I’ve never had this rule. I went to the Taco Bell drive-thru (and my bowels survived) last weekend in the R8. Food can be cleaned if anything should happen.

It’s not outrageous, though, either. You don’t know that the car was only in for an oil change (or that the dealership doesn’t have a “checklist” they go through on every car). Driving it down the road on your lunch break to see if you can identify some vague noise or sound that a customer complains out happens every…

And the tech would go back to work, and you’d be arrested. Great plan.

I’m not a fan of the high speeds on public roads, but I completely agree with what you’re saying. I had to have my differential replaced in my car last year. I happened to watch the dashcam footage after I picked it up and observed the tech spiritedly driving and taking hard turns through the adjacent, empty parking…

totally normal. if this was me getting caught when i was a tech, my service manager probably would have slapped me on the shoulder and said “thank you for taking it on a road test. did you get me a burger?”

You’re not going to notice your 09 Impala in traffic. It’s a common car that no one cares about.

I work in the service department at a dealership and we drive every single car that comes through. As part of our service we wash and vacuum the vehicle at the car wash down the street. I know the owner thinks they “caught” the employee doing something outrageous but really they just caught them doing their job.

While I don’t condone hooning in a customer car, I do agree a lot of people are severely overreacting here. As far as I can tell they were just alleging that the service tech was driving fast, and plenty of people have a propensity for exaggeration these days. My guess is the tech punched the car to 60 in front of…

Okay, but I could destroy every Pinto in the world until there are only 100 left and that doesn’t make them any more special to drive. If this is just a regular Camaro with some pretty stickers and paint I don’t see why it would be any more thrilling to drive than any other one.

I found an inconsistency in the couple’s comments, if

Oh, calm down people typing ‘TYPICAL STEALERSHIP’ into the comments already... I see you. Stop it.

Shitty tech doing shitty tech things

Crack Pipe for misleading ad. He’s really asking $28,999.

Hey, no snark - whatever you may think of this man, his intentions are good. Please help if you can.

Brilliant video — this DeMuro guy could fit right in here at Jalopnik!

......... I think we’re all perfectly capable of reading what he wrote on autotrader like I did earlier, I believe the saying for this is “get your own material”.

Need for Speed taught me all about these beauties, and I’m pretty sure Nicolas Cage is pointing at a 550 when doing his “self-indulgent weiners” line in Gone in 60 Seconds. That line is pretty ironic now, considering that any 550 you’d see out and about is probably owned by a connoisseur and not a new-money whatever.

Sounds a tiny bit like insurance fraud.

Those window intakes are rad af

What exactly does Trump have to do with some shitty dealership treating their employees poorly?
