Mechanic took customer's RX-8 without consent
So this just happened.
Seems like the owner is another goofball that doesn't know crap about RX-8. You need to drive the car hard!
That said, the mechanic is also an idiot for doing this.

Looks like the guy is looking for a free engine or rebuild. Complaining that the guy redlined his car? Well no wonder you need a rebuild buddy! Hahaj!

Water Foul
That IS amusing from a certain POV. Taking my 8 to the track is what I credit for its engine health. And, it's a good sign that his will still redline.
Still, dealership idiots joyriding in customer cars sucks big time. When I am forced to drop mine at the dealer for service, I always let the service writer see me take a photo of the odometer. Prior to doing that, I would have up to a 150 mile discrepancy at times.

Rotary Runner Redux

Local dealer saw the 'marbles' in my front fender pockets when I took it in for the MSP-16 ECU reflash, asked if I tracked the car. I admitted as much, the mechanic nodded his head and said, "It'll live longer that way", grinned and took it back to the bay.
Now, with the Pettit / Kenne Bell mashup under the hood, I don't think I'd take kindly to backroads joyrides by the wrench jockeys.
