That show is a few years old and there are threads on it. With that said, it is really, really a great show.

Personally, I loved how detail oreintated it shows the cars being made. The little template thingee for putting the correct badge on the rear was neat to see.

I mostly liked the show but was also a bit disappointed in how mass produced our cars are. I kind of knew that already but it really hit home watching the video. On my list of attributes I look for in a great sports car, exclusivity is pretty far down the list (and the 911 checks the most boxes by far) but it's still kind of cool to hear for example that if you go to the Lambo factory there is an old woman hand stitching the leather panels and the bumpers etc get placed and bolted by 3 Italian guys who then stop and admire the car... (Yes I realize how silly and this sounds but it's an irrational emotional thing with these cars sometimes isn't it? )

That's probably why I see one catch on fire every three days on the news. I'll take the robots!
