Ya...it wasn't video anyway...just audio, with a slide show of the car in question.
The audio was tellin tho.....two guys drivin the piss out of the car, doing burnouts, and chirpin the tires numerous times during a 20 minute "test drive". Also had who I assume was the service manager questioning the guys, because he could smell the clutch burning when they pulled it back in. Their "solution" was to sell the owner a clutch disc, then turn around and bill GM for a clutch pressure plate under warranty, because "this guy's a f-ing dumb-a$$".....
Apparently, either the dealer, or GM sent a "Cease and Desist" order.....
