That's almost as offensive as the previous-generation Beetle's bud vase.

I had to go look up what that was. I found a question from a guy who had bought a VW without a bud vase, and one of the funniest answers was a fellow who told him that he had purchased a defective VW. He told him the Bud Vase is integral to achieving the correct compression pressures in the pistons, and that operating the vehicle without the bud vase was not only fatally dangerous, but voided the warranty.

Sounds like something I would write.
