Tire Store Employee Takes Joyride in BMW M2, Loses Job
Tired of slapping on tires, bored employee takes M2 on a 70-mph run through a residential neighborhood, all caught on dash cam.
Do you remember that one scene from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off where the trio hand over the keys to their “borrowed” Ferrari 250 GT to a valet, only for the valet to pick up a friend and roar off through the streets of Chicago, adding a ton of miles that the crew had to try to “rewind” to no avail?
This isn’t quite that scenario, but a high-performance luxury car was involved in a similar situation not too long ago. Canadian TV news network Global News reports an employee at a Canadian Tire in the Toronto suburb of Markham, Ontario took out a BMW M2 for a joyride, all caught on the car’s dash cam.
The five-minute video begins with the dummy revving up the BMW in the service bay, announcing his intent to “go for a test drive.” Another employee claims he had no idea this BMW was an M2, packed with an “M3”-based 3.0-liter turbo-six. Same employee warns the delinquent tire employee not to go too nuts, as the dash cam might be recording the shenanigans about to commence.
And yes, it was recording everything, including a 70-mph run through one street around the block. The average speed on the short run was 72 mph, which was far beyond the 25-mph limit in said block. Guess we should be thankful he didn’t run any signs or kill anyone?
Canadian Tire wasn’t amused by the joyrider’s time behind the BMW, of course. Per a statement to Global News, the dealer reached out to apologize to the owner, the employee lost his job, and the police are going to bust him soon enough. Dash cams are a wonderful tool, especially when it comes to catching tools.
