A friend is driving me to pick up my car. I said to him, watch we'll get there and see someone doing something in my car they shouldn't. Sure enough as we are getting off the freeway. There's my car leaving the local gas station tire spinning, and screeking (did I spell right). Anyway I'm pissed, the more I thought about it the worse it got. I spoke to the fleet manager and told him what I saw. He had the "lot boy" say he was sorry but he did not mean it. I don't want him fired, that did'nt and will not hurt the car, however it mine to do that with. If wants to do it tell him to drop his own thirty grand and he can do it all he want.

I'd ask him for HIS keys and give his junker a workout! Probably couldn't break the tires loose on his junker, but I'd leave him a quart low on oil !
oh wait naners for you !
Congradulations - send pics soon !.
PS: You car is very close to mine - but yours is real !

How incredibly irritating! :bang:
Sounds like you kept your temper amazingly well... certainly better than I would have.
Unfortunately we live in a screwed up world. A friend who was a bus boy several years ago in one of the city's most prestigious steak houses said that anytime a patron sent a steak back because they didn't like the way it was cooked, the tradition was that a steak was prepared to the customer's liking- and then everyone in the kitchen spit on it before sending it back! :shock:
Employees can be absolute donkey donuts and it sounds like the lot-jockey is a perfect case in point. (sigh)
Sorry you new baby got abused,

The station was across the street for me too. Even better, the saleman gave me a slip to fill up. So there was no lot boy to drive my car around. I got it wth 10 miles to empty.

Why was he even in your car? The sales guy at the dealership followed me to the closest gas station. I filled up the car and he payed for it. It wasn't even at my request, they just know that with a car like this the owner doesn't want joe shmoe driving around in it.

I hear that John... My sales guy was the fleet manager, and he took it off the truck, he stood there while they PDI'd it, and then he drove it to the south forty of the lot. Took the keys home with him cuz he knew I couldnt pick it up til the next day. When I got there, he walked me to the very back where it sat, I drove it to the front, had my test drive, filled it up, and sat in it til the paperwork was done. He and I were the only ones to get behind the wheel of her once she hit the lot.

I'm afraid I wouldn't have been as forgiving as you were. How old was the lot boy? I assume 18 and stupid. That should have been worth some "renegotiation." I applaud your class and restraint!

different year car, but a friend of mine dropped his new 04 Cobra at a dealer for minor fix of his console. The service center took the Cobra for a little spin around the block. They wrapped the Cobra around a street light and had to call the dealer to bring a truck and bring its pieces back..........

As usual, it sounds like "lot boy" got off with a "TIME OUT" type of punishment that is so common nowadays... "Now say your sorry Jimmy"
Ugh. Makes me sick.
Should have been fired immediately.
And I would have been much more angry than you, but I am probably older and more crotchety. lol

Mine had 1.9 miles on it when I first saw it before the PDI, and 9 miles on it when I got it. I trust my salesman was okay with the car when he filled it with gas, but I don't think I want to know what happened during the PDI.
Whatever they did, the car seems to have survived it fine.

I'll let you know how it turns out.
