Now that's some kind of test drive. It looks like he failed the evasive maneuver test. However the antilock braking worked. Can't see if the air bags deployed tho. Wonder what the mark down price for that car is?
Gives a new meaning to driven off the showroom floor.

They let you start the engine and rev it up in a show room?

What kind of an idiot dealer would allow a showroom car to be fired up in-house??? Not that the kid isn't a moron for doing that, but the dealer put the keys in his hand...WTF????

Looks like the black one hit the red one, too. That's a shame.

I wonder if "you break it, you bought it" applies here.

the fact that so many things had to go wrong for that to happen is just unbearable ... I'm

the ironic part is that stoplight probably prevented a HUGE accident.

The website that is hosting the pics is blocked here at work, so I can't see what happened.

Not too sure if a dealer would let someone start a car in a dealership though. Here, the dealer takes the car out of the lot and then lets you drive after a block or two. Either way, someone FAWKED UP BIG TIME!!!!!

That is too funny sounds like we need to have a couple of folks removed from the gene pool. :P

I was kind of wondering if it was a fail theft attempt . . . ??

I guess the dealership will be collecting quite a bit of insurance money..
