alt Hacker NewsI can confirm all of the findings.
My first car I got in Germany was a C15. I used it to transport server racks, but also had a mattress in the back and had my first sex on it. On muddy festivals where others cars got stuck, I was able to get out easily. Repairs were dirt cheap. It also had a tow bar, and was able to pull a 1.5 metric ton trailer to get equipment to a computer party.
And I still was able to do 160 km/h (100 MPH) with it on the Autobahn. With or without server racks, with or without sex.
Best car I ever had.
It is really insane that these days cars on average weigh 25-40 times of their load. Human stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

Reminds me of the 1973 Toyota RV-2 concept car, with the back of the car being a giant sexy shag carpet. Look at this amazing (nude) ad in Penthouse:

You were doing 160 in a death trap with minimal safety features, which was literally making the air unbreathable.
My first car was a rusty 20 year old Renault 5, in which I barely fit myself, so no sex in the car for me.
(But my grandma had a flat that she did not live in during the summer months... hmm... sweet memories... excuse me, what were we talking about again?)
