That’s what I was attempting to describe, a skidplate held on with locking lugnuts.

You can call a company out for their bullshit without hating them.

Yeah, require them to take down ID numbers for each lot and call the cops to inspect large numbers of cats being dropped off. It all sounds like a huge pain in the ass though.

I guess going forward all cars are going to have 4 studs around the cat, a metal plate to slide over the studs covering the cat, and then locking lugnuts holding the plate to the studs. It’s not impenetrable but it seems these guys don’t want to do anything that’s going to take more than a few minutes.

It’s even  more fun when you call to confirm they have the car listed on their site, drive an hour to the dealership, then sit there for an hour while they “look” for it only for one salesman to speak up that he sold it 2 days ago and then try to convince you that you really wanted this other one on the lot in a…

Will we ever get an ID.3 GTX in the states?

Robby Gordon never got the attention or respect he deserved.

Our Crosstrek has one and it’s been fine. I wouldn’t want it in a WRX or BRZ but with the lower powered Crosstreks and Foresters it’s fine.

I’m here for the BRZ Wilderness package.

They’re more of a tourist thing it seems, not the most regular form of transportation. The island’s so small a bike would get you where you’re going quicker though.

Yeah, Galveston still has street cars.

Awesome, can’t wait to see these on the street.
