I think he was imitating Ferris Bueller's scene, I hope he gets penalized severely.

No kidding, the whole of Toronto should avoid him.:)

I pick up and drop off customers cars all the time and always very careful driving them. This guy is a total tool and should be blasted all over the web.

If your going to be a crook and a hack looks like Toronto is the place to be. WOW the authorities dont give a shiznit. And Hmm if the guy had a feeling Why didnt he get with the star and send a car that was not his over there? Then rigged with camera and everything like some states do to catch bad mech shops and inspection stations.

I just had a customers 2011 Cadillac CTS-V last weekend. I picked his car up and drivr it to my garage to work on it and returned it to him the next Monday. He told me to give it hell, but even with his blessing I drive it like a grandma, because I don't how I would replace it easily if something ever happened due to hot rodding it. This detailer obviously doesn't have any respect for his customers.

So what was it like to drive? Did you atleast "hit it" once?

I also offer a pick up and drop off service - however no joyrides. That's wrong on just about every level!!

Thats not the same you were asked to give it a Italian tune up,, you didnt take it joyriding or more than likely drug running.
