Where do the cars get driven that they have 18-25 miles?

And yes, when it arrived back at my dealership it was in transport mode.
The car did spent almost 2 weeks 'stuck' at Canadian customs at the Halifax port.

When I took delivery of my 911R last year in Leipzig, it has 26km on the clock. I am not concerned about that.
But what I am concerned was that when it arrived back to my dealer after Euro delivery, it has mysteriously gained 30km. I know, cause I took a picture of the odometer before I leave my car.
More concerning was the g-meter reading, 0.87g braking, 0.91 acceleration, 0.66 and 0.7 g lateral. I purposefully reset the g-meter before I leave just so I know if my car was being driven aggressively.
Only explanation was that it was the yahoos at Customs took it for a joy ride. I ruled out Porsche right away, cause they know who the owner of the car is, and it's not like they haven't seen a 911R before.

How about paying for a "GT" car only to come back to the Dealer next day to meet the Hauler to load the car and the car had an additional 30 miles on it??? Talk about being pissed. The SA begged me not to go to the GM. This happened with my GT4 and I will leave it at that.
Thank god my dealer know me too well to try and pull stunts like that. I have a habit of showing up unannounced whatever hour it is just to look at my cars, be it on a hoist or in their parking area.
