"I remember a story from awhile back about people in the 60's playing practical jokes on the assembly line.. dropping gravel and misc stuff down inside of doors right before the panels were installed, or writing a message inside a door panel for someone to find one day. The gravel sometimes making an annoying rattle that nobody could ever trace down. I kind of chalked that up to a possible urban legend... until today.

I was taking my front end apart to black out my headlights and do some paintwork on my rbs grill.. and when I removed the front bumper, I was kind of shocked to see this...

A beer can semi crushed, and wedged up under my headlight. could only have been put there on the assembly line in Lafayette Indiana. The beer can has a little hole in the top from a can opener (dunno why?), and a little message written on the side of it..

New Legacy GT... Depending on my mood I'd totally get on Subaru for letting something like that slip. That is just bad quality control and terrible for the image of the car manufacturer. I'd hate to have my new 30K car messed with by some random assembly line guy. He probably thought no one would find it... 90% of most car owners wouldn't remove the front bumper.

here's something you guys might not understand:

they still build cars at 4:50pm

anybody who's worked in a shop will understand that by that time you don't give a crap if what you're workin on catches fire, you just want 5 to come round so you can head home.
