German engineering poll

[danws69@earthlink.net (Dan S.)]

I've got one:

Doesn't it rain A LOT in Germany??

yes?

Then why does my friggin' can leak all over the place? I actually had water
dripping from my sun visor clip the other day....!!! My seatbelts are wet
all the time (they get wet while they're wound up in their holsters)
AAAAAND....my floor is wet behind my driver seat. Oh, but wait, there's
more....if I park with a nose-down attitude, rain streams in from the
sunroof. And to top it all off, my badges leak (or SOMETHING back there) so
my stuff in the trunk gets wet too.

ahhhhh......the joys of living in Florida during the rainy season.....

the coolant inlet/outlet on our engines (16v only). they effectively trap
air in the head over time.
