Sorry to hear what happened, but why was the owner of the shop taking your car out for a test drive, is he also a mechanic?

btw, I was told by my bro that a guy took his E34 M5 to a tune shop, and 5 months later he got it back with a s#@t load of miles...turns out the shop owner used it as a personal vehicle for the duration of the 5 months

Ben,
Like you said, there was no written agreement and thankfully no damage to the car. Take it as a lesson and move on.
Personally, outside of a couple of my good friends on this board, whom I trust more with my car than I do myself, I wouldn't let anybody drive my car.

How did he respond when you informed him how pissed you were?
