If I'm wrong that's the way it is, I have never seen one like that I have noticed.
If this is indeed the case; which sounds like may be, I would still be inclined to climb under the dash and see the star pattern if I were going to buy a car. $10,000 or $100,000+.
Rick have you looked from underneath to see the star pattern on your car? I would like to hear that from one person before I give into to this.
