You do this:
The incident played out on a busy Saturday afternoon at the dealership. According to Miami-Dade Police, Georgettis was fuming over the price he paid, a new one goes for about $20,000 and it's unknown what price he paid for a new beige Ford Escape SUV. On Saturday he went back to the dealership. It's unclear what he was told, but he was angered with the final agreement.
He calmly got into the car and drove it through the windows, sending glass shattering everywhere. He then doused gasoline or a flammable fluid on the Escape and other cars and struck a match.
Denise Cruz, another customer, witnessed the jaw-dropping incident. She had brought her car to be serviced and said she was in line when she saw Georgettis careen into the showroom.
''At first I thought someone had pushed the accelerator instead of the brakes by accident,'' she said. ``But this dude drove through the showroom on purpose.''
Cruz, described the scene as ''pure panic,'' with people screaming ''he's got a bomb!'' She said that once the man was in the showroom, she saw him reach over into the passenger side for something, then heard a loud ``boom.''
''Flames were everywhere,'' she said.
But to her surprise, Georgettis, wearing a bright orange shirt and khaki shorts, was calm and strolled away.
The fire spread throughout the dealership and destroyed cars, computers and paperwork. Among the cars damaged was a rare baby blue 2006 Ford GT ''Heritage,'' a limited edition model of only 250 made that sells for $150,000.

Pretty funny stuff. It's a shame that a GT was damaged. I don't care for the other Fords.

That's a beautiful car and a $$$ one too!
Haven't heard about anyone torching their new Volvo lately, either!

Now, do you think the guy regrets it?
I'd LOVE to read what he has to say after the fact.

At least I saved a lot of money by switching to Geico?
