What's your point? That dealership personnel are idiots? All model cars are toughest when they are brand new. Just because abusive dealership people can get away with this, doesn't mean they aren't hurting the cars in the long run.

That is exactly why when I buy a high performance vehicle, it is to be taken off the truck in my presence, and I am to be the only driver of it. I too worked at a couple of dealers, and we did the same crap. I had a Mustang going 80 in third gear after power sliding it around a corner on dry pavement... with 8 miles on it. I know all too well what yahoos at dealers do to the cars.
You are probably right about the lack of damage on a new engine, but I still don't like paying for something and having some thoughtless punk beat the heck out of it before I get it. I once was that thoughtless punk... LOL!!
