    Mapa automatic man or manual, pansin ko car companies (especially Toyota) remove the tip or yung hawakan ng kambyo... Like this...



    What for? Curious lang...

    naitanong ko na din yan dati sa friend ko na SA..

    sabi niya may incidents na daw na ninanakaw.. hindi lang nila alam kung yung mga nagwalk-in na customer o guards nila ang kumukuha

    pati cigarette lighter, ashtray, etc... na madali maalis

    pansinin niyo pagkatapos mo silipin ang interior saka engine compartment sinasara agad ng SA kahit alam nya na hindi ka pa tapos... at yung susi nasa guard lagi wala sa kanila

    Ninanakaw. Especially in the Toyota showrooms that get crowded and its hard to monitor each visitor.

    ay! ako pala guilty!

    dati may kinuha ako na part ng carb ng nakadisplay na engine.

    paano ba naman 2months na ata wala pa dumadating nung part na kailangan ko, so kinausap ko yung guard at binigyan ko na lang hahahaha

    One or the other:

    - prevent theft of the shift knob (notice the cigarette lighter plug is not there too)

    - prevent "wear & tear" discoloration of all the people trying out the car.

    No seriously di naman ganun kalaki ang showrooms eh tapos ang dami pang mga SA ang security guards... Mga small items like cigarette lighters ya minabuti na pero yung tip ng kambyo di naman madali tangalin yan eh... And I dunno pero everytime I go to showrooms di naman lagi puno ng tao maybe there are 3 other people at most looking around...

    iniikot lang yan, mabilya talaga nakawin yan, at wala sa looks ng customer yan. any customer could just go in and take the shift knob away. it's really that easy to steal and go. kayangilagay sa bulsa agad yan, kakahiya naman sa toyota sales people if nawalan at iinspect baway customer. so naninigurado lang sila.

    Tidus, para hindi manakaw. Madali lang kasi yan matanggal eh. Konting effort and ikot lang, then ibulsa mo na. hehe

Showroom cars, why remove the tip of the gear selector?
