Hahaha.
Well I was thinking they'd give him an apologetic/loaner car while his/her's was sent back to Sweden for repairs. I'm sure there had to have been some sort of peace offering there.

what i want to know is, does anyone know which dealership in New York this was? Manhattan Motorcars?


It wasn't Manhattan Motorcars. It's the only Koenigsegg franchise in the eastern US: Universal Autosports in Glen Cove, Long Island.


Universal Autosports

Universal Autosports
They have another in their inventory that looks like it hasnt been test driven by the same guy.
Gotta wonder how much, if at all, it hurt the dealership after that stunt.
I'm thinking they probably improved their screening process for new-hires after that last guy.
