Dumb Design

I had to go and pull all the tools off of a fellow workers service van today. It was an E-250. and a can lid pierced the condenser and nicked the radiator enough it lost it's fluid. Couldn't believe Ford could design an opening in the bumper that big without at least putting some expanded metal in to protect the fragile coils.
