"Just add beer......"

That got my attention!

"...replacing your oil pan gasket on a 240 (when you thought it would be a 30 minute job like on your Dodge Caravan)..."

Yeah, that job's no fun. How about dropping the oil pump into the pan, then removing the pan? And then reinstalling the pan, and then bolting up the pump by blindly reaching between the pan 'n block? Oh, and ya gotta install the delivery pipe blindfolded, too, while ensuring that the O-ring on each end remains intact...

I guess the second suckiest job is the &^@*$% blower motor.

And reinstalling the wiper cables is no fun.

"...upon whose shoulders....(Don't shrug, OK?)"

Objectively, it's tough being the architect of such a Rand-y bunch. Ayn that's no joke!
