Does your simulator lift up in the rear (same feedback as an operator uses to recognize too heavy of a load) when you lift too heavy virtual load, same as a forklift?
?You do recognize that the point you made is that you think the person purchasing the BMW [in your BMW-vs-Honda comparison] is 'over compensating' and actually feels a -need- to spend more money to compensate for something in order to 'get the girl'? {still a clearly defined need in the mind of the purchaser}.

I am of the opinion that in the next 20 years, we will be intending to do away with operator's and their errors, and this is where your simulator actually has a greater value,that is in the collection of series of inputs that can be translated to autonomous self guided vehicles controls.

I would also bet that the type of traffic from the forum side would be somewhat different than the traffic from a store front, as the people looking in each place are likely to have used considerably differing search terms to find the pages [have differing reasons for finding the site]?
