I am not sure he would ever wear a tie. But he said he won't drive
anything but old style VW Beetles. The real ones, with the engine in
back, the fan behind the engine and away from the "user", and tightly
bolted to the drive shaft I believe or at least belt driven from there.
Don't know much about Beetles.

This was in the 90's and no, it wasn't encapsulated. But as Spehro said,
a warning label was there. Except that this was in Europe and you just
have to hope it is in a language the driver happens to understand. I
remember when I drove an Alfa Romeo in the Netherlands and the dashboard
said things like "Luci" and "Fari". I figured it out but it took a
while. We learned Latin in school but the Romans didn't have cars and
the candles on their chariots didn't have a high-beam switch :-)

Anyway, the Audi sure was a really nice big car, never let me down and
it could go fast without guzzling gas like crazy.
