    Pre-scrapping RAMs on the assembly line is now part of the new Fiat "Good Manufacturing Process".......:bananadead: Part of Fiat's new customer loyalty program. Saves them the horror of owning one....

    A minor issue. It'll be pulled back upright, cleaned up and repaired, and shipped to a dealer with no mention of the accident. Damage suffered at the dealer is handled the same way.
