The tool kit to my w126 and my e28 both have spare lightbulbs and fuses, they're some of the most common things to fail in a car

It's probably finding somewhere to park another car in Boston that's the issue

Maintenance on an air cooled is still gonna be way easier/cheaper than on a Ferrari

I get the same thing to a lesser extent with the BMW (the merc is too beat up for people to think it's worth anything) even though it's a $5-6k car

Calibrate your torque wrenches every year, you can send them out and it shouldn't cost more than $50 or so to get them adjusted.

Calibrating them is fiddly work, there are springs you have to adjust to get them in spec. We send our stuff to a local gauge and inspection company, not sure who would work for you in your area.

Even 912es are fuckin expensive, although at least you're getting something that looks like a 911 in that case

We once tried to take an Audi 5000 to the dealership for one of its scammy "bring your out of warranty Audi in for an inspection and get free wiper blades" promotions, both out of a desire for free wiper blades and a desire for A Story (or at least being able to understand where that weird clunk and hot-idle problem may be coming from).

The service writer failed to look it up on the computer and brought out the head tech, who denied the existence of any such car in the Audi family.

The unintended acceleration fiasco was very traumatizing to audi, maybe he blocked the memories?
