All minivans seriously SUCK. Those engines are so far in to the car, you have to drop the engine just to change the oil.

Agreed, although stuff may be packed in the engine bay tight, it's all right there.

Ditto on the minivans.

I hate locating stuff on chevy's.

Why does the wireing harness of the MT 04 ralliart run down the fender. This was the first car i've seen that done with. Is that a common practice?

Ha, ha... no lie. Got rid our Grand Am just in the nick of time.

Funny how cars are way safer nowadays, but I can't even get my scrawn arms in the engine bay to pick up a dropped nut. I see my uncle's 69 Camaro or my buddy's 76 Dodge pickup, and you can hide people under the hood.

I hate all Nissans with a burning passion. I hope the Skyline is easier to work on than a damn 300Z. We have an 86 (POS), and I've had a go at a Z32 (mangled my hands, which are SMALL) and watched a turbo kit install on a Z33 (we should just train mice).

I would have to agree. I did my turbo swap on my garage floor. Pulling the motor is no fun. But, it sure was a pretty car...
