I saw this the other day, sure someone got fired for that.
Why would anyone give the keys to a kid and allow him to start the car in the showroom, and then rev it. Something bad was bound to happen.

That is nuts. I can't imagine seeing it from the street. I would have died laughing.

Maybe the tester was ? But we definitely know the dealer was

that happen in Johnson City, TN, the pic was posted on Honda-Tech a couple days ago.. I work at a dealership while im in school and nobody is allowed to get the keys to a car on the floor unless your a worker, what an idiot to even let someone start a car on the floor...but anyways, it makes for a hilarious picture.

Today a sat in an RX8 on the showroom flool of the Mazda dealer. The keys were in the change bin thingy. I was tempted to start the car, but remembered the pics of the Evo vs Pole.

You don't need to put the car in gear to rev it up, what a dumb ass.
