Your comments could be about almost anything these days. I went from working on older cars to working on mostly newer cars, the quality drop in general from last generation to this generation is a little disappointing.

Don’t we expect a whole lot of 2016 Volkswagen TDI cars to go on sale some time after the 2018s are out? Not the oldest, but an interesting situation.

As a 1099 employee the company he works for won’t offer coverage. He is a contractor. And that only scratches the surface of your comment.
