Right here.

Lesson 1: Even the experts are lost without a paper clip, chewing gum and a bit of string.

Lesson 2: Audi sedans may not be the best vehicle for a survival situation.

Lesson 3: TV ain't reality.

I'd be willing to bet that a lot of people now carrying a Swiss Army knife or Leatherman type multi tool were influenced by the series

I doubt there is anything under the hood of any high end German auto that is owner servicable

Any automotive problem can be fixed with the proper amount of C4 applied to the correct place.

As evidenced by an abundance of several Mr Rabbits and Squirrels one day on the demo range - too much will allow a 5 ton to jump up, turn a 360 in the air, then come back down on its' wheels, much the worse for wear.

And several of MacGuyvers stunts have been discredited on Mythbusters. Just sayin

C4: As always the debate turns to whether eliminating all evidence there was a need for a fix is equivalent to an actual fix. Submit your essays with appropriate Venn diagrams.
