This is quite a story and it's been circulating around the internet fast.
Some lady took her Cobra into the dealer and the mechanic just ran the hell out of it. After he did that, he bragged about it on a message board and got caught.
Here's the full thread.

You will eventually get the "website not responding" message. It's all I've been able to get....
In fact, I tried accessing the Forum index and ran into the same problem.

I was at a clients house about three months ago while she was opening her mail. She opens up a ticket from an intersection camera and can't figure out what the F***. We look at the picture and there's some guy driving the car, she says oh that's the dealers mechanic trying to find the intermittent problem. I said yeah and look at the time, 1:30 Saturday morning with someone in the passsenger seat. Boy did he get reamed! :D

I got on the site from work and there was over 54,000 hits. Maybe it'll slow down a bit tomorrow..

From the looks of things, this topic has reached about 100 boards and even got replies from Australia. I hope the guy did actually get fired and I hope Ford issues her a new Cobra. Sad to hear about these things.

Un-freakin'-believable!
Not only does the tool brag about this, the owner sees it herself and puts two and two together. Wasn't too hard- he quoted the vanity plate!
I was on SVT/Cobra forum, and the pages of response were growing faster than I could read them. Started a while ago, with three to read. Jumped off just now, and the thread was up to 8pages!!
So far, he's been fired- she's hiring an attorney- it's gonna get interesting before it's settled.

MAN IT WAS WAY COOL, DROVE A '03 COBRA VERT TODAY THAT WAS IN THE SHOP, ME AND ANOTHER TECH TOOK IT OUT AND DROVE IT, DROVE HER HARD, 6 SPEED TRANNY, WE HIT 140 MPH REAL QUICK, TALK ABOUT POWER. NOT THAT WE DO IT HERE ALL THE TIME, BUT I JUST HAD TO RUN IT, IT WAS CALLING MY NAME... THE POWER IT HAS IN UNREAL, YOU JUST NEED TO GET OUT AND TEST DRIVE ONE TODAY, BY THE WAY, THE CUSTOMER'S COMPLAINT WAS LACK OF POWER AND POOR GAS MILEAGE, WHAT A CROCK... NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT IS OWNED BY A FEMALE, SHE EVEN SAID IT WAS DYNOED AT A SHOP AND THEY TOLD HER THAT THE CONVERTORS WERE TOO HOT AND THE FUEL TRIM WAS WAY OFF. I HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER, FUEL TRIM WAS NORMAL, CAT TEMP WAS OK, NO CODES, AND IT RAN GREAT. GO FIGURE.. OH YEAH, SHE EVEN TOLD THE SERVICE WRITER TO MAKE SURE THAT NO "PUNK" DRIVES HER CAR, WELL SINCE I AM THE MUSTANG SPECIALIST HERE AT THE DEALER, I GUESS I AM "THE PUNK", ALL THE MORE TO DRIVE HER '03 COBRA VERT AND SEE WHAT ITS GOT.. HEHE HOPE SHE DIDNT HAVE A HIDDEN CAMERA IN THAT CAR...... GET THIS, HER PLATES SAY "**** **"

Dude, this is gonna make CNN! I write servive at a VW dealership, that is some serious negative coverage. The tech made a mistake by posting and bragging. It`s a small world, but the internet made it smaller. Check out VW`s, they are starting to make some noise (in the world of imports).
Gotta love those bench racing fags!
