Customer Says She Was Threatened By Dealership That Bullied Pizza Guy
Customer Says She Was Threatened By Dealership That Bullied Pizza Guy-April 2024

The folks over at F&R used car sales seem like some classy individuals. First they Now the owner and an employee are facing charges for threats and intimidation after they allegedly told a female customer that they would "punch her in the face," if she came to the dealership.

According to a Westport woman told police she purchased a car from F&R, which failed to pass a safety inspection. When she contacted them about it, employees allegedly chastised her verbally, used profanities, made a sexual comment and threatened assault her if she showed up in person.

Police investigated the incident and charged owner Francis R. Correiro and employee Mark Dambrosca, with threats to do bodily harm and intimidation of a witness. According to Westport Police Department, they have received 26 complaints about F&R in the past year. The Attorney General's office says that customers have made 38 complaints since 2009.

Here's a sampling:

"allegations of store employees forging car documents, numerous calls of angry customers, employees refusing to fix alleged broken vehicles, arguments between employees, irate former employees, argument between employees taking place in front of customers, employees allegedly harassing a father and his kids over a car being returned, customers afraid to return after being allegedly harassed by employees, and employees threatening customers."

I think it is safe to say that F&R might be the absolute worst place to buy a car in Massachusetts. Perhaps they should change their name to Masshole Auto Sales.

You Could Be Able To Buy A 'Brand New' Vintage Porsche 911 Soon
It’s a car-nut cliché to be in love with the early Porsche 911. Before we even start talking driving experience or historical significance, just look at it. Today these cars are an endangered species, and you can’t exactly build a “new” classic. Except now it looks like maybe you can....

This Canadian redneck’s incredible YouTube channel narrating the dismantling and analysis of tools is hilarious, educational and my new favorite thing on the internet.
