The idiots would drilled a jagged 3/4" hole and not put any paint, primer or anything on the bare metal edges. They'd just stick the spray wand in the hole and spray their "magic goup" inside scamming everybody into thinking this somehow protected the entire car from rust. Then they'd plug the hole with their little plastic cap.

The “D” in D-Day stands for “Day,” the traditional military protocol used to indicate the day of a major operation. The day before D-Day, June 5, was D-1. The day after, June 7, was D+1.

Called Exercise Tiger, a D-Day dress rehearsal proved fatal to around 700 Allied sailors and soldiers who died in a training exercise at a friendly British beach. Speedy German attack vessels called E-boats became aware of the maneuver and attacked the Allied flotilla, sinking several ships with torpedoes.
