Damn that sucks. But those guys are idiots. They saw the dash cam but still decided to joy ride.

Certainly sucks to have a stranger drive like that in your car
suppose to drive customers cars better then their car (suppose to any way) My neighbor, brother and dad ALL did burnouts separately, likely above 6k rpm before breakin just to get me aggravated AND laugh SMH but I know them it's different it's ok Stranger different story, I would have the urge to pull his arms out of his shoulder sockets... Just (urge) lol |

$500'ish with the back cam, already got pulled over 2 times in 2 weeks, no front plate AND speeding (barely over limit) nice to have video if I need to take a ticket off, I have several cars/trucks so a couple points costs me over $2k in additional insurance costs for year(s) Both times no ticket no warnings 🙌 |

I also got a cell link Neo so it can record for about a week without being started, since I only drive occasionally. |

Just my opinion and not a judgement of anyone's disgust. I was expecting so much worse. Joe Achilles drove more aggressively than this with a borrowed M2C that was only 150 miles into its break-in.
I understand why it's disgusting. I just don't think this deserved anything more than a reprimand of the driver and a robust customer discount. A scandal, this hardly is. But it's Canada, different culture, what the heck do I know. |

I wouldn't call that joy riding. He took the car out for a short test drive after installing the tires. He stopped at every intersection and took every corner carefully.
He is only guilty of is being excited about driving a cool car. Last edited by omasou; 05-17-2019 at 06:19 PM.. |

This is the issue with bringing an M car to a Canadian Tire. They work on garbage cars all day everyday and someone dropping off an M2 is a gift from heaven as they never get to drive nice cars. I'm still stunned someone took an M2 to Canadian Tire. For you americans that aren't familiar, Canadian Tire is like five levels below a Walmart service center and last resort for people that either have no money or no other options. Not excusing the driver that got fired because he's an idiot but so is the owner as everyone should know you don't take nice cars to a Canadian Tire service center.

It was a joy ride, albeit short. Cars do not need to be test driven after having tires installed. He also revved the car right after cold start. Yeah he didn't go nuts on the car, but he shouldn't have been behind the wheel and on the street with it to begin with.

Lets get in the real world here. That was pretty much a normal drive accept for some speed. he stopped at all signs and even used his signal. He wasn't doing burnouts, launch control, drifting the car, etc., that would be a joyride. He didn't even rev it up that much. When I had my shop and installed tires or did an alignment (especially brakes), all cars were test driven (mandatory) at least two miles, (even more if we did brakes) and you need to get some speed to verify balance no matter what the machine says. This is just an intolerant owner. Hell the BMW dealers by me do even longer test drives when they do an oil change to get an oil read and reset the TPMS. This was unfair punishment of the tech by a weak ass shop manager with no customer skills but to tuck tail.

I didn't think the driving was that aggressive but speeding is where I have a problem. What did it say in the article, 112 km/h in a 40? That's not good and then it can turn into a mess for the owner if there's a speed camera involved (assuming they are in the province where this happened).
Bottom line is if it's not your car, don't drive like an asshat. |

I'm not sure how full of shit they were, I just left and went some place else. But I guess most people will just shrug it off and give in most of the time? |

When I had my WRX, I explicitly told the service manager I did not want my car going anywhere except in the bay, and then back to me. About an hour later I saw it doing launch pulls on the road behind the shop. And all they did when I complained was offer me a free oil change. |
