Is that after you spend ~$500 and over three hours at the mechanic, you no longer care the moment you get behind the wheel. You just embrace the fact that for one brief moment, everything works perfectly. It’s like living in Berlin in 1945. Sure, those Russians hanging out to the east of the city seem a biiiit suspicious, but hey, the Reich is gone.

On a related note, I was watching old-new Top Gear on yesterday and saw this example of Top Lies .

None the less, I’ll choose to believe it. Because that’s exactly the sort of willful delusion needed to own a Jag.

“You just orient the survey the proper direction and you’ll see that the XJ8's lead over Lexus in reliability is yuuuuuuge”

Same goes for German Car ownership.

I’m sure it could do really well if the duration of the test was 20 minutes

Yeah, I don’t think that’s how people in Berlin felt. The 100,000 or so rapes  would have dispelled any sort of “suspicion” about the Russians and a lot of the local populace wasn’t that opposed to the Reich.

Fair point. I was thinking about things more along the lines of Victor Klemperer’s “Yay! Soviets have put a stop to Nazis and antisemitism. Oh shit, they’re assholes too.”
