That portion requires additional equipment but even that is possible. Porn always leads the tech way.

I'll leave it up to the reader to find it on the googles if they are interested, definitely NSFW.

Well.. that was quick....

I reaallly reaallly hate that type of display. I would not buy a car with one unless there was absolutely no other choice, which seems like it will be the case soon.

Well the scarier part is what the car is either asking for or offering! I am afraid it is going to suddenly lock me in and crank the seat warmer to painful levels.

Had to look it up, since I've never had a car with "BSM".

The Hakone had a nasty door ding when I picked it up. I was also not impressed with the ceramic job as it was a streaked and the inside of the windshield looked like it had been wiped with a dirty rag. Oh and the owner's manual with the special case was missing.
My salesperson was off in isolation since he had contact with somebody that came back from a trip (turns out all clear) so a low level manager was taking care of me when I picked it up. They were closing at 6 on Tuesday and the sales staff would be gone for two weeks. Told them that I could not get there until about 5:40. They said no problem if went a bit longer. I get there and wait 15 minutes for the guy. He finally shows up and we go out to put the plates on.
Since I had bought special covers with hidden bolts I didn't want them ramming the big hex head things they use in and messing up the inserts so I said I will put them on and then we would do the inspection. Had problems with one so he went to grab a tapered screw to start the thread. Started the thread and left while I put the last bot in. I thought he was just taking the driver back but as I did the last turn of the bolt I look up and there he goes driving down the street. No walk around, no inspection sign off no "I am leaving" he just abandoned me in the parking lot. It is about 6:05 at this point.
Well I do a walk around and find the above concerns. I go into the dealership and find a guy, just one guy, that I believe is a senior manager and say what happened and that I want to state my concerns. He says "well we did close at 6 and will be down for two weeks". I say I understand and will just take a minute and I start off with the missing manual/case and he just sort of snorts and says "ohhh a manual is missing we will order one". I just turned around and walked out.
When I got home I sent a scathing text to my salesman (you guys can probably figure out what I can say when I am actually pissed off!)describing what went down and the issues I found. I was very clear it was not him I was pissed with though. He replied he would forward to his bosses and get back to me. Keep in mind this is a massive dealership with several different locations and makes under their umbrella.
Yesterday morning I get a phone call from the VP of sales. He was very concerned and rightfully stated that even under the current circumstances there was no excuses for things to happen as they did and he would be taking care of all my issues personally. Dropped the car off this morning for them to fix the ding and redo the ceramic. The Crapolla is a loaner.
So, yes they screwed up but they went above and beyond to fix that screw up!

I had to pick up the Hakone a day earlier than planned. Got it Tuesday night but the Lava didn't go to it's new home until last night.
I got really good a swapping license plates in the last two days.


SHHHHH don't tell the cops I had the plates back on the Lava after they were transferred
