Yup, Factory Five's problems were so bad that people kept buying and building the company's cars in increasing numbers, year after year after year. In spite of those problems, some of which were blown ridiculously out of proportion, and many of which were carped about long after they'd been addressed, the Smith brothers still had to fight the enthusiasts who wanted their product off with a stick. They built a better mouse trap, or, filled a need that no one before had filled, and grew at a fantastic pace. They had trouble keeping up with that growth for awhile, but it does seem the worst of the growing pains is past.
