So you're under the impression that a bike should be unfazed after being run over by a two ton car? Or that two cars, with bikes secured on their respective racks, should be brought to a screeching halt when the two bikes become entangled and refuse to buckle? Sorry - you being a self-professed newbie has nothing to do with absolutely unrealistic expectations, nor do these failure modes have any reflection on real-world use.
