The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Back in the day Lamborghinis were famous for breaking down on the way to a road test.
That was before Lamborghini was owned by Audi.

And the hilarious Lambo repair bills.
3 months ago in a German TV show about used supercars they compared 2 similarly priced/age ones (both around 100k Eur), a Lambo and a McLaren. A big service (with timing belt change, requiring to get the engine out) for the McLaren was 7000 Eur, for the Lambo 3500 Eur. No idea though how much that would be for a Ferrari.

the amount of small space available is truly amazing...you couldn't fit a soft gym bag, for example. It was once called the world's fasted briefcase.
I am used to that, as until 5 years ago I might have had the second-fastest briefcase, an Opel GT Roadster with (not standard) 310 PS --- which actually is a rebadged GM Saturn Sky. 66 litre trunk! My motorbikes with topcase and tank bag had more. I once in desperation tried to fit an additional pair of shoes behind or under a seat as the trunk was filled, with ONE soft bag. No chance!

Nevertheless I drove it 7 years until I destroyed it 5 years ago in a very bad accident, with the biggest tour from Germany to Provence, along the coast to Tuscany, and back through the Alps. 5000km with just a soft back and a female passenger who was capable of suffering.
