Want to see some gore?

Long story short, I had a fender bender back in January which was covered by my insurance and cost them a whopping €18k before taxes. The roads were all clear and good on the way to work but a little section of backroad at the end of the trip wasn't treated with salt so I started slipping on an ice spot on the shit BFG tires into some (thankfully loose) concrete barrier blocks.
The dealer literally replaced everything with a little scratch to it. (But also a headlight, rim, leaking Fox shock 2 months later etc) Good for me.

But, they also replaced the transmission crossmember which apparently arrives new in 3 parts and should be welded. The old one had a small edge bent, I wouldn't have mind if they didn't replace this part but hey, it was "free" so why not. The tech assured me he welded it better than factory (Spoiler: he did not)

Look and shiver about how badly a Ford dealer fucked this one up. I was literally getting nauseous when I saw this.

Not even welded at the top, welding wire all over the place, piss poor "welds". I even suspect this would be a no go at the yearly inspection over here.
I've asked for my old crossmember back and I'll be replacing it myself. JFC...

Just hit it real hard with a hammer see what comes off.
Too bad you have to go through that nonsense

At that point I would have asked the insurance company to buy the car, then just go buy a new RRaptor. What a joke.

Was the tech chewing bubble gum, on their phone, and talking about how demure they are as well? Yikes!
