Default Test Drive

Ever felt bad for giving a car a little "work over" during a test drive?
Pushing it a little hard to see what it was capable of?

Well, this guy pushed things a little too far...

I'll bet the salesman who authorized that demo is looking for a new gig.

My favorite line is "readily repairable" -

Thank goodness for the "salvage title" or some day some poor goober might actually be thinking they are great deal on a low mileage C6.
