Unhappy New 911 Option

If you had an extra $8000 to spend on your 911, what would it be?
Here's one, just announced!

Porsche will put its customers' giant fingerprints on the hoods of their brand-new 911 sports cars for $8,000 — here's how it works

The article did at least acknowledge the obvious:
The non-fingerprinted 911 is known for having good resale value, and new Porsche 911 owners keep their cars for about 9.9 years before reselling them, according to a study done by iSeeCars.

On this forum, owners pay $$$ to get fingerprints wiped OFF their cars.

I was thinking the exact same thing, and I am not going to be one of those bozos.

That's one of the worst ideas in the history of bad ideas.

Don't commit any crimes, they'll know where to go for a fingerprint exemplar!

Why would anyone want a car with someone else's fingerprint on the hood on resale?

I burned all of my fingerprints off so that the government can't track me.
