Repair Cost Are Out of Control: $5,600 Bill for Some Tail Lamps?!
In this video we show you one example of how repair cost are out of control on modern vehicles nowadays. It is definitely something to consider when purchasing a new vehicle.
Aren’t those the taillights that tell you how loaded your truck is?

Damn, did the car designer play Death Stranding?
I mean anything is possible. It wouldn’t be the first time media inspired technology.

Someone I know got into a bump with a bently in a parking lot. They said the shop had to remove the front windscreen to fix the rear bumper. That is some pretty dumb car design.
Just poor design.
Poor design for consumers.
Great design for maximizing profit.
