They STILL do VIN etching here. Like...Almost all of them.yeah thats why i stay out of GST/SET regions. the familys that own those regions really force some of those addons as mandatory that are really pure junk for 70-80% of the consumers i am guessing.
those big money grabs for low cost to the GST/SET regions protection packages are the worst.
but as far as those PIO that are not protection packages i can see the cost justifications.
but i despise those regions just for the junk they add that are pure profit. i remember back in the 80s they had those stupid vin etchings upcharge that was pure junk in SET (i use to live in GA)
