Test drive goes wrong as man crashes in fourth-floor showroom

Most people like to test drive a car before buying it.

There is nothing like climbing behind the wheel of the vehicle to find out if it is the right motor for you.

However, a man from Liuzhou city in China got carried away when he took a Volkswagen for a spin.

As he went to take off in the high-rise showroom, he ended up accelerating through a window and as a result, the car was left dangling out from the fourth floor.

One witness remarked: "There was a bang like a shot from a cannon and the window fell out and the car's nose shot out."

You have to feel sorry for the man, but even worse for the salesperson that was in the motor with him, as they must have got the shock of their lives.

I wonder if he bought the car after such a good first driving experience.
