This isnt a race post but i literally fell off my chair laughing after seeing this post from a friend. Enjoy

Someone who was interested in the Evo8 decides to start up the engine to see how it sounds, revs it but accidentally dumping the clutch..

the aftermath...Good thing no one got hurt

Exclamation Youth Crashes New EVO thru Dealer Showroom!

Well all I can say is...........
On letting kids get in a Sports Car (probably any for that matter) and fire it up in the Showroom! (they're not too damn smart either)

He even scuffed the Red EVO on his way through the Glass!

They do carry insurance, but I doubt it covers negligence. Oh well, serves the dealer right for letting someone start up and rev a car in the showroom floor.

Default EVO Crash

That salesperson, probably lost their job for that too. At my wife's dealership there is a standing policy that the keys are to NEVER leave the sales person's hand...it is too easy for a scammer to do a switcheroo with the keys and before you know it you have a big problem, and you don't want someone driving a car off the rotating platform.
