I'm surprised that a few people here seem to think that some asshole can't cause damage to a car in a mile or two.

And I still don't think that the factory testing and the transportation of these cars from japan to the united states would cause them to accumulate more than a couple miles.

I guess the BRZ must go through some sort of "Magical Multiple Mile PDI Shakedown Test Drive" that an STi doesn't.

I will take into account that some dealerships nearest gas station is miles away. Now, that I think about it I watched my STi at the gas station being filled up....their nearest gas station was across the street.......and I was watching them from the dealership window like a f'ing hawk!!

But I'm still curious to see what kinda miles people eventually start to get when the car isn't the "new hotness" on the lot. Perhaps unusually long or multiple PDI's just for the heck of it are the culprit.

I will accept that my car will have anywhere from 6-10 miles on it.

But there will be hell to pay if my car has more than 10 miles on it!!!!!

Thanks for the input.
