He says he has bought 5 cars there and the salesman will let him. Kinda makes me mad since I can't think of a way to stop it, other than telling the salesman not to let him. But after dealing with my salesman I'm not exactly full of confidence.
I think I'm gonna make a call to the manager of the dealer next week and tell him that I ordered my car, paid a deposit, and waited all this time so that I could have MY car built for ME. Not something on a lot that was test driven (beat to death) by someone else.

I think that friend is just busting your chops anyway.

I can help you track your vehicle. PM me with your order number and dealer name so I can help.
. BTW how long did it take to get a build date and VIN after you ordered?

Yeah I'm calling next week for sure to remind them of the front plate bracket and to tell them about the logo. I hope hes messing with me, but if you guys knew him you'd understand why I believe he is not.
And thanks Deysha, I'm gonna be just like everyone else and freak out from the build date until I'm sitting in my car, you are a huge help!

The same is true in Ohio BKStyles. Although it seems only a certain "crowd" of cars gets pulled over for it lol.
I did get clarification on nobody else touching my car, the sales manager made it clear that the only person driving it would be the tech doing the PDI. "not even a manager could get in that car" he said.
I mentioned the dealer stickers but not the front plate thing
. Something tells me I will have another opportunity to bring that up before the car gets in. (ie I'm gonna call 50 more times anyway)

Lol it's one of those hit or miss deals. I just don't want any **** holes in my front bumper.
I'm glad you got clarification from your dealer, because u should be the only one allowed to break your Kona in.

And that's exactly my point. I believe that ring seating during break in can affect the way a motor makes power. I think some of the cars transferred from dealers 100 miles away that spend those first 100 miles on the freeway at a constant rpm with the cruise set will make less power than ones where engine speed was vairied and cylinder pressures were increased.
And I can assure you my rpms will be varied, and my cylinder pressures will be increased

I have no idea what that means. Lol. I'm oblivious to that mechanical stuff, I guess I'm gonna have to learn. Lol
