the vw beetle is righteous, if you don't know why...get back to you counterbalanced combination of inline fours in a crazy theory (as per v8 hot rodding usual)

the most overglorified is the porsche. it took the corvair type crank and mauled it into a crazy one...the 911 is not supposed to exist, the boxster is...in fact, I don't even want to know how nerdy they got in years long intervals to make that work. it is still fragile and easy to make a complaint.

I wanted to build my own porsche engine, the tiny air cooled 2.2, finding the carnk photo was a jaw dropper. some like the craziness. I don't for physics reasons.

there is others. but porsche. that just makes me angry , as I am a seriously flat 4/6 fan.
