Poll: Good week or bad to have your car built?

As you probably know, the Euro 2008 final match between Germany and Spain is happening in a couple days. This week, match play reached a crescendo with Germany somehow hanging on to defeat Turkey and Spain crushing Russia. The poll question relates to the fact my vehicle is on the production line right now. Do you think the soccer fever hurts, helps or has no effect on production? If you are stationed or living in Germany please comment as well . I can take it.

This is for fun. Please keep the comments light hearted. Thanks.

Even if the workers “Heads are hanging from the late night pot banging”; the QA department should find any mistakes the workers made.

Mine should be at the docks before the final starts.... it's the shipping personnel that I'm worried about threading the needle with my 135 into the shipping containers...

you need to travel to germany right now. go to pubs every night and exclaim how americans are totally behind germany giving those spanish gypsies a good old fashioned blitzkrieg. that way they'll give extra special care to the ones coming stateside...

only thing that could be a problem is that spain looks a good bit better than germany right now... germany's best hope seems to be a very tight game with little adventure until the last 10-15 minutes, or a tie with the game decided with pk's.

at least they declare game days as holidays, so at least no cars are moving through the line while the game is actually on!:drinking:

Only if the QA dept is not handled by Germans.
