    None as of yet
    I can almost guarantee that for hood and door applications the falsified numbers are still within spec. powertrain or suspension components on the other hand I would start looking at the MTRS for the steel and see where a major stress failure could cause injury.

    My neighbor across the hall here in the projects told me there are potheads that live on the 2nd floor. Imagine that!

    I love it when people ignore you but you can still post stuff for the other 100,000 TW members to see.... Dude you need to take a big fat chill pill and quit over reacting to simple funny shit. YOU were the one that mis perceived the OP as attacking 3rd gens owners and YOU were the one that over reacted yet again...and now you're trying to imply that all 2nd gen owners are pot heads ?

    ...anger issues much ?

    You missed my point entirely.

    headline said Kobe Steel. Dude I quoted mentioned plane parts being not steel. As if Kobe Steel as a corporation didnt source materials other than steel. IE Burger King, only selling burgers.

    I think I need to fold the other end of the ping pong table up and play with myself because the sarcasm serves just keep being missed ...
