I have two very different answers for this question, but both wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for one man - Ferdinand Piech.

Haven’t seen this mentioned yet. It covers a small set of wildly unnecessary cars, especially when you get into the RX8 timeframe.

Is this a made up problem? Other than the only actual picture of one event, how prevalent is this?

And if people didn’t break laws and run from cops to begin with, this stuff also wouldn’t be needed.

Anyone that predicted the “Paperless Office” missed one simple factor of their future prediction: paper got easier too.
