This has been here before, but still can't believe the dealership didn't press charges - that guy was an idiot. Only way I wouldn't have sued him would be if he bought the car after the wreck.

I can't believe they would let someone test drive a Corvette without a salesman in the car?

No, he didn't walk away un-injured, he has brain damage for sure... but I think he had it prior to taking the test drive.. With that tape, he should of been held responsible... What gives, you have the evidence in hand, and you let him walk? I bet he was the dealers son or a friend of the dealer... go figure...
