What did you do today not on your truck...

[special-K]

The rant, or one of the rants, I come up with while spending 2 hours to get to a part that takes ten minutes to change or when the fastener that needs removed is out of sight and you can barely get your hand in to touch is:
Then... Back in the day engineers were given a list of objectives and they'd come up with a design. They get all done, then one says, "How will a mechanic be able to access that for service?". They others all tap their head and say, "Damn, back to the drawing board".

Now... The same thing happens, and they all laugh and say "Screw 'em"

Actually, that was at first. By now no one even asks about the mechanic so no laugh, just design in this sad state of affairs we have to deal with.

New vehicles are great (mostly/usually) when new and it ends there. Lower income people have always taken vehicles those with more money are done with. How can someone on lower wages afford to pay crazy high service costs for dumb little things? How can they do the work themselves without scanners and all other special tools needed these days? No consideration for any of these things.
