35k or not, lucky no one really cares, not even the staff. One call to the insurance company, few weeks later, it's all fixed for probably like $500 (the excess the customer would have paid). Apart from the embarrassment, if I did the same, it would really be of no concern.
On another, wow they look nice in white!

I live near here and that street is a major cluster. I personally would have made the dealer back that thing out and have me drive it somewhere with less chaos.

Stupid Question
Why is someone taking it on a test drive? Seriously? Is there a debate your about to drop about 1.7m on it, if you dont like the way it rides?
In this rare instance, the dealer has the right to say, go F yourself, pay up or get out. That car will sell itself, its simple economics.

I never heard about him going to jail... it would be tough for the insurance company to prove he drove it in the lake on purpose (even though he happens to be the owner of an exotic car restoration service). Last I heard he bought a new one
