[DML] Mystery stamp.

["Robert Rooney" <dmcvegas@xxxx>]

While we haven't picked up our car yet, we have already been down to LA
to test drive, and film it (we're in Las Vegas, NV). While looking over
the car, I noticed some unsual things, and had some questions that
maybe I could clear up here on the list... The warning labels on our
car all caution "Negative Earth." Is there any special differance
between a car that has "Negative Earth", and "Negative Ground"? Another
thing is this: If you look down through the enginge compartment on the
passenger side of the car, where the facia curves down & forward, there
is a stamping in white ink that reads, "1981 NOV 3". My question is
what does this date signify? My VIN plate shows that my car is a NOV
1981 build, so could this stamp be when the facias were put on, or my
car's actual "birthdate" from when it was completed? From the angle of
the stamp, it looks as though someone reached under & around the bumper
to hit this spot. It also looks as though they had to restamp the car
because there are 3 seperate marks with 1 not making full contact with
the surface the first time. When I get a chance, I'll upload pictures
and you can see what I mean. Ideas? Thanks in advance.
