Was at my buddy's house last night for a bbq. He has been in the collision repair business for 35 + years. His job is to cut off all of the twisted metal and weld in the replacement pieces. He has to make sure it is structurally sound and all the panels line up, then it gets sent to the finishing guys. I guarantee he has welded on more cars in a year than Tony has his entire life.

Anyway, I asked him what he thought about this and he laughed. He said the only reason the factory didn't tie the subframes together was to save money.
