Have to post this, again.

As both a master tech and a dealership service manager, I have to wonder why they put such a complex, expensive, finicky, heavy, unreliable and totally unnecessary system on a lower-priced (meaning not $200,000-level super car ) model.

I still don’t see how this was ever a good idea.

Agree, I misread on the first pass through. It’s still insignificant compared to US total production at .0027%*. I guess what I’m trying to say is that it doesn’t belong on the same scale as the oil disasters and numerous other environmental disasters in the last 10 years.

If you have only been alive the past two decades then this is something weird and amazing! Problem is weather like this not unprecedented.

Nothing bizarre about it. It’s weather; it’s unpredictable. Sometimes, it’s even deadly.

And as the naturalistic fallacy proves, just because something is natural doesn’t mean it’s good. Climate change is a natural result of the greenhouse effect; doesn’t mean it’s a good thing.

Not that simple. If you drill two wells at the start, then you have twice as many things that can go wrong. The well originally had a safety valve, but they removed it a few decades ago because it stopped working, and never replaced it. It could have stopped all this much earlier. Then the relief well would not have…

This is happening all the time, all over the world, with leaks going for like half a century or more in some cases...

Were either the Porsche 912 or the Dino popular when new? I'm actually asking.

these didn’t sell well when new:

when new it was characterized as a VW and not a real porsche but values on ones that are not rusted to hell are soaring

Listen. Close your eyes and listen.

Prius. I would trade it in immediately to put towards a car I actually wanted.

Ferrari F40

GTi of course! I had an 04 VR6 and I loved it, even though it was the least loved GTi. It was fast enough and really fun to drive. I know, technically it is a Golf,
