Apparently he did not read the part in the manual where it said to test out the car in a parking lot and use cones so that you can become familiar with the ergos of the car. Then, he could hit the road (which he did), confidently. Hope he signed up for insurance before the joy ride. :roflblack::roflblack:

Reminds me of the Wisconsin neighbor who on the test ride home from the body shop, ran her Corvette up a tree. Yup! Back to the body shop again. :roflblack::roflblack:

Yikes...!!

Sure hope he added it to his ins policy before leaving the lot,..:yikes:

If he already had insurance, he had 30 days on the new ride.

I can actually understand what he may be going through. My first Ford GT only made it 11 days......

State Farm was great getting me into another one in less than 30 days though. Will never forget that.

Hi Bob,

Re: May it rest in pieces...

In 1956, Ozzie bought Ricky Nelson a brand new '56 Porsche. Ricky jumped in with a buddy & totaled it about three blocks later. Ozzie bought Ricky another one.

I have one a little less flattering...



The car did an amazing job of protecting me though. As I said, I had another one less than 30 days later that I kept for a number of years.

Now, that's gonna take more than little bodywork than normal...........
