Arrow Drove one at Hiley in Hurst

The Hurst Hiley store got two in today. Mine wasn't among them. The salesman let me take the velocity red one out for a spin in hwy121, and it was fantastic. Very easy to shift, steer, and it's smooth.

A couple there were looking at the Titanium gray, and they already had a brilliant blue on order. They decided to buy the one at the lot.

That's nice but...

It was nice of Hiley to let you drive the car. i hope it is their demonstrator and not a customer car. i would be FURIOUS if it were my car they let out but I bought from Freeman's trha has such tight control of these cars that only designated mechanics, etc., are allowed to touch the cars and NEVER acutomer's car is driven by anyone but them.

I agree completely. I hammered the point home about nobody driving mine, sitting in it, and I don't want any stickers or badges.
They agreed, but I have no way of knowing what goes on behind my back.

It wasn't a preorder car I drove. I wonder how many miles you can sneak onto a car without having it designated as a "program" car?

There were no mechanics on duty today, so it hadn't had PDI yet. I was gentle with it, and didn't take it but about 5 miles.

I'll be sure to camp out on their doorstep after I get my email.

Mine was the other yellow, VIN 1308, parked in the building in back with the wraps still on it.
