This. Previous owner of my 911 got testy when I told him the test drive wasn't over until we took it on the highway. Like really, you think I'm going to put down that much money without having sampled the merchandise?

Now if it was a stick and your driving was terrible I as the owner might be worried about a money shift or gear/clutch grinding running up to red line (wouldn't he a good situation!) but if you had proven yourself a competent driver I would have argued the point.
