What keeps engineers awake at night?

You might have done your design work and your bench/road testing but the proof of the pudding is in the eating:

Not your typical Porsche usage!

I actually do know the answer to that one and it's not what you'd think

What keeps me awake is wondering why I know theses things...

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy car parts which is kind of the same thing.

That reminds me of that old joke:

An engineer crosses a road when a frog calls out to him, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."

He bends over, picks up the frog and puts it in his pocket. The frog speaks up again and says, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week."

The engineer takes the frog out of his pocket, smiles at it and returns it to the pocket.

The frog then cries out, "If you kiss me and turn me back, I'll do whatever you say!"

Again the engineer takes the frog out, smiles at it and puts it back into his pocket.

Finally, the frog asks, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, I'll stay with you for a month and do whatever you say. What more do you want?"

The engineer says, "Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool!"

And yes, Jonny, good work!

And here I thought a certain English engineer was being kept awake at night trying to figure out how to make an electric a/c system blow cold air in hot climates?!?!?

Worrying that the guy in the adjoining cubicle will come up with the "next big idea".
