Fun fact: When GM decided to import this car to the US they changed the entire layout of the interior to make it left-hand drive.... except the radio, that’s why the volume knob is on the wrong side.

I used to build car audio systems so I have seen a LOT of weird stuff in cars. Anyone who has to professionally disassemble a vehicle’s interior will likely have some horrifying stories of things they have uncovered.
