hehe.. no engine will last forever.. and remeber shes talking about potential engine damage not actuall damage as the engine is still running fine.
 Dealership is refusing to pay because there is no evident damage to the car. If there was a problem their techs could replicate then they would have to fix it.
 Its not reccomended to redline new cars and Ford techs should know how to treat a car. Guy who raped that car is unconsiderate punk, who i hope ends up in jail and gets raped like he raped that car.


anyways shes just trying to score some coin out of the situation, and i would too. There are so many brand new cars that get raped soon as they leave the factory floor and noone finds out, and they run fine for years. This is kind of thing happens every day in hundreds of dealerships across the US, and  rare that anyone gets caught (this guy was really retarded, braggin and posting cars license plate).

It's idiots like that dipwad that make people not trust any mechanic.  My dad was a mechanic for about 45 years, my brother's been one for 30+.  The family auto shop put me through college and it was our, and now my brother's, sole income.  It's a little shop, four bays and three full-time mechanics, in a small town.  They get their business by being responsible, charging a fair price, and doing a good job.

Shitheads like that "stangman" just make people think every mechanic is a ripoff artist and they aren't.  Most of 'em are professional and responsible.

And fortunately, I drive such a beat-to-hell truck that you won't catch a tech burning rubber in it.  Now, moving some furniture or hauling some mulch on his lunch hour, maybe...
