It's not that hard to believe. I set my old RDX on the track and was literally bumped from behind be someone also setting their car on the track. It broke the rear A-arm. That was the very first time I set the brand new car on ANY track, ever. It was a laughable "bump" that broke parts that should never have broken. I spent the next 5 months dealing with similar instances of breakage. I wasn't the only one to do so...

I've seen little "bumps" that broke parts on touring cars that would make you NEVER want to buy the cars that broke.

Hearing all of these stories is bringing me back to a place that I don't want to see again. I hope this stuff gets sorted out, because bumpers are Band-Aids for other problems and not cures or complete solutions.



I still REALLY want this car, but not if I need to keep dozens of spare arms in the tool box. I want to wrench LESS at the track, not more.
