A few years ago I showed up to investigate why a piece of equipment wasn’t working. The 2TB

The hardware engineer, product manager, NPI manager, and everyone up the chain responsible for reviewing MTBF here should be ceremonially hung upside down naked, covered in honey, and set upon by a colony of fire ants.*

How is it that BMW doesn’t know how to do rear ends anymore?

Because you only have to spend 60k to get a C8?

Love the image. I've always wondered how Marty's back wasn't killing him after that scene...
