I was planning to go back on Wednesday to get my black bow ties installed, but I did the front one by myself today. I just bought some floss to remove the rear one, so I'll install the rear tomorrow. I ain't going back to them.

You know, we've never figured out why our cars were in QC purgatory for so long... I was looking around under the hood today and noticed that the right (passenger) side strut tower mount looked like it had been muscled around. It looks like whatever coating that was on that upper soft part was scratched and scraped up. The left (driver) side is not like this and is 99% pristine. What do you all think? Has anyone found anything that looks like it was worked on post-manufacture? Oh, at this point, my Camaro had 120 miles on it.

So here's a thought. I have no idea if this happens, or if it's what GM means by QC hold, but it's based on my own experience with other things.
It's natural to assume a "QC Hold" means something is wrong with the car and needs to be corrected. But it might also be possible that -nothing- is wrong with the car and something was wrong with the manufacturing / inspecting process when the car was made. There are hundreds / thousands of individual steps in making a car. All of these appear to have automation to some degree. All of that automation requires machines and software. If just one of the stations where an assembly / inspection occurs is later determined to have a software problem (for example) that could have caused some problems to be missed... well, what do you do? They might have been missed, or there might not be any problems. Time to reinspect the cars. But what if the problems occured for a part that's now really, really hard to get to? (Transmission, say, or engine). It's probably going to be a slow, very labor intensive process to tear down to access the part, inspect the part, and reassemble. I'm not excusing the time... but I was wondering how something could sit in QC hold for an extended period, and watching the "Dreams Cars" special got me to thinking about all of the machinery used just to make a car. It's amazing it works at all.

I was really impressed with the image processing stuff. The robots take pics of the parts as part of the inspection process and use the images to measure tolerances / parts placement. Among other things, there's a crap ton of software driving all of that automation and inspection. And you can be sure it's not 100% correct before the line starts up.

No, it had 7 at delivery on Wednesday. Yesterday (Saturday) I was at about 120.

...with 7 miles on it and the rear tires spun by someone. Not at the dealer, though. It went straight from truck to the make ready rack at the dealer, somewhere between Lansing-Troy-Railyard, etc.
