Default VW Stop Sale

Man...I had never heard the term "stop sale" until the GT3. And now another VAG car subject to a stop sale...

That's because everything VW touches goes to s**t! Porsche included! Hopefully Porsche will escape the nasty " claw "at some point,but I doubt it. They'll be VWtisized by then.
I grew up with the iconic MK1,MK2 etc,but what they make these days is crap.

The biggest stop sale I think has been, Toyota.

Slap it on and ship it as fast as you can including the $150K GT3. Missing mesh on GT3 is a great example of how things are these days.

LOL.

Silverrules -- we're almost there! Can you smell the new-ish car smell?

Silverules - I said the same thing on the "mesh" tread. They rushed the 991 GT3 and that is what caused them the engine issues and the forgotten "mesh liner" just reinforced that

They didn't put mesh on the front bumper grill openings on the 997.1 GT3 but they did put it there for the gen 2..... but I wish VW wasn't involved either
