Hey /o/, Reddit is sperging out over a video that has surfaced from a dealership that took one of their new unsold Honda Type Rs for a "joy ride"
In true Reddit fashion, these are stupid ass liberals that somehow equate "revving high" with engine damage even though the video shows nothing incriminating at all.
Here is the streamable link, tell me your opinions:

Is it their car? No. Then they shouldn't be taking it out for joy rides.
1. Break in period is a thing
2. Revving high while cold is bad

Actually if it was unsold then it WAS their car at the time of the joy ride.

>Chantilly
Fucking NoVA fags ruin everything

Find me a techincal manual from a car sold by a major manufacturer that does not include a mention of a break in period. Protip: you can't

Show me the new Type R Honda one where it has it
>Caring about red.dit
>Nice blog m8
>Fuck off now
How would you even know about this if you weren't visiting them?
>>17391315
Why were you on reddit?

Isn't Honda's entire deal that they perform best when revved high? What's the actual issue here?
>>17393642
Ledditors are like a bunch of senile boomer age women only they're 17. Literally nothing to see here.
>>17393623
This.
Normalfag leave reeeeee
wait a second.... is the engine in that car literally a boosted k20? It sure behaves like one
Anybody that really is offended by the video is a fucking faggot. Any new sports car can be test driven "hard". Literally just bring a friend or two with you and the salesman won't join you on a cruise and you redline/launch at a highway entrance.
>m-m-muh engine break in period
He's not tracking it, literally doesn't matter. The spergs that will buy it will damage it more with their missed shifts.

>>17393667
Don't the the engine hard during break in or when cold, ya dipshits.
>>17393680
different engine family.
Do any of you niggers actually think that the car got damaged in any way, shape or form by what the guy did in that short video?

I have recently purchased a Lexus CT200H and a Ford Transit 250. Neither had any mention of a break in period in the owner's manual.
>>17391315
Why are you posting this here?
Fuck off.
>>17394021
they love shit like this, they will go to the end of the earth to ensure he is fired now.

It's Honda's car that is lent to a dealership until it sells
>>17394222
Mustang GT has it, but that's a real engine, so maybe that's that.
who the fuck cares
they could be breaking in the engine for the next owner for all you fucking know
>>17395847
That's not how you properly break in an engine anon
People are only excusing this behavior because it's from reddit. I wouldn't want some sleezeball using my shit like this if I'm about to buy it
>>17391351
>Break in period is a thing
No it's not.
Faggot.
>>17395835
what did he mean by this
>>17395835
It isn't, the dealership takes responsibility, Honda isn't just going to send them a brand new one for free if they damage one while joyriding
I don't see what the big deal is. He didn't rag it, and he didn't hit the redline. Maybe revved it a little hard for a brand new car, but that is not a massive issue in this day and age.
Big fuss over nothing, typical of that fucking place

Cool your tits, Watanabe. It's just a Honda.

Learn how the dealership system works. The dealership is a separate entity. Car manufactures are not allowed to sell their cars directly (only Tesla is at the moment)
This is why things like this or typical dealership shit happens. If Honda was in direct charge of those employees they wouldn't have a job right now.

No...dealerships buy cars then sell them stooopiddd

Do you have even the slightest idea how retail works?
