Title: Accord test drive becomes joy ride
Post by: striktlyaccord on October 18, 2009, 10:15:23 PM
Did anyone catch the story on MA/RI local news channels yesterday? Apparently a guy went to a car dealership in MA and used his ID to take an Accord out for a test drive. However, he took it for a joy ride and went all the way to Wisconsin! The police eventually caught him because he got pulled over doing 120mph. The dealership owner made a comment on the news saying "I can see someone doing this with a Ferrari, but it was a Honda Accord!" Too funny.

Didn't see the story on the news, but I know a guy that did that with an Accord. He didn't go all the way to Wisconson, but he was chased through the state of MA.

Hey the guy just wanted to get to "actual" fuel economy before he made the purchase

I'll buy that Rich. Real world testing. Why arrest the guy for that?
