Well, I had to buy mine out of state and have it shipped anyway. They wouldn’t have had the opportunity to sit in the car with me for a tutorial. Haha

When I bought my RS3, the Audi dealer sat in the car with me for like 45min going over how to do everything. It was annoying at the time - I just wanted to go, but looking back on it, it was great that they make you sit through that intro session.
Suzuki will sell a Hayabusa motorcycle to a 16 year old too.... happens all time time. What's your point?

My point is that it is irresponsible and lazy. They can do better. If what you're saying about Suzuki is accurate, then they're in the same boat.

I’ve definitely decided that launch control isn’t the way to go for the street with stock tires at normal pressure. With a little practice, I’m able to hit 0-60 in 3.8 basically every time with no LC. This morning, before it got up to 100°+, I was finally able to break into the 11s with it. I was stuck at 12.0 in the heat and it was driving me crazy. TC on, 3500RPM, quick smooth clutch release, accel pedal down. No slipping the clutch and the car feels composed like it’s handling everything without getting beaten up. DA was 2,179’.

My dealer made me sit through the get to know your car process but it was for the onstar bullshit that I had no interest in instead of the cars features

LOL that's true, I also had to do the OnStar thing. It was annoying since I knew I was going to cancel it immediately after the free trial expired.
