Unbelieveable. I've attached the two pics he has linked in his post.

Basically he found this can of "the Beast from the East" wedged between his drivers side headlight and his bumper beam. Remember, the Legacy's are built in Lafayette, Indiana, not Gunma, Japan like the Impreza's.

Makes me want to go take all the panels off my car just to double check.

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..

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

I know I wouldn't be happy about it. . . my message would have been a bit more blunt. . . :D

Another sad indicator that America is going down the poop-shoot.

That's funny. I don't think I'd be pissed if I found that. As long as it didn't mess anything up.

Does the can-opener puncture indicate that there were speed-drinking games going on during the holiday assembly time?

Nah. Lettering looks too good.

Dude, you're assuming that they found the *only* one.......Nick probably has the rest of the 6-pack under his spare tire.......:lol:




Maybe the '90's Subies with the infamous chronic exhaust-shield rattle really have other issues!;)
