I think warning people about this dealership is enough. We don't have to go around trolling this dude. He screwed up and I think he got the point.

I wholeheartedly disagree. These videos needed to be reported to Honda to help ensure two things: 1) The drivers are held personally accountable for their actions and 2) Honda takes the necessary steps to help ensure these cases of abuse don't happen.

I bet you'd be singing a different tune if that was your Type R you saw him abusing.

Am I the only one who was triggered by the way he handles the gearbox lol.

I feel bad for the person who ends up buying this car. Imagine paying that amount of money and finding out its been trashed, makes me so mad.

I agree with Zroger and fiend busa,

in the short term the car will likely be more than fine, but who knows what will happen to the car when its out of warranty 2-5 year from now, for all we know the gearbox will consume itself or engine will punch a hole in the block.

The point being is, its not ok to drive property you do not own in such a manner, I know if I was buying a type R and found this out after the fact i'd do my best to either A. return it B. renegotiate the sales price by a good %

quiet frankly for a lot of us enthusiasts its not ok to drive any car like that, he was power shifting it like its a dog-box sequential, you could achieve the same acceleration he got but way more gracefully and less stress on the drivetrain, he ham fisted it like some old ass beater mustang that won't go in gear.
