Do you think that was the only corvette ever left there? trust me he has done it to real corvette owners before. Hauling lumber come on . he's use to treating customers rides like crap.

I think the point is that this piece of sh.t drives customer cars not just that corvette. If he drove my SUV while away it would be no less of a violation. He ahould be charged with auto theft.

True, but the discussion is about this Corvette left there as a setup, " If you're stupid enough to leave your baby at a place like that,....you deserve it " has nothing to do with what the TV station was trying to prove, and I'm sure this is not the only lot owner who does this. It is probably happening all over the country. This a$$hole is just one that was caught, and I'm sure there are other expensive exotic cars left in these lots also.

I'll be leaving the Corvette home and taking my good old, faded '87 S-10 truck for them to race with. I love that old truck and wouldn't want them driving it either. Good idea to jot down the mileage on any car when leaving it any where, even at a dealership.

I bet he will get some maggot lawyer who will point out that there was no contractual stipulation stating that he cant drive the cars left in his possession.
OR something like that..........

Even dealers do that crap. I had a turbocharged Avalanche that I brought into the dealer for catalytic converter replacement. I always snap a pic of my mileage on drop off. They put 30 miles on my truck and gave it back with broken pistons. They flipped the high boost switch and didn't turn on the methanol injection. They actually tried to pass it off on me. Idle was rough and it was smoking. They didn't even want to pay for a new motor. It was the Chevy dealer in Mission Valley California. I finally agreed to paying the labor. I was getting out of the military and they had me over a barrel.
Moral of the story. Record your mileage AND tell them you recorded the mileage. Keep them honest.

I had a guy let some girl rev the **** out of my G35 Coupe that I had parked in a lot years ago. I only saw it because I had to double back. I don't trust anyone with anything I care about anymore. I'll valet my RX350 all day long, but nothing I have an emotional investment in.

Jerk. I'm in awe that he thought the owner would not notice the mileage.
