No more so than Boxsters or Priuses.

The valve guides are hand made from Play-Doh.

And the transmission assembler tried to make two gears fit where there should be three.

According to some sales brochure...there are a couple of ladies sewing leather seat covers in Eastern Europe...I'm pretty sure they were using their hands...

The engine tray was definitely hand made - so why take it off?

Almost 5PM, so we can all have a hand-crafted German beer with the 'corn while we're waiting on the Peanut Gallery.
