I'm all for extended test drives, as that's the only way to really get to know the vehicle before laying out the hard cash, but this is ridiculous... Apparently an Australian took a new Honda Accord from a dealer in Melbourne to the town of Tennant Creek, which is deep into the Outback before being stopped by police.
The car dealer owner Ian McKenzie said the man would have had to have been in the car all day, every day to reach Tennant Creek. "He seemed a legitimate gentleman...
He stood at the desk right in front of a camera. He wasn't afraid of being photographed or videoed," stated McKenzie.

To put that in perspective, imagine driving from eastern Los Angeles to Atlanta (~2000 miles).

He just wanted to see what it felt like after the 1000 mile break-in period. :D
