Outside of a brief aside in the movie Fight Club and what I assume are economic reasons, I’ve never seen good compelling reasons why airplanes are grounded for accidents, while cars do not seem to undergo the same level of scrutiny?
Is it just because cars are tested more before they enter the market?
From an outsider’s perspective, it seems that airplanes are already much safer than cars- so what gives?

What absolutely cracks me up is that car dealerships (in the US or maybe just in my state) are not required to address issues that are part of a recall when a car is sold or when a car is brought in for service.
Seriously. A while ago I bought a “nice” used car and within a week I got a warning light for the tail light. I was driving by the actual dealership, so I just brought it in: “oh yeah… there’s a recall for that… we can take care of it for you now…”
Really assholes? How about you fix the shit that needs fixing before you sell me the fucking thing in the first place?
