- Servers bathed in oil
- A Porsche-o-phile friend of mine sort of jokes that air-cooled Porsche 911 sports car engines aren’t so much air-cooled as they are cooled by circulating their oil, some 12 or 15 quarts of it. (For a more technical explanation, Google “air-cooled Porsche.”) Porsche enthusiasts still argue about the merits of...
