For a long time I have held a strange belief when it comes to automoblies. I believe that ENGINEERS AND MECHANICS ARE LODGE BROTHERS!!!  this is the only explanation I can come up with when I think about some of the complicated things you have to do to get to the simple things. I once owned a J**P Cherokee that required disconnecting a water hose to get to the number 4 spark plug!!  The engineers are making the cars to guarantee that their co-conspirators, the mechanics, will always have a steady flow of work because most stuff is too much of a PITA to do yourself!  That's just my opinion, BTW I also beieve that the Government was involved in the death of Martin Luthe King, JR!
