Crappy design?

Designed for a car lifetime of 10 years - and still kind of functional after 22 years. So what do you mean?

BTW: jealous of your neighbours. My neighbours would kill me if i would do an engine out on the driveway.

True. A little oil leak won't affect functionality. Also, one bank is still totally fine. Not too bad for a 22 year old car. Downsizing engines to 3 cylinders is kind of popular nowadays anyway.

Yeah, they don't see much of this, I park the family minivan in between his car and the Porsche (we share the driveway). He's nice, he comes by every now and then just to express his genuine surprise of seeing what's going on there. Once he even offered his help . I don't make a mess that would affect them anyhow.
