Posted by Samurai Nismo you can be such a tool. i replaced the transmission on a BMW 318... yeah, intelligently designed my fat ass. I've also worked on my fair share of Volkswagens... if it's not air cooled, it's a nightmare. Honestly, there is NO FUCKING CAR that is a pleasure to work on. None. Nada. Zip. they are all grabastic fucking whores that hate. you're too young, too naive, or too much of a fanboy to realize that.

Seconded.

Posted by cr400 I would rather be under an oily dirty car any day, instead of under a dashboard.

After doing those brake lines, I'd be happy to trace some underdash wiring. I fit well under dashboards.

I forgot to mention said truck had been oil undercoated THE DAY BEFORE the brake line blew.

Posted by CaptOrbit Seconded.

thirded...

i love gm but why why would the official procedure in a w body for changing the back three spark plugs involve disconecting an engine mount, thats just silly! or why would hyundai put a phillips screw to hold brake disks on... you know that screw is gonna be seized and get stripped as you remove it!!

Ford, Jaguar, GM, VW, BMW, Honda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Daewoo, Mazda, Kia, Toyota and Honda are all guilty of this.

Right now dealing with a rear brake caliper on my Speed Triple. Dumshitz used small allen bolts to secure the pads within the calipers, blew out the inside of the allen head with my thirty year old allens. This job should take minutes. I've had the bolt soaked with WD40 for a week, Vicegrips will be my next step, all I need is to break it free of the brake smudge/glue/corrosion/kryptonite.

Ive been working with my buddy on his 5 series and its a nice car to work on. My ford is atrocious and my van is even worse theres zero engine bay room.


gm sucks

well thankfully all my gms ive had the disks are held in place by the wheels.

Did a front pad replacement on my '95' F-150 Company truck. I'll swear, all I did was toss the pads in the general direction of the rotors, and they installed themselves.

4.9 liter inline 6, 5 speed, Eddie Bauer edition, I put 130,000 miles on that truck, always overloaded, she never whimpered once. I had to hand her in when I switched jobs, I'll swear that truck loved Me.

Wish I had the cash, I'd have bought her!!

believe me, after working on the Monte, the motor mount thing is a must.

when i took the AC off my 3.8 i had an OOPS im an idiot moment. I could clearly see the three bolts holding the compressor to the bracket... But think i saw the 2 tiny bolts on the back bracket, NAY NAY. so when it didnt budge i just thought i had a compressor seized to the bracket. after an hour of hammering and swearing i got out a miror and found those 2 bolts. Never felt so stupid.

Posted by CaptOrbit You sir are a liar, there is no BMW that is pleasant to work on.

No new BMW. My 97 M3 is fun to work on, as is my 1975 2002.

Trying to piece together the headers for my Baja Bug, Only 5 components, kinda like a mini ball o' snakes,

These things had me so pissed.

Along comes the wife with the smarty pants 152 IQ, as compared to my 48 IQ. She takes a look and points, this one goes in the front and this one goes in the rear.

Well FUCK ME............ Thanks.......... sweetiekins!!!!!!

I don't mind working on anything pre '03 or so.

My '72 2002 is about as complex as a lawnmower.
