(grandpa) Ferdinand Porsche didn't say the engine should be in the back, he said it should be at the same end as the drive wheels to enhance traction.

At least, that's what my book says..

RIP to a brilliant guy who gave us some wonderful toys

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
