On my trip to Germany I got to meet several of the engine builders. Until then, I really didn't get the idea of this, but it really hit home that day.
When they say that the engine was built by this person, it really means this is the only person that touched your engine. I don't think I ever really understood that until I saw it with my own eyes.
To watch one man take an engine from a very small block all the way to what it looks like in your pictures is a remarkable experience.
You also realize, how truly talented these people are and, when you meet them, you understand how much pride really goes into each engine and how important it is to them to have their name on your engine.
I am very pleased to meet your engine builder. Thank you. I have a lot of respect for these guys.

Window Sticker
Posting the entire spec from the sticker for next generation who will look at all of these features and will laugh at us, older folks, that our cars did not have auto-pilots, were not powerful enough, did not come with 21-speed NFCT (No Freaking Clutch Technology) and so on and so forth.
