Second that! We have a Mineral B wok and the largest pan they make (I think, it’s around 16" wide) and they are absolutely perfect. Never had a better pan for pancakes before.

Did you already drive a GR86?

Knowing Webasto (which stands for Wilhelm Bauer, Stockdorf) I can assure you that these problems are a direct result of cost pressure from Ford.

Unfortunately, I believe that the answer is Miata. Perfectly balanced, refined, and always under-powered.

Ooh, how I can relate to that!

That’s nothing, in Germany it is spelled “Borschtsch”, making you sound like a punctured rubber boat.

The answer is alway MIAbrams!

Has already been tried ... albeit with a wing.

Is there already a term for that kind of truck design?

Don’t forget the Mercedes-Benz W126 S-Class configuration. It’s similar to the Alpine but the wipers are going in the same direction. Think more of a conventional setup with the wipers mounted in the middle.

We effectively weirded out half of a whole birthday party by philosophizing about “Bizarro World”. What’s that, if no THE big “What if...?”-point?

Not-so-fun fact: My great-grandfather was killed by a beetle battery. He just picked up the car at the dealer where it had the annual check-up, drove home and, going through a long curve, went into oversteer and lost control. He first hit a mile stone and then a ditch, where the battery shot out from under the rear…

VW is a master player in these things ... my ‘87 Passat had no wired rear fog light and while completing the wiring myself I noticed that only one of them even had a reflector underneath the “glass”. So that’s a two-stage-not-working rear fog light.

Exactly! Rötger “Brösel” Feldmann, the cartoon is from one of the earlier Werner books.

There is even an old german cartoon about it, mocking the owners who keep flipping their lights for showing off.

Perhaps an economic choice: You can use the same mechanism on both sides instead of designing a mirrored one for the other side,

Once revved up, that is mostly a somewhat stable system (albeit not in the optimal dimension). Just look at motorcycles with a longitudinal engines (Guzzi, BMW, some Hondas and the mighty Boss Hoss): You can feel a certain momentum while playing with the gas, but once a reasonable (in this case unreasonable) speed is…

Connected to that: Has anyone ever scientifically researched the differences and possible pros and cons between paper kitchen towels and paper hand towels? The latter seem to be much more “bio” as they are unbleached and normally made from recycled paper, whereas the kitchen variety is seemingly designed to be more…

Wait ... what?!

I think, the best reaction mirrors the above advices ... saying “Stop!/No hitting!” and (gently!) stopping their fists.
