I 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.

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?)

    At first I wanted to write a comment about how cars and sex are apparently very well linked. Upon thinking it over once more, it appears that the real link to sex is privacy, which is of course obvious. Thinking over it once more, we're brought back to the real selling point of cars: total privacy. Public transport is on paper really good, but it is totally devoid of privacy - which means that it is bad in reality. In other more provocative words, public transportation is bad because you can't have sex on the bus

      Public transport porn is actually a big thing in the Czech Republic, at least according to my bookmark collection.

    I think, you were just about to tell us about your first time with your grandma.

You were doing 160 in a death trap with minimal safety features, which was literally making the air unbreathable.

    Citroën were the first to make diesel filters standard. And my C15 had the HDi engine with diesel filters. And unlike others, they did not cheat and were not part of the Diesel scandal.

    Also, I survived.

    And when it comes to security features, more important than not having side airbags would have been not to combine smoking weed and fellatio while doing 160.

    I am not saying that any of this would be a good idea if keeping your life is a priority.

    But even with maniacs like myself on the road, Germany has deaths from fatal car crashes of 3-4 per 100,000, while the US has 12-13.

    But again, I am not a lawyer, not a doctor, and this is not health advise, just a true story of what I did 25 years ago that may or may not entertain readers.
