The article is taking place in Connecticut, so this New Englander is also partaking in attempting to blow things up as much as possible.
The OP of the article (car owner) would probably demand a new car, at some point, because of this "evidence" he feels he has.
CT and MA... Land of entitlements. Just a slightly more Western implementation of a "Masshole."
I'll take 10 special price coffees and then take your whole store for free in condiments for my purchases and home, way more than anyone else does and way more than could possibly go in the coffees, for no extra payment from myself even for these numerous and costly extra items, because my money is more important than the next customer's, and you better not question me. = Masshole mentality.. *translate this to this article: "You'Re on video being rough with my car, i'll take a new car, replacement tires for life, free waxes, free fill-ups, and you are gonna pay my insurance for life too. Because your employee was caught disrespecting my ride."
Though, if the oil was at full operating temperature, then the car is probably ok..
