So what are the odds that, here in the US, we get those kick rear end front seats? I'd highly consider dumping my Abarth for that.

I suppose that if you can afford a veyron you can afford the garage labor charges. :v: But yeah, I can't see that being a practical setup.

Wasn't it an audi R8 Engine that had a ridiculous timing chain setup that just looked so very prone to failure? I recall an image.

Twisted minds?

For some reason this made me want to revisit the Pontiac Fiero:


Go ahead. I'll wait for you to finish. Did you notice the pop-up headlamps? Yes.

In case you missed the many stories of things that were wrong about this car, here are a few to get you started: Although marketed as a sports car, the engine was designed for low-revving efficiency, and was never intended to be redlined. The low-revving economy engine produced a whopping significantly less than 100 horsepower, so owners were probably of a mind to really give it some pedal to see if there was more in there. Breakdowns soon followed. GM just recycled the tires from an economy car. And the brakes. And the suspension. Because why not? Drivers who managed to get the car up to speed were greeted with a strange mix of economy suspension and one of the most rigid bodies of its era- the car was an absolute monster when it came to safety ratings.

But we want some really diabolical design. So how about the engine fires?
-Slightly defective connecting rods could fail dramatically, causing the car to catch fire.
-But all you had to do to avoid the problem was keep your oil topped off, and the rods would never be stressed so as to fail.
-Helpfully, the oil stick proudly declared that the car held 3 quarts of oil. In reality, the car held 4.5 quarts.

Oh, but you read your manual so you know the right amount of oil, no fires for you! So you put your car on a lift to give it a service and oh I'm sorry you idiot you just ruined your car. Didn't you know there are massive, fragile cooling ducts running the length of the vehicle which can be easily crimped by a lift thus causing overheating? You moron.

Eh, 4 timing chains isn't particularly rare for a DOHC V engine? What's so bad about it? I mean the timing chain guides fail prematurely but that could happen on any car.

Firewall placement aside there's just no loving excuse to design it like that. This is the BMW M3 V8's timing chain setup, the car the S/RS4 is trying to compete with:

I worked security for years in Vegas. Valets and security don't care as long as you're not bothering the patron/owner or touching the vehicle; a lot of the "VIP Valet" is more of a risk management "always on camera" policy once the driver leaves (as going through the ramps to the valet garage takes you through a couple of small blinds), and less "keep the rabble out."
