Default Drove a 2003 S2K today

Me and my dad were at the beach and we decided to go kill some time so we went to go test drive a 2003 S2000. Get this though- my dad launched it at 6500 rpm and blew the tried away then shifted into second and blew the tires away again THEN shifted into thired and they squeled around for a second then we took off. Has anyone else ever done this?

Translation:

My father and I were at the beach and decided to kill some time, so we went to a local Honda dealership and test drove a 2003 S2000. Please try to comprehend the following though, my father dropped the clutch at 6500 RPM and blew the tread away from the tire. He then shifted into second gear and blew the tires away again. Then he shifted into third gear and the tires squeeled for a second, until we finally took off. Has anyone ever done this to a brand new, probably not properly broken in S2000 before?

Sounds abusive and immature. How's life with a careless father?

no offence man, but that is bullshit. i would be pissed off if the person that test drove my car did that before i bought it, and if you blew the tread away, and the tires, then how would the tires squeel in third?

no pun intended

How are these non-owners getting "owner" status?

So what's the point of this story?
