Explained to him I would like to drive one after its been treated like a rental car. Should give one a peek into how it will feel once owned for a few months.

All ways fun to have something to look forward to....

I feel for the poor saps who end up with these black/coral demos. I was one of the first to test the local dealer's 135...it was not a gentle ride. The semi-manual shifting on the automatic tranny was new and rather awkward for me, I embarrasingly managed to downshift once when I meant to upshift resulting in a very excessive redline. Of course all that was combined with numerous full throttle take offs and a rather short adventure into the triple digits. I'm sure I'm not alone in thrashing the demo car...although I do feel ever so remotely guilty.
