There's a difference between a Ford robot and a bush mechanic with his $299 MIG from supercheap.

That was built about 15 years before any robots made an appearance.

The people who built/rebuilt that car must have been trained with Lego!

christ! what a waste.. althouh i guess its better the car is smashed and he is alright now, then the car is smashed and he is dead later..
almost as bad as the Exa the guys at "PIMP MY RIIIIDE" went to pimp over and found the front and rear halves of the car were welded, or more appropriately stuck together with some sort of super adhesive glue.. needless to say they threw it away and gave her a brand new mustang with 22's and a chrome/green paint job

It was actually a different episode where a Ford Escort was made up of 2 different cars. They got rid of it and bought him a Scion (one of those ridiculously boxy Toyotas). The EXA episode, they replaced it with the Stang because the EXA had no potential at all!
