No doubt the salesman would have died if he gave the test ride, only his body would have been dumped somewhere and the guy would still have the Corvette. The perp in his twisted mind already had his Corvette and the salesman took it from him by refusing the test ride.

Wow! That sucks...

I had a lot of places turn me down and not let me test drive the Corvettes but that was because I am young and they didn't think I was a serious buyer. But I didn't feel the need to stab them... lol

Car Salesman+ Murder.... I know I thought about it more than once! He might have been a honest one, but they are a minority in O.C. The dealer I picked up my vette from handed me the keys with an empty tank and no orientation at all because I didn't BUY it there. SELMON Chevrolet in Orange.
