Morning guys!
Hey Ken, thanks for that info. We're still waiting for an answer from the dealer. The finance guy told my wife it couldn't have happened without her permission. She asked him for a copy of whatever she signed giving them permission and he said he needed to talk to his boss.
I was there with her, so I know she didn't sign anything... in fact, we had the discussion with the sales guy that her credit would not be run until we had firm numbers on the car she was looking at. We never got that far, never filled out any paperwork, we just had a blank sheet of paper the salesman used to scribble his numbers - sales price/trade/payment estimate.
Rob...a similar incident in Maine a number of years ago resulted in the dealership being sued. I believe they settled for approximately $30,000. Should be about the price of a used RX330...momma might have a free one in the garage. The dealership knows better...and...should be held accountable.

It got crazy down here! I was in Blair at 5:30, picking up the Mustang. I was out in an open lot, putting it on the trailer. Lightning is going off all around me, scaring the crap out of me! Here I am, moving metal ramps, chains, etc., just waiting to get hit! It wasn't quite raining yet, so I kept working to get it hooked up, before the rain came. That, without a doubt, SUCKED! I was shaking like a dog crapping razor blades by the time I was done. Lightning was striking that close!

Rob - Sounds like you have the hammer on that deal with the credit report. Make them deal - or start pounding!
Pat - The Tang looks good - Are you ready to do some burnouts?
I got the beer, pop, meat and house ready. Today I am concentrating on the Vehicles. Up at 6:30 and got the wifes Caddy all shined up (its for sale guys) and going outside to work on the Vett and then tomorrow finish up the convertible and the Truck. Come Friday and Saturday I am going to be ready to drink some refreshments!
