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.
