Who determines what is acceptable?

My son is an auto body tech and collects random parts and parts cars for a certain model year range, and has restored a number of wrecked Cruzes often with mostly parts he has on hand. Parts are reas...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
If a nearly new ship has a catastrophic failure like this. That doesn’t speak very well of new things built by the lowest bidder… much like Boeing airplanes. With software outsourced for $9/hr and a third party contracted that forgot to tighten bolts, so doors fly off midair. An accident can’t be a...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
This is part of the reason we hate bridges… The Huey P long bridge was the source of terror growing up… they have since expanded it from it’s original 9 foot wide lanes with no edge. Unfortunately, you really can’t make bridges to withstand something like that without spending ridiculous amounts of ...
