Well, you are correct about that, it was one car. One car that was horribly laid out by Honda Japan. I've poked my nose into others and have seen similar disasters.

Not to worry, I've looked under the hoods of modern GMs, Fords and Chryslers. They're even worse. I watched two guys make a month long project out of a head gasket in 1990s era Pontiac Grand Am.

They refused to touch my Honda. "Too much time".

In contrast they did the MacPherson struts in a lady's 1990 era Camry in just thirty minutes. Both sides, no alignment required. That was what sold me on Toyotas.

Bought a brand new car instead.

I have strong opinions about how stuff is laid out in a product. It's my professional attitude about manufactured goods.

What do you do for a living, Dongdap? You ever make anything professionally?

Like I said, we'll see when I get to the Honda Stealership.

Ugh. This is going to go no where.

Can't debate with someone who's close minded.

Btw, do you get mad when your meal isn't fast enough at McDonalds?

What do you do for a living, Dongdap?

Now what do you mean by "close minded"? You've piqued my curiosity.
