Kill yourself or some one else doing 100 MPH you can come back and find GM at fault because we made it possible to do 155?

So GM has to put a max speed limiter(70) so some driver will not break the law?


NO! lol

Huge difference.

You see....you aren't, through the normal sale of the car, going to be asked to go 155 mph--- they are however going to request you do drive it off the lot.

I contend that buying a car in Canada during the winter months, driving off the lot should be prohibited, just like they won't let you drive off without proof of insurance. (In most states, if not all)

With this huge flaw by GM. You don't have to speed, to break the law, you simply have to drive your OEM car across the threshold of the private lot, onto the public road, and bam, you are breaking the law. No matter what.

I am saying that if the dealer is going to allow you to drive off the lot, they should require you to change the tires first. Otherwise flatbed it home.

Otherwise GM is encouraging you to break the law, and a good lawyer could argue that GM is aiding and abiding you in your unlawful acts. Because they 100% knew that they were selling a product that wasn't fully street legal, but still allowed the person to drive off the lot.

I am all for personal responsibility, but seriously,, Shouldn't you be able to reasonably expect GM to sell you a full street legal car?

Hell for all I know this strange law could be covered in some GM paperwork you sign when purchasing the car, saying that your cars tires are not legal at this current time, and you bare all responsibility to have your tires changed before you leave the lot.... but if they don't then that is the problem....
