Tronix Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 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... http://tcforum.com/tronix/can1.jpg 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.. http://tcforum.com/tronix/can2.jpg Its an Old Milwuakee can. Probably a popular brand up there in northern Indiana near Wisconsin. funny stuff. -Tronix(and a happy new year)GT for more pics and info... http://angevine.org/legacy/legacy.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlrtime Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 That is crazy. Try telling that to the dealer or SOA. They will just think you are some drunk who passed out and put it there yourself. Maybe you can do some investigating and find out where the can was sold? crazy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDII Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 The sad part is, is that whoever drank the beer opened it with a can opener when it is obviously a pop top. This should tell us something about the level of intelligence of the workers at the subaru plant... Need forum help?

mlrtime Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 The can opener hole is most likely to allow the person to drink the beer much faster. Something about air/beer displacement, its been awhile since college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mach_six Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 They allow you to drink beer while working.?! Doesn't matter what day it is, alcohol shouldn't even be near an assembly line. I guess that shows what kind of people are making our cars which is why I try to buy cars made in the US, like those people who spit in your food when you order out. Anyway removing the beer can, you just degenerated your car's structurural integrity. I guess that's what they mean by crumple zone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean you try NOT to buy cars in the US? Notes in the car (like written on inner door panels) is funny, I don't know so much about finding "extra" parts.
