Just read that the average car has over 30,000 parts

I was looking up some specs for a 2020 Civic bumper job and saw that fact in a footnote. I mean, I knew cars were complex, but that number just blew my mind. It really puts into perspective how many little clips, fasteners, and bits we're dealing with on every single repair. Makes me appreciate when a job goes smoothly and nothing extra falls off. Has anyone else stumbled on a stat that made you pause and think about the scale of what we do?

Count every fastener you remove, trust me on that one.

Nah, I've learned that lesson the hard way.
