    Uh, no. Read that thread (the one I posted about my wreck) again. A taxi slammed into a (stopped) Grand Cherokee, who then slammed into me (stopped).

    I was referring to the stupid that work at dealerships/service shops and beat on cars because they "can"

    Come on now....I work at a service center (Huffines to be exact) and we would never just go beat on a car cause we can....lol Sure we "can" but most people just aren't able. But there have been a few times I've hit the gas just to see what it had. :) Just cause you can hit the gas doesn't mean you can drive a car! - Wes -

    My old boss's Vette went to the dealer for brakes. When he went to pick it up, they were bringing it in on a rollback. Seems it hit a tree sideways. Dealer fixed the car and the only explanation they ever offered was the mechanic was testing the brakes. He later found out they were on a oil road going in excess of the posted speed limit when his baby left the road.

    Looks like the dealer did the right thing, and the guy will be getting a new ride.

    Werd. Since they don't make RSXs any longer, I think the Acura dealer needs to hook Adam up with the Honda/Acura of his choice.
