Up to their old tricks again, are they?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

All the new luxury cars are that bad. I have to remove the front passenger tire to change the oil filter on my honda accord. An oil change require the removal of tires!

Not being mechanically savvy, I'm happy to pay the price of ignorance. Dealing with garage people is pricey (sometimes), but I strongly suspect that the aggravation I save is going to double my effective lifetime.

How on earth do you get an engine to jump out of the compartment?

What sort of driving style gets you there?

Or was it a typo and you meant 15 months?

I gathered that his complaint was not that a 15-year-old car was having mechanical problems, but rather that the difficulty of doing the repair was a major source of frustration. Of course, I've had my coffee.
