My 14-year old daughter wants me to get her some sort of Argan Moroccan Oil. Mighty expensive stuff. $48 for 1.7 ounces.
Hmmmm... 9 quarts x 32 oz per quart = 288 ounces.
288/1.7 = 169.4 bottles needed for an oil change.
169.4 x $48 = $8,131.74 per oil change, not including the shipping and filter.
That Argan Moroccan Oil must be great stuff!!!
Is this the right blog to post this Tweet in?

Just thought this might be of interest to the Blog as it shocked me.
I have a Cayenne Diesel and having filled one of motorbikes with fuel just before the car, I inadvertently put petrol in my diesel car. I drove on 100 yards when I realised my mistake. I stopped the car and called Porsche assistance. BIG MISTAKE. Porsche have not even opened the car. They have quoted £8,968.99 to maintain my Porsche warranty. That is the standard price! Upset by the price I was advised to phone Porsche customer services. The lady there unhelpfully stated "what did she expect them to do, it was my fault" and advised I speak to my insurers. Very rude and very unhelpful. The garage has informed me the work they need to do actually only needs to be £1,300 but if I do not spend the £9k there will be a mark against the car in the Porsche records that will mean it has no value to a Porsche dealer. The whole experience meand I will never own a Porsche again.

Here in the US.. there are mechanism in place so that you cant fill unleaded fuel with Deisel engines and vice versa. Maybe you should sue Porsche or the EU petrol industry for destroying you car and making your Porsche ownership experience not idiot proof enough... just a thought.

Ummm... Brian made his one and only post nearly 5 months ago. I assume he is dead by now. Why are people responding to his blog now??
