i get the impression that ferdinand piëch was a very impulsive and eccentric kind of a guy... someone who might, on a whim, order the entire retooling and reorganization of a plant just because he didn't like the tone of an email from dieter zetsche about hypothetical packaging limitations lol

I always knew the LX 570 was your favourite vehicle. You should be running it with premium, so it’s running at perfect spec. Long live, full-time four-wheel-drive

Don't ask questions!
I will say when we travelled for Thanksgiving we were both surprised by the lack of traffic (we travelled on different days). Coming back traffic was horrible.
