The engineer felt bad that he didn\u2019t notice this one before creating the car. The owner was amazed on how to take it outside of the manufacturing area. The painter said that they can bring out the car and there will be a few scratches on top of the car which could be touched up later on. The engineer said that they can break the entrance, take the car out, and later re-do it. The owner was not convinced with any ideas and felt like it is a bad sign to break or scratch<\/p>\r\n<p>A Watchman was observing all the drama &amp; slowly approached the owner. He wanted to give an idea if they had no problem. They wondered what this guy would tell them that the experts could not give.
