I love the Jalopnik writer's suggestion:

Quote:
This gives me an idea, though, for a more responsible form of supercar sales: when someone buys a car with performance that would put it in the supercar class, they get the performance-inhibiting valet key to take it home with. They can get the real key a week later, where it will be placed in a box located at the end of an autocross course.
The autocross course will be at their dealer, and if they knock over more than, say, two cones, the box remains locked and they have to come back next week to try again.
There. Problem solved!

probably walked back to dealer to get another one. only sadness from this is him having to be at the back of the waitlist
