I had tears in my eyes.
Trouble is, I have talked to a few car salesmen who had test drives that went like this.

I'm surprised that guy didn't have a heart attack. He wasn't exactly a prime physical specimen.

I took a Subaru Forester 5 speed stick on a test drive up a winding street out of town. Heel and toe shifts, double clutch downshifts etc. The salesman about fouled himself. I still run into him on my job every now and then. He says in twenty plus years of car sales that was the only time he ever had anybody actually TEST a car. And yes, I bought it.

Yes, it was as funny as a heart attack, which would make the driver and Pepsi liable.

My first job in the Army was as an ambulance driver. I was assigned to Selfridge ANG base outside of Mt. Clements, MI when Gerald Ford was the President, and so I was sent to a high speed maneuver course just in case. Shortly afterwords, I'd test drive cars at unsuspecting car dealerships. To be fair, I'd pull my crash helmet out of my bag, and put it on before the test drive. You'd be amazed at the number of dealers who would give me a funny look, but wouldn't say a thing about the helmet. Most of them really "enjoyed" my test drive.
Regards,
Dave

He kept it cool
The salesman was quite 'professional' for a pretty long time before he completely lost it! I need a cheering up... that helped.

I was a car salesman back in the 70s selling Fiats, Renaults an Peugeots. I took a prospective buyer out in a Fiat X-19 mid-engine sports car one day on a familiar curvy road, me driving. Well, unbeknownst to me someone had let several pounds of pressure out of both rear tires. I hit the first tight curve at speed and the car started fish-tailing. There were some cars coming in the other direction, and the car would swerve into their lane, I would corrrect it back into my lane as I passed a car, and then it would swerve over in front of the next car!!! I managed to avoid a wreck and got it under control, returning to the dealership with profuse apologies. Somebody's idea of a joke.

Funny indeed but make no mistake it was all staged. The "Salesman" is a actor who does TV commercial and print ad work and the potential liability would make this stunt only viable overseas.
Still quite clever.

True story. I've been a car guy all my life. About a year after the Dodge Challenger came out I stopped in the local Dodge garage just to look at them. Here comes the salesman, I tell him I'm just looking and don't waste your time on me.
He talks me into a test drive in a new 6 speed hemi. The wife gets in the back, the salesman in the front, and me driving. We go down the road about 2 miles and he tells me to get on I99. I merge in third gear and once on 99 I drop it into second and bury my right foot. Took it up to 6 grand and hit third, tack it to 6 grand again and into fourth. All the salesman says is "really has some power doesn't it?"
Now remember the salesman is about 30 and I'm 55 at the time. Wonder how many "older" guys he had take a test frive like that.
I liked the Challenger, but wasn't abpout to buy one. I'll keep my old Corvette. It's been paid for, for the past 20 years.

Back in '86 I took a test drive in an Alfa-Romeo GTV from a dealership in Caldwell, NJ. We cruised up Bloomfield Ave. at a normal rate but when I hit the entrance ramp for Rt. 46 East at about 25 mph, I dropped to second and floored it and then ran up through the gears shifting at 5k or so. The guy was pretty undisturbed in the back seat and Mrs. Nixon in the right knew what I was doing and laughed. I would have bought the car but it was an '85 leftover and the salesman's boss wouldn't deal. I bought a VW Jetta instead and drove it over 250,000 miles. Does anyone think the Alfa would have lasted as long?

That video is going crazy on You Tube. I heard today that the real driver was not Jeff, it was an instructor from the Richard Petty Driving Experience. The "salesman" was also an actor. Still very funny though.
I had a salesman tell me of going on a test drive with someone obviously suicidal. Going down a 2½ mile long hill with a right angle turn at the bottom onto a bridge over a river. The driver floored the car. The salesman jammed his body into the side of the driver (before seat belts), cut the ignition and coasted the rest of the way till he got it stopped.
