Ah yes, you're the ******* that said you'd take one for a rip in a thread the other day. Then everyone got annoyed at you for doing that stuff to brand new cars and you couldn't understand why. One user summed it up: "What dealer are you at? Remind me to never buy a car from there" (not a direct quote I'm too lazy to look it up)

Nothing like taking someone's brand new $30,000 car-to-be, and doing everything the manual says NOT to do for ~ the first 1000 kilometers. "In the red almost", "hammer home second", "nice to hear under hard acceleration". That's just swell. In case you haven't read it, for roughly the first 800km it mentions to A) Not accelerated hard (particularly full throttle starts) B) Break hard C) avoid engine breaking.

Even more genius is you put the dealer name in a pic - Wood Wheaton Chevrolet Cadillac HUMMER in Prince George, BC. Luckily Prince George is a tiny interior town so most people won't have to worry about utilizing their warranty for excessive wear and oil burning.

Fine I'll edit this - the above only applies if this dude works for the dealer. If he's a regular customer then disregard the above. Better?
