30 types of parts is a rather vague statement... i.e. microchips is a type of part... or bolts are a type of part. This could be a huge setback, or a minor one if they refer to a specific part model number as a "type" of part.

I do believe you lack comprehension and deduction skills.

"microchips" aren't minor, microchips as a type would be included in almost every single electronic system in a car.

If something like 30 different types/lengths of fasteners are missing then you simply approach another distributor for the time being. So no, you're incorrect, it does matter if it's a minor or a major part.

Yes, because I clearly said they can leave them out. On the plus side, thank you for proving my point regarding your ability to comprehend.

Rather then making up an argument you can beat, why don't you pick up a book and practice reading?

If you're so insistent that I ever claimed that, can you please quote me? If it's my sarcastic comment you'll make my day. Then again I wouldn't be surprised since you find it so hard to understand what you read.

Wow! I think I'll remind you to work on your reading comprehension in every post from now on in.

My argument wasn't even close to "Toyota can build cars without microchips"

lmao!

Try again after you pass grade 3 :)

I Never said that it has to be true. No source of information "HAS TO BE TRUE". Even trade journals have mistold information before. But the fact that you can so easily dismiss such a deep well of knowledge that has been peer reviewed and double checked by more people then any other source of information ever... makes me question your judgement. Again, go back to grade 3 and maybe you'll be able to properly comprehend my comments.
