I mean I can see why $30/hr is appropriate- the watching then moving the thing is incredibly rare skill set. Way tougher than a jiffy lube mechanic or barista making minimum wage.

It’s 2023 and ppl in this thread are still talking about jobs being outsourced. The jobs exist, the companies just decided to buy a machine to do it rather than pay an American. To be fair to the companies, it’s cheaper. The trick is they convinced you all to blame others. It’s automation that replaced the American line workers, not foreigners. Wake up! There is still a labor component, and robots can operate anywhere. So wages still drive decision making. I’ve been through plenty of outsourcing and don’t automate vs automation vs automate AND outsource analyses.

Yeah, bicycle economies don't result in many M8's...I mean, if u want one, just do it. But beemers are poser cars, especially M's. Hell even 3 series are over priced based on the badge. And the interiors kinda suck. That u wouldn't pick a porsche or audi at tat price point says a lot...it says, you're full of shite... 15 minutes ago, Over 29 years of fanhood said: 1 hour ago, Precision said: True, but isn’t it annoying how many freeloaders you need to carry along the way? yes 23 minutes ago, Over 29 years of fanhood said: There is still a labor component, and robots can operate anywhere.

Don’t drive nearly as well. Not a fan at all. Porsches drive extremely well but interiors are with antiquated displays and big blocky clumsy buttons. They finally fixed the bubble but tail of the cayenne and panamera at least. The 911 drives like a dream but isn’t very comfortable and the family isn’t cramming into that on. you have your opinion, i drove a 3 series station wagon for 10 years. That wasn’t posing for anything just liked the way it drove. My old man sport league buds would ask me if I was headed to the supermarket after practice every week. And I liked my 5-series too, I was the only person under 60 I ever saw driving one though. Maybe if you’re insecure you have a problem with that badge, or any in general, I just like the way they drive and how solid they are. I agree the m8 isn’t worth it. That’s the whole point. 100k+ cars don’t make any sense to me. I just like to look at it. That was my point. I’m not doing anything like that unless I hit the lotto. 9 minutes ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: yes, because everyone wins in a civil war....f'in fool. It take two ….
