I come back and see the guys revving my car in the parking lot taking videos with their cell phones... one of them says they took it out for a spin while I was making conversation with them, and when I asked why and if they drove it hard they said "No, just to test for leaks and rattles". Had a DVR in my car and when I went back home to check, the guys revved it a while and had floored it down the road. They put that S-mode crap on so when they downshifted into 2nd to slow down for a turn it rev matched and sounded like it was close to redline again -_-
take it back and talk to the manager of the place and show him proof with the video. i'd flip shit lol and do what i could to get em fired -_-
