That’s a legit factory mistake... will be worth a ton in 30 years

If anyone knows anyone with another like this let me know.

Thanks

You betcha! This as a trade in and $190K might get me a new 2049 C15 by then. I'll only be 99 by then.

No sweat.

Man, I wonder what happens when you sell the car and the new owner adds oil via that way

Or worse yet, your local dealer does
