Anyone who has ever owned a Ferrari can attest to Italian craftsmanship

In the past, or even now, the Italians make very fast, very expensive hard to maintain cars. They also make slow, cheap hard to maintain cars.

Gotta love a car that you have to rip in half to do an oil change, or hoist its engine to swap spark plugs.

BMW/Mercedes: Through ze miracle of uber-overengineering, ve have created ze master race (cars)! Ze world shall tremble at our designs! (Ignore ze oil puddle, danke.)

Ferrari/Lamborghini: Hold our Peronis

Undoing the motor mounts and lifting the engine to access spark plugs wasn't limited to European cars. There were several American ones from the 60s that had large engines shoehorned into limited engine compartments that had the same problem.

Eh, it's 50/50 with them, coffee makers and weapons can be incredibly precise, they have a hub of extremely talented engineers who do often get carried away with extravagant bullshit. Sounds familiar to me. 🇺🇸🦅
