Bunch of whiny little prissys.

NO, not an over reaction. A measured response to the way the business owner treated a customer's car.
It doesn't matter if it was a couple of revs or some other mistreatment. It was not his car. He should treat it and his customer with respect.
I have had personal experience with a$$hats that have cost me time and money because of similar "I don't give a crap, it's not mine" attitudes. For example:
I had taken my car in for service. After I picked it up I noticed it didn't run as good. A week later I pulled the plugs and three where fouled badly. I also noticed it was down on oil. I kept records and found that it was now using/burning a lot of oil. Every time I'd put my foot into it there were puffs of blue smoke. I took it back to have this problem looked into. I was told that the motor was about gone and I'd have to pay for an engine rebuild. The car was under warranty so I tried to get GM to cover it. While I waited a couple of days for the GM service rep to make a decision I heard a story. It appears that mechanics at a GM dealer were using customer's cars for running around and would drag race one another. One of the cars fit the description of my car. The story placed this around the time I had my car in for that first service. It turned out that my engine problem was caused by one of those mechanics missing a shift while racing my car. It had nothing to do with me. There was an investigation and GM came good for the engine which was done at another dealership. Oh and that first dealer ended up losing their GM franchise.
I stand up for my rights and I encourage others to do the same.
