Very entertaining for a slow Saturday morning! He could have added sand to the oil to polish everything else at the same time!

Even Audi forums.

This one is right up there with the buying the car someone died in, or the soon to be ex-wife selling hubby's Ferrari for $100.

I really wonder however, if I would be the guy watching this go down, if I would stop the fools before hand, or sit just sit back and watch the fun? That would be really tempting, but I hope I'm a better person than that.

has to be a troll. At a race track in Ohio, I watched them drain the oil out of a car, then start it. Whoever guessed the time closest to run time won a prize. it ran 11 minutes before siezing

It's a joke. Read post #78 from that thread for an older post with the same text on a different site.

Maybe the douche with the Audi was a troll, but the Mustang one somewhat checks out if you check this guy's history.

Yes, there really are people THAT STUPID! I saw the results of a failed attempt at changing a flat. A girl took an old bumper jack and after much struggling, managed to jack the rear PLASTIC bumper cover of a Firebird all the way up over the tail light on the driver side!

I worked as a Service Adviser at a dealer. I got a call one day from a young lady. She said she was at the mall and when she came out to her new truck it had a big dent in it. She wanted to know if she could come exchange it for one without a dent. She had the "bumper to bumper" warranty so it should be covered.
