    Love these sort of videos, I imagine the car becoming more and more conscious and
    aware of its own existence as it's being built. When it's sitting there and it gets its wheels and engine it's like a bird that gets its wings and it finally knows what it's born to do.

      Mind you the way they go about cat lick renewing of road surfaces leaving cars to embed the chippings into the surface doesn't exactly help a cars life of remaining stone chip free any more than the pot holes and craters, I am sure a good polish helps considerably to deflecting stone chips and scratches though.
