I work at a car auction down here, new and used cars...more than two thousand cars come and go from here every week. If you really knew what happened to your car before you had it. You would start buying them as they came off the train..... and even then you never knew who drove it on the train..... lol

bandit390 is right. This happens ALOT more than what you guys think. It even happens in this industry.
However, we get these same types of complaints from the sportbike guys and while they fall in the same category as high dollar car owners, they come in with a problem of running poor at over 90mph.......but raise hell when they hear that your mechanic had it on the freeway at just over 100mph. Cry babies. I have had plenty of Mustangs and they are meant to be driven hard. If they don't want their car being "abused" by driving that fast........they should have bought a V6 model My .02 |

I work at an auto plant and every car we build comes off the line and straight to the dyno and from there to the test track with bumps and curves. Don't think for a minute that your sweet new car has been pampered since new. They don't cut them any slack cause if something is wrong they will probably catch it.

Well,
Knowsalot, ABOUT YOUR CAR. I dont agree. Its not your car to drive hard, its not Your quad to Ride hard. I guess I will not be bringing any bikes to Knowsalots shop. What goes from a simple weld jobs turn into a high speed stress test, "just to make sure the weld is good" I cant believe that you would advocate doing this to someones property. But if you do, you may end up like this guy, FIRED.... In case you didnt read the whole thread through. RoostkIng... |

Heheheh.....reminds me of one of my old war stories.
Back in my college days, somewhere in some city in the deep south, a buddy of mine and I spotted a Pontiac Firebird Formula on a dealer's lot just begging for a test drive. Closer inspectrion revealed that it contained the very potent combination of a 5.7 liter V8 and a six speed transmission. Mmmmmm.... The car was a recent trade in, but it was still within its model year. We just had to try her out. A few minutes talking to the salesman got us the keys and a few minutes of pure joy. Somewhere on an open country road, that little ol' Firebird reached more than 140mph under my foot and then more than 150mph under my friend's foot. We tested the braking (very good, by the way) and acceleration (even better than the braking). It was hard to get an accurate 0-60 time because the rear wheels seemed to get to 60 mph a good bit before the rest of the car did. When we drove the car back, we sneaked it onto the lot and left before the salesman could return. We didn't really want to explain why the brakes were smoking and why the aroma of burnt clutch filled the air. I'm sure he fully understood though when he returned to get his keys. Yes, it was good fun, and the only time I ever pulled that one....uh, well I forgot about the Porsche - but that's another story. It's one thing though, to be a potential customer test driving a car, ATV, or other means of motorized transportation and quite another to be a dealer or mechanic that takes advantage of their customers. I don't mind so much the knowledge that the car (or ATV) was driven hard BEFORE it was purchased, but after the sale when it actually belongs to someone, that's quite inconsiderate. Remember the scene in the movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" when the parking valets take the vintage Ferrari for a little spin? Right or wrong, there's that little part of us that always wants to push the envelope with someone else's rocket. Blame it on testosterone. |
