2023 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Must have been the last car off the line on a Friday...
Way back in the day my brother custom ordered a Dodge RAM truck and one side it was a 2500 and the other side it was a 3500...
Gotta love seeing bad QC... does not instill high confidence

I’m not a Conti fan but I find it real disturbing him saying they are seeing a lot of intransit damage. I happen to be at their shop a few years back when a transport dropped off a bunch of new cars. Looked like every tire was ridden against the ramps coming off the transport. So he’s getting cars with scratches paint damage and a week or so later the excited buyer gets a car that’s been repaired and no one knows. This isn’t a coughlin issue but a gm issue.
I wonder if 2 colors of seats would happen at an upscale manufacturer? Many years ago I was on a factory tour and at break time the workers sat in the cars for their smoke break. That does not happen today but the lack of pride is apparent.
its like someone spitting on your hamburger

I guess anything can happen, but that one should have been rather obvious, especially when the seats were installed as the car was going down the line.

Probably swapped the seats himself to get some clicks...

I doubt a C8 could get through BG QC with mix-matched seats.
