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,　ever　step　of　the　way.

If　there‘s　a　little　scratched　in　a　fender，it　gets　scratched.　If　there’s　a　little　nick　in　a　bumper,　it　gets　bumped.

Wherever　ten　people　are　doing　something,　theres　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.
