When life gives you lemons, some people make lemonade, but Michael Murray, 35, made headlines¡ªby crashing his car into a Utah dealership. The drama unfolded after Murray purchased a Subaru Outback from Tim Dahle Mazda Southtowne, only to find what he claimed were glaring mechanical issues hours later. Calling the car a "lemon," he stormed back to the dealership, demanding his $4,000 back.
But things didn¡¯t go his way. The dealership¡¯s manager, Tyler Slade, made it clear that Murray was out of luck. ¡°The vehicle was sold ¡®as-is,¡¯¡± Slade explained, emphasizing that buyers sign a hot-pink document highlighting this condition. Translation? No take-backs, even if the car sputters on day one.
Murray wasn¡¯t having it. After being denied a refund, he dropped an ominous threat: ¡°Give me my money back, or I¡¯m driving this car straight through your front door.¡± Spoiler alert¡ªhe wasn¡¯t bluffing.
Around 4 PM, Murray returned to the dealership, revved up his Outback, and made good on his word. Surveillance footage captured the jaw-dropping moment when the car smashed through the glass entrance, scattering shards everywhere and narrowly missing seven stunned employees. Stepping out of the wreckage, Murray reportedly shouted, ¡°I told you.¡±
The aftermath? Chaos, a lot of broken glass, and $10,000 in damages. Miraculously, no one was injured, but the dealership staff is still shaken. One employee called the act ¡°pure rage,¡± adding that it could have easily been fatal.
As for Murray, his stunt didn¡¯t end with a refund. Instead, he earned himself felony charges for criminal mischief and reckless endangerment. Meanwhile, his Subaru now comes with some serious showroom mileage.
Moral of the story? When life hands you a lemon, maybe rethink driving it through a glass door.
