for some odd reason that reminds me of my car......



who would build carbon seals namely because WHEN they blow it wont harm its surroundings as much... as to expect it WILL blow.. hmm... germans....



they got some crazy cars though, and sure as hell know how to make them handle! bmw's that is...
