The 5 cylinder engine is underrated. Also, it's one of the best sounding engines on the planet. I'll be sad when they disappear.

Would you be buried alive for 48hr for a million dollars? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I don't think it's as unpopular as you think. I've also disabled them due to frequency.

Too many alerts for everything at all times. Alert fatigue is real. I hate that I've done it, as I may miss something important.

Keep up the good work folks.
