I think it's all relative Dr. P. 
For example, i thought i knew everything i could about this car prior to purchasing but at the end of the day and when all was said and done, the dealership could not tell me anything by looking at the VIN (go figure) and all i had to go by were the photos Carmax in MD shot for me (i'm in TX). I paid for it to be transferred here anyway as it had most of everything else i wanted.
And even then, it wasn't until folks started posting that i found a few other things about the car... like the hidden compartment in the back seats, the secret menu on the screen, AGC *as well as* the damages done to the car that neither Carmax, Carfax nor Autocheck showed.

IIRC, it will only light up when active, similar to traction control. If true, then it's easier to look under the car for verification. My car has the indicator on the gauges, it just doesn't light up because the car is not equipped.
did you check yet? it takes 2 seconds!!
Oh and as far as car, I reserch the crap out of cars before I buy them but I always find out more on forums and reading through the owners manuals no matter how well I thought I knew a car. No matter how well you think you know the car you bought you will not know everything about it. Some people may never know half of what their cars have.

LOL hey whatever works for you...but I like to know exactly what I'm buying BEFORE I actually buy it. In regard to your attempt to be funny...yes if your curious about thread count or quality of welds you should look into it BEFORE buying the item. Regardless if its something you "cared" about or not, I would think a buyer would want to know everything about a car he's purchasing in advance...but hey that's just my crazy logic I guess.

4was
Hello I recently just purchased a 2010 G37 anniversary coupe. After I installed my exhuast I notice the rear was differnet than my last 2012 G37 coupe. Looked it up and found this forum on what it was. I wanted to know if its even possible to drift with the 4WAS or if would damage it. The feeling of the back end moving too do scare me a little bit. I can not even a find any information on 4was on the internet so any informationon it would be a blessing.
