Every now and then a Volkswagen runs into a little trouble at the factory.

Every now and then a VW runs into a little trouble at the factory. That hunk of junk was well on its way to being a Volkswagen, when it ran into a stone wall: a bunch of hard-nosed inspectors who pull enough parts off the line every day to make the equivalent of 20 cars. Or 2 freight cars full of scrap. There are thousands of inspectors who literally pick every Volkswagen to pieces, every step of the way. If there's a little scratch in a fender, it gets scratched. If there's a little nick in a bumper, it gets bumped. Wherever ten people are doing something, there's an inspector to undo it. For the paint job alone, no less than 8 inspectors check every VW. All that inspection doesn't mean the work isn't done carefully. The men who make the VW make it very well. The inspectors just make it perfect.

Calma! Eu explico.
