I can confirm all of the findings.

My first car I got in Germany was a C15. I used it to transport server racks, but also had a mattress in the back and had my first sex on it. On muddy festivals where others cars got stuck, I was able to get out easily. Repairs were dirt cheap. It also had a tow bar, and was able to pull a 1.5 metric ton trailer to get equipment to a computer party.

And I still was able to do 160 km/h (100 MPH) with it on the Autobahn. With or without server racks, with or without sex.

Best car I ever had.

It is really insane that these days cars on average weigh 25-40 times of their load. Human stupidity never ceases to amaze me.
