"The car has not arrived at the dealership yet, per Bluesummers—they merely posted the expected VIN in texts. She says she was told by the General Manager that the truck with her Civic Type R on it had been by the dealership, but did not release the Civic Type R off the truck."

Why do I have a mental image of the transport truck slowing down on Loop 323 to turn into the dealership while the GM is standing out in the ditch angrily motioning for the truck to keep on driving down the road instead of stopping? :D

Wow, what the hell.

Honestly, I can understand the dealerships wanting to have the car to draw in customers...but at least be transparent about it upfront. If they can legally go through with this, they should at least give her some compensation.

Glad she got her car and hopefully there was some additional compensation in the form of accessories or extra detail work included to smooth things over.

The GM just called me and we had a long talk. Alma is picking up her Type R now. Following that conversation, I have no doubt this was a learning experience for all involved and the effects will be long-lasting. They even attracted the attention of Anonymous.

Since this was likely the owner of the dealerships doing there will likely be no repercussions for anyone involved.

not to pry, but who are you that you can have a long conversation with this GM? and how is it the people who knew these people didn't put pressure on them until the social media storm?
