If you ever feel your job is useless, remember, someone somewhere is installing turn signals in BMWs.

Fake news, I used the indicator in my X1 this morning.

To my surprise it works! Must be that quality German engineering

Meh, not so good as you might think. I checked on mine and at first it worked but then it didn't, then it worked again and again it didn't and so on. Must be some lose cables or something.

Best to just avoid using it entirely then.

Is that supposed to be funny, friend?

Must be that quality german humor.

It was a joke actually. In all seriousness I am actually really good with my indicators, especially as I have 2 sons who have either recently got their license or are working towards it. They are more than happy to point out even the slightest error.

Yeah, but you can only use them with a subscription to BMW+.

It was more like a clip to put on your belt so you could show off to everyone you had a mobile phone.

Damm, never thought I'd see a meme with Xavier being still circulated in 2023

That thing was built like a tank. So cool memories.

OP’s pic isn’t even the original brick Nokia.

I remember like 25 years ago, getting into some argument with my girlfriend on the phone. After we hung up, I spiked that phone on my office floor, it bounced back up like four feet in the air. I chipped the corner of that bigass sliding battery, but the phone still worked. Not sure my iPhone would handle that. Though they seem pretty durable, I don’t want to test mine like that.

My old one survived an 8-story fall onto concrete after my wedding. Just crazy durable

@MobileTechGuy, launching it from 300 m only destroy the screen, the phone still works.

I was saying boo urns.

I only had it to keep the finger grease from building up in the crevasse.
