Who Pays When a Test Drive Ends in Engine Failure?
If a car dealer lets you take a car out for a test drive and it suffers catastrophic engine and transmission damage, are you responsible for the repair charges?

Take it anywhere you like.'

"I have family who live in the Central Valley and know the Grapevine like the back of my hand. After reaching the summit at about 4,000 feet, I began my descent, and shifted into a lower gear as I have always done.  This is called ‘engine breaking'
