The uploader claims the driver is a technician from Three-Way Chevrolet Cadillac in Bakersfield, California, and as you\u2019ll see from the Data Logger footage, he blasts through several yellow lights and breaks the speed limit multiple times, at one point hitting 83mph in a residential area.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the experience on the forum, the owner said: \u201cThe dealership offered nothing more than a rude apology to make it right. GM Customer Care also would not help. They basically [said it] wasn\u2019t their problem, take it up with the dealership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We contacted Three-Way Chevrolet Bakersfield for comment, but are yet to hear back.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Corvette Forum via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2016\/07\/dealership-employee-takes-customers.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">Car Scoops<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A video purporting to show a Corvette being taken for a \u2018joyride\u2019 by a dealership in Bakersfield, California has surfaced, recorded using Valet Mode.
