    Because you have researched and hired the finest engineers to know how to conduct the tests?

    I don't know how to test.

    Me too neither Sharon. I mean years later there are massive recalls of cars due to parts failures. Maybe it takes decades for the defects to show up. I dunno. Maybe all it can ever be is a crap shoot and luck. Thank you for your reply! :)

    When the {car} is so well built it causes more damage to the crash wall than the {car}.   LOL

    Has that EVER happened Walt? I've seen those crash tests on TV. I think Consumer's Union performs them. They are always non-partisan so what you read in Consumer's Reports is an unbiased result. I think that's got to be one of the scariest jobs there is. QC manager. You've got lives depending on you. That is very heavy and very scary. Thank you for your reply Walt!  :) This post was edited by RosieG at March 12, 2019 4:39 AM MDT

    Six years ago? So maybe that was a clue for them to toughen up the obstacle course? Thank you for your reply and the link Walt! :)) This post was edited by RosieG at March 12, 2019 8:54 AM MDT
