this can be true, but is not ALWAYS true, but yeah from my personal experiences (because I have driven STi's from boat dock to dealer I'm not gonna lie, people have wailed on your car!) and even though it says about ~ < 10 miles, you'd be surprised the shit people pulled on your car before delivery.
Just be happy we live in an age where precision rules, and it doesn't really matter, because lets face it, the abuse they try to grab-ass can probably withstand it, and the test of time, so just relax.
For me personally, I'm more worried about people drilling holes in my front fascia, and heating dorky dealership letters on the rear end of MY car, I hate that.....
as for stolen OEM shit, I doubt that, that is a NO NO... but you are in "Canada" lol
That is actually a deal breaker for me, and if you wanna beat on my shit out of the cargo docks from the ship be my guest.
