Sometimes I say, more important than making a car dumb-proof enough, is to make it Brazilian-proof.

It's nice having idiot proof cars
Idiot-proofing a car enough to sell it in Brazil is quite a PITA. Some folks here complain about an older engine design simply for being older, yet if a newer engine is fitted to some car you'll see many complaints about how it costs more to mantain properly, or some idiots will ruin it by using lower-grade oil, coolant and other supplies.
