If you don't think that kind of stuff happens on production lines, then you clearly don't remember the work platform that got left in the space shuttle, even though the paperwork showed the workers removed it, and the inspectors stamped off on it.

Note there are 5 sections. GM does not make a 5 section taillight that looks like the one on the right.

that's pretty interesting, but I missed it the first time time too - if I were in QC and looking at hundreds of the same truck every day, I might have missed it too. unless the brake lights are on, I don't think I would have noticed. | |

not a big deal as far as I'm concerned...just posted it because my buddy sent it to me this morning.
I'm sure its one of those things that happens way more than anyone knows/expects, its just not often that someone has a cameraphone handy and cares to take a picture.
It was posted, half in a joking manner, because of all the bankrupt talk. | |
