That is what introduced me to my query from earlier this week, the place I requested you pretty individuals which automaker’s manufacturing unit you’ll wish to work at.

I am gonna go together with Pagani. Their facility is like half artwork studio, half automotive manufacturing unit. Since their output is so low, and almost all the pieces they make is bespoke, you are at all times going to be engaged on one thing attention-grabbing and totally different, and the chance of burning out working in a manufacturing unit that solely sells a couple of automobiles a yr is low.
