      Wouldn’t that be the same for any show car? Like, you don’t want to scuff up the new tires by unnecessarily taking the car over a curb.

      Granted, they should have put them away for the show, but they clearly don’t have much brain power to show.

        You think they do that with a jeep, or some other actual off-road vehicle? Maybe they would, but I think the curb would take out that nazi car. That’s the difference.

          For a showroom vehicle where you want everything on the vehicle to be as spotless and unblemished as possible, yeah, I would imagine some places would.

          Sure, not everywhere is gonna do it, but I would guess that they had a time or two where a car slipped on the curb and scuffed up the tire. It’s one more thing to potentially turn off a customer. Plus, they maybe can’t sell the car until they replace the damaged tires (just my guess).

            Scuffs and dirt are sources of pride for real off roaders. Sure the Detroit, Tokyo, London car shows they keep it spotless, and inside. For this, I suspect there’s a jeep on a 45° ramp somewhere with the front wheel of the jeep about where the roof of the CT is.
