    @The Red Comet: How can you say that? The scratch is clearly visible, and I'll see it every time I use the car. Just look, will you. Right there - it's a half inch long, and three thousandths of an inch deep, right below the drivers door lock. Someone has to pay for this. #koenigsegg

    My worst wreck ever was a mere 85' Bertone 780. A wreck which reduced me to literal tears, and it was my fucking car. I can't begin to imagine what it would feel like to do this to this car, let alone this care which belongs to someone else.

    and that someone can afford this ride, he can easily afford a contract killer. #koenigsegg

    @lilwillie: Sorry changed my original comment, went another direction. But yeah you are right about that, except if it was unauthorized use not sure if the dealers insurance will cover it.

    @Peugeot--Now With 20 Followers: If the owner dropped it off for service, or it was there for pick up for some reason normally a proper estimate or repair order is filled out. In that, you make sure the fine print states you can drive the customers car for any purpose that has to do with its repair or its being there. At least in Wisconsin, once a estimate is signed, I can freely drive the car all I want without telling the customer. Since the estimate is signed a "Mechanics Lien" is on the car and it is technically mine while fixing it. Meaning I am responsible for whatever happens to it.

    If that is signed, and the tech/dealer/salesmen has a accident my insurance is covering it. Even "at fault" accidents.

    Now, if they where hooning it and being negligent, then the insurance company can or may tell me to pound sand.

    I get to drive some very, very nice cars at my shop and you make sure the customer knows what you are intending to do with the car.

    It is nerve racking some times.

    @lilwillie: I know it is dangerous, but I think we can assume from the damage and the fact that the Porsche was nearby that the dealer was not driving it for purposes of repairs.

    If this is the case then the mechanic's lien is voided because the dealer (or agent of the dealer) has now converted the property or in legal terms the chattel. Any unauthorized use of property would be considered a conversion, in this case racing the car. This sets the dealer up for the civil version of theft, which is obviously not going to be covered by the insurance company. Even if the car had not been totaled but the owner found the dealer/mechanic/whoever racing it, the owner could still bring suit. #koenigsegg

    @Peugeot--Now With 20 Followers: Good law speak.

    I wish the story had more details. Because it wasnear a Porsche the ass-umption that they are racing when it happens is pretty likely. I don't believe in coincidences.

    Maybe, just maybe the Porsche was nearby to snicker at the driver after he lost it on a test drive.

    Maybe

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Ah, but poaching from the purchaser's purse is quite permissable, nay probable. Unless the potential for prolific profit is possible from another procedure.

    Perhaps there is a place in the policy that empowers the purchaser to protect his purse? It would be prudent to pry (and possibly pray) for such a provision on the part of the purchaser.

    The purveyor of the product now perished, however, has pitiful potential for anything save penitence. #koenigsegg

    Hey, the sounds at the beginning --and the dark weird scenery--made me think that this is a kind of hell, and one I could learn to love.


    But then I found myself wondering if one of these things was going to climb up on a Crown Vic. Backwards. And shake its ass in a cop's face.

    No?

    Yawn.
