Thats great minutiae! :)

And actual facts: exhaust note on 718S has 3 settings, not just sports exhaust on/off... imagine my surprise. Finally, original caymans model year 2006 were made/assembled in Finland, not Germany.

As a kid I thought all Harleys came stock from the factory with super loud exhausts... I later found out that everyone basically does a muffler delete on them.

Damn, you just gave me a great idea (if I owned a Porsche):

Its by design, I forget which weird automotive show I learned that fact from... but I’m afraid to say it was Pimp My Ride

It was more years than that. I had a 2007-can verify it friggin’ cranks! It broke a valve spring 1 month after I bought it. (Turns out it was a known problem. Toyota didn’t recall it, but Lexus did.)

Lies. LIES!

One of my favorite tricks is stuffing emoji in to fields to see what breaks. They’re multibyte unicode, which means lots of specs allow them but random software gets confused.

It’s 2019. You should be able to put EMOJIS in your filenames if you want. If your software doesn’t properly sanitize your inputs, your coders are doing it wrong.

If you want the dealer to do it...there are free ways to diy.

Or...

It’s been done, but it’s NOT the Stig: it’s the Stig’s lorry-driving cousin!

THIS ONE WEIRD TRICK BRICKS YOUR CARS STEREO!!  CAR DEALERS HATE HIM! 

Once had a trouble report that a certain customer’s file kept crashing the software. Nothing was wrong but then I noticed the customer’s name was Bob. Bob Null. Someone didn’t do a null check in the code and the database wasn’t having a null shoved in it.

If you play Black Sabbath @ 78 speed, you’ll see God(an old Cheech and Chong skit).

Smokey and the Bandit would have been a very different movie with this thing in it.

ETRC also has 160kmh limit

It starts at about 10 minutes in:

Yeah, but let’s see `em do it with a 55' reefer full of chicken nuggets!

Obligatory...
