I think the parking light feacture is so it drains the battery half as fast as both of them

I think that, the non sticking blinker, frequent valve adjustments, and the no right side mirror are all german quirks... Its also build like a freekin tank, but still handles awesome
Theres still no reason for a 2nd gear start on a 76 with 75?HP new, NONE...
If it bugs me enough, I'll rig up something that presses on the kickdown even when im not at WOT, and make it so that I can shut it off at 45mph
I love German cars
