Abstract

Last night I heard one of the guys say we did 391 cars. How many welds are we supposed to put in a car? They have governmental regulations for consumer protection. We just put what we think ought to be put in there and then let it go (laughs). There are specifications which we pay very little attention to … You have inspectors who are supposed to check every kind of defect. All of us know those things don’t get corrected … Whenever we make a mistake, we always say, ‘Don’t worry about it, some dingaling’11 buy it.’ (Laughs).1
