Huh. Weirdly familiar.

So Tcoat, if you already knew it was the owner who disrespected you, what would you say to him when you confronted him about it? What would you hope to accomplish? What could he say at that point that would change your intention with regard to a review?

For crying out loud people it is just a car. A few minutes idling and a couple of revs isn't going to hurt it. Some of these responses are just plain stupid.
Were those responses in your imagination?
