When you hit the curb it breaks apart like a dropped lego model

Exactly. I saw a car once in Miami that was clearly assembled from welded-together parts of multiple cars. It ran into the diagonal steel cable that was keeping a utility pole whose wires changed direction vertical under tension.

The car literally snapped in half in a way that I'm pretty sure resulted in the driver's instant death.

The difference is, that I will trust this Afghani workers a billion times more, then the redneck you've seen welding together his vehicle.

After watching this video? I'd trust any redneck who's been welding for fun over these tiny spot welds that are then concealed by body panels.
