyone was stupid, it was the owner for making demands they knew they couldn’t enforce. The service writer knew what he was doing, I guarantee they were calling the customer an “asshole” and took the car out to spite him. They might not have even bothered if he didn’t say anything.”

One of the most broken minded…

You don’t get it, do you? That’s okay.

I don’t have proof. That not one, but two service techs explicitly went against the wishes of the customer and took the car for a joyride does not happen in a shop screams that this kind of stuff happens all the time. Could it be a one-off? Sure, but I don’t think so.

The first problem wasn’t the testing of the jetski, but the “let’s bring more people and another jetski and have a fun afternoon!” 🤣

Because they obviously had a corporate culture where it was acceptable to take cars off the lot and race them. The chances of this sort of shit happening the very first time an employee tried it are vanishingly small. You almost never get caught the first time, or even tenth time, it is when it becomes almost an…

Two things: First, it would take a special kind of stupid to have in your hands a six year old car with 989 miles on it and not think that the owner wouldn’t notice that you put 20, 10 or even 2 miles on it.

“I see nothing in this article that makes me think the dealership did anything negligent or intentionally wrong, story is about a loser of a human being intentionally criminal.”

The fact that the service advisor felt that not only could he violate a customer’s clearly indicated terms for service on his car but also felt comfortable enough that he took another employee with him indicates a culture at this dealership that makes him liable.

If the purchaser is not on the title, why is the state harassing them to carry insurance on the car? 

Most likely a BHPH lot that doesn’t release the title to you until you pay off the absolutely absurd amount ($6k for an 18 year old Taurus is larceny!).

the article does not seem to say - but I think the loan was direct with the dealership and not with a bank.
