The Germans are the epitome of “Fix it until it is broken.” Why make something simple and robust when you can make it needlessly complex, impossible to service, and heavier than necessary.

So he drove it 16 times?

Give that ditch an M3.  Ditches love M3s.

Yup. Software engineer here, never give a definite answer. “We should be able to do that” vs. “We are able to do that.” or “I believe it will be ready by Q3" instead of “It will be ready by Q3.”

I guess there are times when a tallboy really is just too much PBR.

An interior without a bunch of useless shit in it. This limits me to cars from about 2004 or older. Unless I want to go live in India, Thailand, or Indonesia or something.
