Default One of the brest factory videos ever!!

Although only 8 minutes it really gives you some insight on how our cars are put together. I never knew that such beauty and skill are required to put in a steering wheel!!! Does southwest fly to Stuttgart?

Working there would drive me insane. No talking, no music, no end insight.. And NO chance of ever owning what you build. Unless you do it Johnny Cash style.. "one piece at a time"..

I thought the thread title was misleading until I saw the girl install the steering wheel.

German factory workers are paid at a high rate. It would be interesting to know if they could afford a porsche if it was a priority in their life. The vette factory is a contrast in styles. The division of labor between m/f is noticeable in the Porsche factory .

Wow, that's pretty presumptive. It's not about how much you make/earn....it's about how much to save.

Some non 1st amendment moderator 'FIXED" the title.
It said the brest video ever. A small joke that even National Advertisers Chik Filet uses on their commercials.
Sheesh we arent even allowed a little humor. There is NO nudity, there was NO cussing
yet the Moderator figured we needed to be TOLD how to spell.

Porsche AG has a program where they have significant subsidies to allow the technicians to lease the cars if they so chose. I appreciate they're not technically "owning them", but it's a great deal none-the-less. It's been very popular and certain dealers around the world can let their employees participate as long as the dealership covers it. My local dealer did this and three long-term guys there just acquired C2's.

Given how many Cars Porsche makes/tests/sells I would make sure every employee has the opportunity to have one in some capacity.
