Well, true, good point. I think much fewer while parked and turned off. But I do remember now my old VW Bug manual, which detailed at least four ways the little beast could catch itself on fire.

To be honest, the old VW Bug was technically a less than perfect car already back the day. A nice car, for sure and I love quirky old cars. But technically not perfect.

Yeah "technically not perfect" pretty much sums up my experience with it :)

On the other hand, four ways to self-ignite is an engineering feat in itself!

I mean it was essentially a mass produced shitbox designed to be affordable to someone living in the economic clusterfuck that was interwar Nazi Germany, you can't expect miracles
