forums.corvetteforum.com — A Corvette owner took his Corvette in for a minor warranty repair. A dealership employee took the car for a joyride and caused 15k in damage to the car. It gets better when little orange bottles are found under the seat...

GM is the only company on the FORTUNE 100 list which shows a loss (10.6 billion dollars).<a class="user" href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/snapshots/563.html">http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/snapshots/563.html</a>Obviously, they're doing something wrong. Personally, I would never spend my money on an American car. Especially an American "luxury" or "sports" car. Yikes. That's an oxymoron these days.

It does not matter if you told, unless dealership is claiming theft, it was entirely in thier control. If someoen else caused accident, the dealership should sue to recover, no way in hell you bring a car to a dealer can the dealer hand you back a totalled car and say "not our fault"If you think that your a retard.

You should have a video camera ready for any future stunts they might perform. Collect a bunch and then try to get in contact with the owners. Get their responses and then post the story/video/pics on the web. I'd digg it.

WOW....$50.000 for a toy? ... lifelong dream to have this car?Did you ever heard about savings account...Only here in the USA, people are willing to go into the f**kING DEBT UP TO THERE EYEBALLS to get the f**king s**t they don't need!!!Pardon me on my "French".Here is something interesting to read written by Paul Bannister: * Some 1.6 million U.S. households -- one of every 73 -- filed for bankruptcy in 2003. * There are roughly 1.2 billion credit cards in use in the United States. * The original Diners Club card was issued in 1950 to let businessmen charge meals. It was pasteboard with a list of the 27 restaurants that accepted it printed on the back. The first plastic card came out in 1955. Today, there are about 20,000 different cards available in the U.S. * Studies show the average consumer is exposed to more than 3,000 marketing messages every day. In the last decade, it's been estimated, solicitations jumped from 1.52 billion annually to 4.29 billion. * Today roughly 24 percent of personal expenditures in this country are made with credit and debit cards. * Average per household debt in the U.S., not counting mortgage debt, is about $14,500 -- especially noteworthy because before the 1930s, most middle and working class people had no major debts. Banks would not lend to them; they rented their homes and if they did own a house, it was paid for as it was being built. * A typical credit card purchase ends up costing 112 percent more than if cash were used. * A $1,000 charge on an average credit card will take almost 22 years to pay, and will cost more than $2,300 in interest ($3,300 total) -- if only 2 percent minimum payments are made. * Some 40 percent of American families annually spend more than they earn. * About 60 percent of active credit card accounts are not paid off monthly. * Average credit card debt among all American households is $8,400. * Average card debt among people who have at least one card is $9,205 -- triple what it was in 1990. * Average personal wealth of a 50-year-old American, including home equity: less than $40,000. * A typical American family today pays about $1,200 annually in credit card interest. * The average interest rate on credit cards is 18.9 percent. * Last year the credit card industry took in $43 billion in card fees. * Nine of 10 Americans claim credit card debt has never been a source of worry. * But 47 percent would refuse to tell a friend how much they owe. * Twenty-three percent of Americans admit to maxing out a credit card. * Eleven percent of Americans admit card debts went to collection. * Thirteen percent of Americans have been 30 days late paying credit card bills in the past year. * The average graduate student has six credit cards and one in seven owes more than $15,000. * People using credit cards in fast food restaurants spend up to 50 percent more than when they pay cash. * The personal savings rate in the United States has dropped from 8 percent in the 1980s to just under 2 percent since 2000. * Medical debts sink the ship in one of every 20 bankruptcies. Typical health care debt: $25,000. Typical victim: a senior on a fixed income. Typical scenario: pricey prescriptions bought on high-interest credit cards.Still thinking to get credit and sink $50.000 for a car?

You're a f**king douchebag to be telling people what the real value of something is, just because his life long goals don't match yours. Those credit card stats. mean jack s**t to me. I've got a no credit card debt, a $35k european sports car, and have plenty in my savings account. Looks like you missed the whole point of this article. Instead of focusing on how this dude got worked over by the dealer you make him the poster boy of all that's wrong with this country because of credit card debt. Where's the f**king logic??

So what's up with the original post that started this mess and its latest contents...edited four days later? Plus the thread was closed. Sounds like a little hanky panky going on if you ask me...use Digg and a local forum to get a new car and then quickly 'wash' it away. Anybody whose followed this thread from the very beginning will understand what I'm talking about...
