Tours will continue through June 16th with a few blackout dates. I was there last week for the Bash and took the tour on Thursday.

Good. Maybe while they're at it they can slap a coat of white paint on the walls, add a few more lights (the place photgraphs like a dump) and get their employees to dress like something other than slovenly meth addicts. They seriously need to pull that 'How its's made' off the air. Its humiliating. Great car, great engineering but my God man, give them some shirts! Half the union bums had to have the weed emblem on their hats blurred and the other half had exposed arm pits. FFS. The only guy with any class was the black guy in the sweater. Ridiculous.

"Hey Bob, the TV crews are gonna be here today shooting 'How It's Made; Dream Cars'. Gonna run on 12 different channels 30 times a week for the next 10 years. We're up against some pretty lofty competiton. Any chance we could get you in some sleeves for the day? Maybe just pretend to look at what you're doing and act like you're being careful or attentive? You know, just while they're pointing a camera at you?"

"Nope."

Nah, they don't really dress like that. I just you tubed a couple clips and damn, they do indeed dress like you described. And one guy had an exposed belt buckle working around painted panels.
